Silvestri Doubles Through Crowe

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mario Silvestri opened shoved from early middle position and action folded all the way around to Owen Crowe in the big blind. Crowe called quickly.

Silvestri: {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Crowe: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} almost leaving Crowe drawing dead. When the {9-Diamonds} came on the turn, Crowe was dead and that guaranteed a double up for Silvestri. The river was a meaningless {7-Hearts} and with that, Crowe was forced to send over 237,000 chips to Silvestri.

Chris Karambinis got all in against Vincent Maglio preflop.

Karambinis: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Maglio: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

We appeared to be headed for a chop, but a {2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop gave Maglio a four-flush. The dealer wasted no time completing the draw, as an {8-Hearts} fell on the turn, eliminating Karambinis in 15th.

Kirill Rabstov opened the action by raising to 40,000 on the button. Vincent Maglio opted to reraise from the big blind to 79,000. Rabstov called.

The flop came down {2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Maglio led for 82,000. Rabstov called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {Q-Spades} on the river, where both players checked again.

Maglio showed {9-}{7-} for an air ball and Rabstov took down the pot with his {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens.

Mark Golub bet 122,000 into Josh Arieh after a {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. Arieh jammed for 211,000 more, and Golub made the call.

Golub: {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Arieh: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Arieh was in the lead, and both players added draws to their pairs when the {8-Diamonds} turned. The river was a {3-Spades}, leaving Arieh's jacks best and securing his double.

"Did you think I was trying to steal your money?" he asked Golub as he swept up the pot. Golub gave no response.
