Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Roy Vandersluis found himself all in against Hugh Cohen in a preflop clash.

Vandersluis: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Cohen: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Wing Sent Packing

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Middle dozen spread on rapid roulette for Tom Wing!
Middle dozen spread on rapid roulette for Tom Wing!

Tom Wing found himself all in against fellow short-stack Kent Hunter preflop.

Wing: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Hunter: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

With Wing in the worst shape he could be in for his tournament life, the final board of {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds} would force him to the rail - or to the rapid roulette tables where he most feels at home - as Hunter climbs to 45,000 in chips.

Hachem Halted

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

Cale Callaway entered the pot with a raise to 2,500, only to have Joe Hachem bump it up to 5,300.

Ali Khalil made the call, as did Callaway to see a {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop fall.

Hachem moved the last of his chips into the middle and after Khalil folded, Callaway made the call to put the PokerStars Team Pro Australia member and 2005 WSOP Champion at risk.

Hachem: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Callaway: {8-}{8-}

Hachem's combo-draw was unable to see him improve against Callaway's set, as he was forced to exit the tournament early while Callaway soared close to 100,000 in chips.

Leaoasavaii Gives One Up

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Danny "Brotha D" Leaoasavaii raised to 2,700 from middle position and the next player called. Defending champion Aaron Benton also called from the big blind and the flop came down {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Everyone checked to see the {Q-Clubs} fall on the turn. After Benton checked, Leaoasavaii fired 4,200. His opponent moved all in for about 40,000 and Benton folded. Leaoasavaii showed the {K-Clubs} and tossed his hand into the muck, dropping back to 42,000 in chips.

Danny Huynh
Danny Huynh

Danny Huynh opened the cutoff to 2,500, only to have Jackie Glazier three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind.

Huynh made the call to see the {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop fall and Glazier fire out a continuation-bet of 6,000. Huynh moved all in, and Glazier double-fist-pump-snap called.

Huynh: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Glazier: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The turn and river landed the {K-Diamonds} and {6-Clubs} to see Huynh hit the rail as Glazier climbs to 85,000 in chips.

The Croc Bitten

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Billy "The Croc" Argyros fired 4,200 on the flop of {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} and an opponent checked to him. The player called and the turn brought the {2-Hearts}. Action checked to Argyros again and he fired 7,800. HIs opponent check-raised to 16,500 and Argyros called.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Hearts} and the first player fired 16,000. After some tanking, Argyros called, but mucked when he saw his opponent turn over the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights. Argyros dropped back to 14,000 in chips.

Stewart Scott
Stewart Scott

Facing a limp from Miray Badaoui, 2009 Aussie Millions Champion Stewart Scott moved all in from a few spots over.

Badaoui made the call tabling a dominated {A-}{J-} to Scott's {A-}{K-}, and when the {J-} spiked in the window with Scott unable to improve, he was forced to hit the rail.
