Guzzardi and Duong Clash

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Guzzardi defended his big blind against a small blind raise from Thanh Ha Duong and then the fireworks started.

The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Duong led out, Guzzardi raised, Duong re-raised and Guzzardi re-re-raised. By the time all that was done there was at least one million chips in the pot.

Duong stood out of his chair then folded, allowing Guzzardi to rake in the pot and push over the three-million mark.

Angeles Doubles

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Guzzardi pushed all in from the small blind and Bernardo Angeles called all in with {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Guzzardi had just {8-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Angeles doubled up after a {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board was revealed.

Moments later, Angeles was all in against Guzzardi again, but this time Guzzardi was way ahead with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} over {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. However, the {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} board forced a chopped pot, much to the delight of the Filipino crowd here in support of Angeles who roared after the river was revealed.

Another Chop!

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Thanh Ha Duong made it 100,000 from the small blind and Michael Guzzardi pushed all in.

Duong called it off with {k-Spades}{j-Spades} and Guzzardi was ahead holding {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. The {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop gave Duong a flush draw and the {10-Clubs} turn gave him some outs to chop.

Sure enough, the river came the {7-Hearts} putting a full house on the board and chopping the pot.

Duong Cracks Kings

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Guzzardi made it 80,000 from the button and Thanh Ha Duong raised it to 255,000. Guzzardi pushed in and Duong called it off with {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Guzzardi had {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and the title looked to be his as the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop rolled out. However, the {7-Diamonds} turn made Duong a boat and he floated off to double up land after the {6-Hearts} river.
