Leandro Pimentel Starts Pushing

Low on chips, Pimentel started moving in nearly every hand, and after pushing with {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} John Hurt called from the big blind with {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Hurt hit a pair on the {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop, but when the board paired with the {10-Diamonds} on the turn it gave Pimentel some extra outs. And that's what save Leandro -- the {K-Hearts} on the river counterfeited Hurt's pair and Pimentel's jack played.

Chandrasekhar Billavara Doubles Up

One advantage of aggressive play is that the other players don't know when you have a big hand. Taylor Douglas has been gobbling up the blinds and antes the last few orbits and when he raised on this particular occasion he held {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Billavara came over the top for all his chips holding {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Douglas quickly called.

And then all that aggressive play came for naught when the {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flopped. Douglas picked up a straight and flush draw when the {J-Hearts} turned, but the river brought the {2-Clubs} and Billavara doubled up.

John Hunt Doubles Up

After Chandrasekhar Billavara raised to 1 million, John Hunt moved in for the last of his chips. Billavara called with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Hunt held pocket fives. The {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop gave Hunt a set and though the {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Billarava a wheel draw, the {8-Hearts} on the river gave Hunt a full house and the pot.
