Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Justin Saliba
Justin Saliba

Stephen Chidwick opened from the cutoff and then called when Justin Saliba ripped in his stack of 88,000 from the big blind.

Justin Saliba: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

It was a classic flip and Saliba remained ahead following the {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. Chidwick then picked up outs to Broadway on the {a-Hearts} turn. However, the {4-Spades} completed the board and Saliba scooped in the pot.

Hall Back Over Starting Stack

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

Steve O'Dwyer opened to 16,000 from under the gun before Galen Hall jammed for 52,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to O'Dwyer who quickly called.

Galen Hall: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Steve O'Dwyer: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Hall paired up on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop but he wasn't in the clear just yet as O'Dwyer had a flush draw. The {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} completed the board and Hall found a much needed double.

Pardo Flips Vieira to the Rail

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

The action folded to Juan Pardo in the cutoff who shoved all in for a little over 100,000. Joao Vieira was in the big blind with a stack of 79,000 and eventually called it off.

Joao Vieira: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Juan Pardo: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} was bad news for Vieira after Pardo flopped a set of sixes. The {7-Hearts} on the turn improved Pardo to a full house, making the {j-Hearts} on the river insignificant.

Chidwick Finds a Double

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick shipped all in for 89,000 in the big blind. Hissou asked for a count and then made the call.

Stephen Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Sirzat Hissou: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} put Chidwick way out front with a pair of queens. The {7-Spades} on the turn meant Hissou was already drawing dead to the {10-Clubs} on the river.

Sirzat Hissou opened to 13,000 from early position before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 55,000. Hissou called.

Mateos continued for 20,000 on the {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and then it was Hissou's turn to make it 55,000. Mateos called.

The {9-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river then checked through to showdown. Mateos had the winner with his {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} for a flopped full house. He tried to set the trap but could not get Hissou to take the bait.

Sirzat Hissou
Sirzat Hissou

In a three-bet pot, with around 90,000 in the middle on the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts} board. Sirzat Hissou checked from the big blind before Felipe Ketzer bet 70,000 from the button. Hissou called.

Hissou, 168,000 behind, checked the {10-Hearts} river. Ketzer then moved all in as the bigger stack. After some deliberation time, Hissou put in the call.

Ketzer could only show his {8-Clubs}{7-Spades} for eight-high while Hissou had kings and tens with his {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Up and Down for O'Dwyer

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 12,000 under the gun and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel in the cutoff and Justin Saliba in the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} and O'Dwyer continued with a bet of 12,000 which only Thorel called.

On the {3-Diamonds} turn, O'Dwyer checked to Thorel who threw in a bet of 30,000. O'Dwyer check-raised all in and Thorel gave it some thought but opted to fold.

On the next hand, Sam Greenwood pushed all in for 59,000 from under the gun and O'Dwyer called it off in the big blind. Greenwood tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was up against the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of O'Dwyer. The board ran out {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Greenwood doubled with hardly any sweat.
