"The flop went check, check, he bet the turn and jammed the river," Rene Majed said to recall the action throughout the hand as his stack was counted for a double-up against Ashley Timms.

On a board of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, Timms had made his move out of the big blind with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Majed's call for the last 29,900 with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} prevailed. One hand later, Timms departed for the rest of it while Alessandro Crisafulli won the entire pot including larger side pot versus Manuel Bellerin Jimenez.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Warren Aspey
Warren Aspey

The stack of Samantha Abernathy had taken an early hit and Warren Aspey was not only kind enough to provide the action but also took a picture of the cards and board as well.

It was Aspey who had scored a full double with his "favourite hand" {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} when he flopped a pair and turned a flush draw on {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. That's when the chips went in as Abernathy called with the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. The {k-Diamonds} fell on the river and Aspey improved to a flush.

Next to Aspey is one of the current big stacks in Jose Manuel Gonzalez.
