Dunleavy Celebrates Too Soon as Simpson Triples on the River

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Ian Simpson moved all in for 15,500 under the gun and Michael Dunleavy called. Brandon Sheils then reshoved for 51,500 in the small blind and Dunleavy called, having both players covered.

Ian Simpson: 55
Brandon Sheils: AK
Michael Dunleavy: AK

The flop came 7Q6 and Dunleavy picked up a flush draw. "Oh no," Simpson said, standing up from his seat and filming the action.

The turn was the 7 and Dunleavy shouted out "yes" and jumped out of his seat.

"Seven or a five," Simpson reminded him, pointing out that he still had some outs. The river came the 7 and Simpson hit one of his miracle outs, filling up on the river to triple up while Dunleavy sent Sheils to the rail in the side pot.

Ephremsen Busts Littlewood in Biggest Pot of the Day

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Keith Littlewood
Keith Littlewood

Around 70,000 was already in the middle as Keith Littlewood and Paul Ephremsen went to the flop of 8108.

Littlewood then bet 50,000 in the cutoff and Ephremsen moved all in from the small blind. Littlewood quickly called.

Keith Littlewood: A10
Paul Ephremsen: QQ

Littlewood had flopped two pair, but he was behind Ephremsen's queens as the board ran out 65.

The stacks were counted down and Littlewood had 170,000 remaining. Ephremsen barely had him covered and took the more than 300,000 chip pot as he became the clear chip leader late on Day 1b.

Liperis Leaves Davenport Fuming

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Yiannis Liperis raised to 5,500 in middle position, Matt Davenport three-bet to 23,000 in the small blind, and Liperis called.

The flop came 6A7 and Davenport continued for 17,000. Liperis called and the 5 fell on the turn.

Davenport then checked over to Liperis, who fired out an additional 17,000. Davenport called to see the 10 river.

Liperis then slid forward his entire stack and Davenport snap-called. Liperis showed 98 for the turned straight and Davenport angrily threw his cards into the middle of the table.

Davenport got up to leave, but a count of the chips showed he had Liperis' 90,000 covered by about 10,000.
