Zaman Over a Million

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Shannon Shorr opened to 60,000 first-to-act and was called by Malik Zama on the button and both players in the blinds.

The flop came {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and everyone checked to Zama, who fired 150,000 into the middle. Everyone folded and Zama dragged the pot.

Davies Sweeps With Set of Aces

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Scott Davies
Scott Davies

Three players were in for 130,000 a piece preflop, including John Roveto in the cutoff, Scott Davies in the small blind, and Jacob Rich, who was all in, from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Davies checked to Roveto, who stuck in enough chips to put Davies all in for his last 230,000. Davies called instantly and hands were tabled.

Davies: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Roveto: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Rich: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Davies was well out in front, but would need to fade diamonds or runner-runner to survive.

The {k-Hearts} turn gave Rich a tiny glimmer of hope, but the {10-Clubs} river kept Davies out in front and he scooped the sizable pot.

Knafo Goes Runner-Runner to Double Through Rocco

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Albert Knafo
Albert Knafo

Michael Rocco opened to 48,000 from under-the-gun, and directly behind him, Albert Knafo three-bet to 130,000. Action folded back around to Rocco, who called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Rocco checked to Knafo, who continued for 83,000. Rocco then check-raised to 200,000. Undeterred, Knafo announced he was all in for about 500,000. Rocco snap-called and hands were revealed.

Knafo: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Rocco: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

It was a stone bluff from Knafo, and he would need serious help to avoid elimination.

...but help did come — in the form of the {3-Diamonds} and the {j-Diamonds} on the turn and river respectively to give Knafo a runner-runner flush.

"I'm sorry, you're too good!" Knafo said as he collected the pot.

Dentale Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player on the button went all in for about 300,000 and Mike Dentale also went all-in for 265,000 from the small blind after some thought. The player in the big folded and hands were revealed.

Dentale: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Button: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Dentale was slightly behind, but the {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} flop vaulted him into the lead with a pair of kings.

The {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river changed nothing and Dentale doubled though.

John Roveto
John Roveto

John Roveto opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by Andrew Cooper in the cutoff. The player on the button then slid out two lavender stacks for a three-bet to 180,000. Action folded back to Roveto, who went all-in for about 500,000. Cooper folded, as did the three-bettor, and Roveto scooped the pot.
