Leon Louis
Leon Louis

Gareth Smith was all-in for a mere 9,000 and Danh Cong Tran called in the small blind.

Gareth Smith: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Danh Cong Tran: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Smith was with one foot out of the door already but the board came {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts} to secure his double.

Shortly after, Smith raised to 1,600 and called the shove of Leon Louis for 10,600.

Leon Louis: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gareth Smith: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

On a board of {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} the pocket pair held up and Louis was gone.

Gareth Smith raised to 1,500 and Kfir Ivgi called. Danh Cong Tran jammed for 17,800 and Smith went all in over the top to force a fold from Ivgi. "I had eight-nine suited," Ivgi said in table chat.

Gareth Smith: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

On a board of {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Tran flopped top pair and avoided a runner-runner debacle.

Serkan Ersoy

There were already more than 50,000 in the middle and the turn showed {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}. Serkan Ersoy moved all in for 63,200 and Gary Miller used one time bank before making the call.

Serkan Ersoy: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Gary Miller: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds} river was a blank and Ersoy went from well-above the average to the rail.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
