Riech Avoids Complete Meltdown

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ferenc Riech
Ferenc Riech

In the last hand of the previous level, Samuel Butters raised to 5,200 and Ferench Riech moved all in for his last 45,400. The German, who had started the day with the lead, dropped all the way down in just one level and was flipping for his tournament life with {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

Butters looked him up with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} but failed to deal the final blow with the board running out {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Tatjana Zizic also moved all in one table over for 48,700. The pot had grown to 40,000 to the flop {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and her opponent was not willing to call off after having bet 10,500.

Lee On The Climb

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Hon Cheong Lee started the day with 55,000, but has doubled up twice to a spot among the leaders heading into Level 14.

First he picked up two kings, filled up and got paid. The he defended his big blind against a raise with the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, leading into a {7-}{3-}{2-} rainbow flop. He got called and picked up an open-ender on the {10-} turn.

Another Lee bet got called, and when the river came the straight completing {j-}, Lee shipped. His opponent called off and mucked, leaving Lee with over 250,000 now.

Correa Gets Lucky

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Neil Correa had a huge kicker problem with his {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, as he got called by an opponent with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and the very last community card saved Correa from changing his plans for the rest of the day.

"This is Gonna Make PokerNews"

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Van Marcus joked "this is gonna make PokerNews" once the hand was over and Sammy Lucisano had doubled up in very fortunate fashion, as almost everybody could hear from his celebration. Lucisano had gotten his stack in with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} but picked the worst possible timing to do so, Qiang Fu snapped him off with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

However, lady luck smiled on Lucisano and brought the board {10-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} for a four-card flush.

Also on the up: Stevan Chew, who doubled up again.

Broadway for Rastogi

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Gerald Karlic mentioned that "this is the broadway table" and just now, Rahul Rastogi did so against Sargon Zindo. Zindo had turned top set but Rastogi made the straight and called a bet of 15,600 on the board {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

Scagnetti in Charge

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The latter knocked out Julius Colman with pocket aces versus pocket jacks and skyrocketed to more than a quarter million in chips.
