Lan Vo
Lan Vo

On a heads-up flop of {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Antwan Prince bet 125,000 but then Lan Vo moved all in for 545,000.

After spending some time in the tank, Prince made the call to put Vo at risk.

Lan Vo: {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Antwan Prince: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Prince was ahead with his pair of aces, but still needed to dodge Vo's flush draw. The board ran out with the {9-Clubs}{j-Spades} to secure Prince's victory and sent Vo to the payout desk in 12th place.

Jeremy Gaubert

Jeremy Gaubert moved all in preflop and was called my larger stack Jonathan Gaviao to put him at risk of elimination.

Jeremy Gaubert: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Jonathan Gaviao: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Gaviao was ahead with his pair of eights, and it was overkill when two more appeared on the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop to give him quads. Gaubert was left drawing stone dead and when the board completed {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} he was eliminated in 13th place.

Battle of the Big Stacks

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Josh Wang
Josh Wang

After a brief betting war preflop, a bet of 425,000 was made by Josh Wang and called by Thomas Carroll.

The flop came out {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Carrol checked to Wang who made it 360,000 to go. Carroll thought about it for a few seconds before making the call to see the {8-Clubs} on the turn.

Carroll then checked to Wang who decided to check back and the two say the river fall the {6-Hearts}.

Carroll then bet the minimum possible, 30,000 and sent the action over to Wang.

"30,000?" Wang questioned him, slightly puzzled, but then he announced a raise of 700,000 and put the pressure back on Carroll.

"You've got to have ace-king here, why did you check the turn?" Carroll began thinking out loud for a couple seconds before finally mustering the courage and made the call.

Wang then flipped over {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for top two-pair, aces and eights, which was enough to beat Carroll as he just shook his head and mucked his cards.

"I shove turn, you fold," Wang answered his question from earlier, to which Carroll nodded in agreement as Wang was pushed the massive pot to make him the clear chip leader.

River Saves Appleyard

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kevin Appleyard
Kevin Appleyard

Jack Sumner opened to 65,000 under-the-gun and Kevin Appleyard defended from the big blind.

The flop came out {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Appleyard bet 55,000 and Sumner called to see the {k-Hearts} on the turn.

Appleyard then shoved all in for around 400,000 and Sumner snap-called to put him at risk of elimination.

Kevin Appleyard: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Jack Sumner: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Appleyard needed some help to catch up to Sumner's aces, and the river blessed him with the {9-Spades} to give him a straight to win the pot.

Sumner shook his head in disgust as his chips were pushed to Appleyard for a double-up to 950,000 while he was left with 520,000.

Sumner Shoots to the Top

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jack Sumner
Jack Sumner

On a heads-up board of {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}, a massive pot was building between Jack Sumner and Ronald Slucker. It was Sumner's turn to act, and he pushed the rest of his stack of 420,000 into the pot of 600,000. Slucker then went deep into the tank to consider his options.

"I've got like 16 outs," he said after a minute or so of deliberation, alluding to the fact that he had the ace of spades in his hand.

"Ok, I call," Slucker said as he set out the chips and the card were then tabled, with Sumber at risk.

Jack Sumner: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Ronald Slucker: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Sumner was ahead with his pair of tens, but still needed to fade any spade that would give Slucker the win or a deuce for a chop.
Fortunately for him, the river came a brick {k-Clubs} and Sumner let out a huge sigh of relief as he was pushed the massive pot. Sumner started the day with only 185,000 and has now rocketed all the way up to 1,550,000.

Yuval Bronshtein

In a heads-up pot between Yuaval Bronshtein and Lan Vo, the flop read {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades} when Bronshtein slid 36,000 into the pot.

After at least three minutes of deliberation, Vo finally slid his cards into the muck, at which point Bronshtein showed {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a ten-high bluff.

"Gamble gamble!" he announced as he raked in the pot to put his stack over half a million.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Josh Wang
Josh Wang

Josh Wang opened to 22,000 and was then three-bet to 52,000 by Paul Chang.

After a few seconds, Wang then moved all in and Chang made the call, putting himself at risk.

Paul Chang: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Josh Wang: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Chang needed some help to catch up to Wan's pocket queens, but the board of {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail. Meanwhile, Wang was pushed the pot to rocket his stack up to 1,100,000 which is the current chip lead.

On a heads-up turn of {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades}, Greg Robinson bet 18,000 after it was checked to him but was then check-raised to 59,000 by his opponent Thomas Carroll.

After some thought, Robinson made the call and the duo saw the {7-Spades} fall on the river. Carroll then stood up to look at Robinson's stack before announcing a bet of 69,000.

Robinson then went into the tank for a good minute, at which point Carroll started talking,..

"Look ill make you a deal, you call, ill show you the nuts, if you fold, I'll show you a bluff," he told him, and soon after Robinson decided to toss his cards into the middle, to which Carroll did the same without showing.

Carroll was pushed the substantial pot to boost his stack to 470,000 while Robinson was left with 210,000.

Dustin Holladay
Dustin Holladay

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, Dustin Holladay got it all in against Bradley Beetz on a turn of {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, with Holladay at risk.

Dustin Holladay: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Bradley Beetz: {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Although Holladay had top pair of kings, he needed a lot of help to catch up to Beetz and his two-pair of deuces and fives.

The river came out the {3-Spades} which was of no help to Holladay and he was eliminated on the stone bubble, sending the rest of the players into the money.
