Donovan Flops The World

Level 29 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with just over 800,000 in the middle on a board showing {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Cliff Ziff checked from the big blind to Zachary Donovan on the button who bet out 400,000. Ziff tossed in the chips for the call and the pair saw the {10-Spades} river.

Ziff elected to lead out for 400,000 and Donovan quickly made the call. Ziff rolled over {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for the missed straight draw and Donovan scored the pot with {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for top pair.

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Rossitto slowed down with a check and Ziff took the opportunity with a bet of 300,000. Rossitto quickly mucked his hand and the pot was sent to Ziff.

Ingles Gets the Best of Sued

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Pedro Ingles raised to 275,000 on the button and was called by Kharlin Sued and Mark Zajdner in the blinds. The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Ingles continued with a bet of 400,000 which only Sued called.

The {q-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and Sued checked again. Ingles cut out a bet of 1,175,000 and Sued stuck around for the {8-Hearts} on the river. Sued checked for the third time and Ingles gave it some thought but checked it back.

Sued turned over {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a missed flush draw while Ingles held {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for two pair.

Esposito Calls It Off For Tournament Life

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with close to 1,200,000 in the middle on a board showing {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, Kharlin Sued checked from the big blind to Andrew Esposito in the hijack who bet 475,000.

Sued announced all in, covering the 2,500,000 behind for Esposito, who looked back at his cards before eventually sliding his chips forward for the call.

Andrew Esposito: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Kharlin Sued: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Esposito was in great shape with his cowboys against the top pair for Sued and when the river fell the {6-Diamonds}, Esposito locked up the hand and full double up off Sued.
