Sengphet Over Anderson

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
La Sengphet
La Sengphet

From the cutoff seat, James Anderson raised to 23,000. La Sengphet made the call from the big blind and the flop came down monotone with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} falling. Sengphet checked and Anderson bet 29,000. Sengphet made the call.

The turn card was the {5-Hearts} to put another heart on board. Both players opted to check and see the {10-Diamonds} pair the board on the river for free. Sengphet checked and Anderson fired 66,000. After a minute or so in the tank, Sengphet made the call. We couldn't see Anderson's holding, but the tournament announcer mentioned that both players had flopped a flush. Sengphet held the nut variety though with the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and won the hand to increase her chip lead.

One for Barnhart

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

La Sengphet entered the pot from the button for 26,000 with Sam Barnhart making the call from out of the small blind.

Both players checked the {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop to see the {J-Diamonds} fall on the turn and Barnhart push out 50,000. Sengphet mucked and the pot was pushed to Barnhart.

Turn Shove for Evans

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Josh Evans opened from first to act for 26,000 with Sam Barnhart making the call from the button to see a {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked to see the {5-Spades} land on the turn and Evans tapping the table once again. Barnhart pushed out a bet of 30,000 only to have Evans check-raise all in.

Barnhart deliberated for a few minutes before eventually releasing his hand.

Sengphet Can't Hit the Broad Side of a Barnhart

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Barnhart's jacks hold
Barnhart's jacks hold

From under the gun, Sam Barnhart raised to 40,000. La Sengphet reraised from the big blind and then Barnhart moved all in. Sengphet quickly called. The reraise amount was unknown as it wasn't announced with the action progressing so quickly. Barnhart tabled the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Sengphet the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop, turn and river were run out {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Barnhart doubled up. He was all in for 314,000 and now has 638,000 in chips. That's good enough to give him the chip lead as he overtakes Sengphet with the double through her. She was left with about 375,000 in chips.

Delayed C-Bet for Poche

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Poche raised from the cutoff seat to 29,000. With the new chip lead, Sam Barnhart called from the big blind and the two took a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Both players checked and the {2-Hearts} fell on the turn. Barnhart checked and Poche fired 36,000. Barnhart folded and Poche won the hand.

Sengphet Pressured

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After La Sengphet raised to 26,000 from the button, James Anderson shoved all in from the big blind. Sengphet folded and Anderson won the pot.

"It's OK, La La!" yelled out one of Sengphet's railbirds in encouragement. She's slipped back to the middle of the pack and looks to have the wind taken from her sails for the time being. An orange juice and a kiss from her boyfriend on the rail will look to turn that around.

Sengphet Gets One Back

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jonathan Poche raised from the button to 29,000 and La Sengphet called from the big blind to see a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Sengphet checked and Poche bet 38,000. Sengphet made the call.

The {4-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and both players checked to see the {K-Hearts} fall on the river. The river completed the board with the {K-Hearts} and Sengphet bet 83,000. Poche gave it up and Sengphet won the pot.

That orange juice and kiss from her boyfriend must have helped.

Fives Enough for Evans

Sam Barnhart entered the pot from the cutoff with a raise only to have Josh Evans move all in for 218,000 from the big blind. Barnhart made the call and we were off to the races!

Evans: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Barnhart: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop kept Evans in the lead, but when the {10-Hearts} fell on the turn, he would need to fade an additional three outs to counter-feit.

Fortunately for Evans, the river landed the {5-Diamonds} to ensure him the double to 455,000 as Barnhart lost about a third of his stack.
