A Double and Two Bustouts

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Asi Moshe on the rise
Asi Moshe on the rise

Table 701 provided plenty of fireworks in consecutive hands and that resulted in one double, a split pot and two seat open.

First, Seth Berger open-shoved for his last 55,000 and Nicholas Manganaro reshoved in the small blind.

Berger tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Manganaro had the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} The board came {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Berger held up.

Pete Chen then raised to 18,000 and called the shove of Manganaro for his last 69,000 with {A-Spades}{4-Spades}. Manganaro had {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and the board of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} resulted in a split pot.

Then, Ernest Smith raised from the button and Asi Moshe defended the big blind. Moshe check-called a bet on the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and check-called the shove of Smith on the {8-Spades} turn. Smith flipped over {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Moshe had turned trips with {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}. The {3-Diamonds} river was a blank and Smith was gone in 39th place.

Soon after, Manganaro shoved for around 75,000 and Moshe isolated from the small blind by moving all in.

Nicholas Manganaro: {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Asi Moshe: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop gave Manganaro two pair and Moshe a flush draw, and he immediately got there on the {8-Hearts} turn. Any five or seven would save Manganaro, but the {9-Clubs} river was a brick.

Armstrong Takes from Zhang

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Chi Zhang raised to 17,000 from early position and picked up one caller in Jamie Armstrong in the cutoff. On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop, Zhang continued for 19,000 and Armstrong called before the {7-Clubs} turn slowed down both players and they checked.

The {10-Clubs} river completed the board and Zhang made it 70,000 to go. Armstrong called and Zhang showed {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but ended up second best to the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} of Armstrong.

The other two big stacks at the table are Sadan Turker and Joel Ettedgi.
