Fadersen Falling

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The hand was caught with a flop showing {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Dejan Divkovic checked as Michael Federsen bet out 70,000 in chips. David Campion made the call from late position as Divkovic got out of the way. The {K-Spades} came on the turn, and Fadersen check-called a 100,000 chip bet. When the river brought the {6-Spades}, Federson checked, as Campion threw out another 100,000 chip bet. Federsen snap-called and instantly tabled his {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for what he thought was the best hand. Campion casually turned over his {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for the best hand, but to the disappointment of Fadersen.

Monster Pot

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The rich get richer. Dejan Divkovic is sitting on a stack just short of 4 million in chips after clashing with the second biggest stack on the table, belonging to Gary Benson.

The hand started with Divkovic opening to 40,000 from the hijack. Benson called from the big blind as both players saw the flop come {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Benson checked before Divkovic threw out a 45,000 continuation bet. Benson then re-raised to 125,000, which was met with another re-raise to 207,000 in chips. Benson called as the {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn. Benson once again checked, as Divkovic threw out another bet, totalling 219,000 in chips. The bet was called as the {J-Clubs} completed the board. Benson this time led out for 250,000 in chips and was met with a quick all in call from Divkovic, for 2,400,000 in chip. Benson tanked for a minute before folding his cards.

“One for the rail,” yelled a spectator observing the play.

As requested, Divkovic tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a bluff as the crowd erupted at what they saw. Benson was in shock, as he stood up from the table to receive some comfort from his rail.
