Haidary Doubles Through Costa

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Just after coming back from the break, a three-way pot emerged on the flop {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Peter Costa bet 64,000 and Roger Swolf folded, Mostafa Haidary raised the pot to put himself at risk for 222,000. Costa called and both players had flopped the straight, though Haidary had some outs to win the pot entirely.

Haidary: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Costa: {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

"Just pair up the board!" Haidary demanded from the dealer and got his wish granted with the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. A now meaningless {4-Diamonds} river completed the board and Haidary doubled up.

Yuki Ko raised to 42,000 and Andrian Chin called all in for his last 18,000, Mostafa Haidary called in the big blind. On the flop {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Haidary bet the pot for 108,000 to isolate successfully.

Chin: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a pair of deuces and open-ended straight draw
Haidary: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens, gutshot and flush draw

The {A-Hearts} on the turn improved Haidary to a flush, but Chin made a full house with the {A-Diamonds} river to triple up.

One hand later, Chin was all in again and Ko looked him up out of the big blind.

Chin: {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Ko: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}

On the flop {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Ko took the lead with a pair of fours. The {10-Hearts} turn changed nothing for Chin, Ko had even picked up a flush draw as well. A blank {4-Spades} river sent Chin to the rail in 6th place and he picked up a payday of A$11,675.

Chin: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board rolled out {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Haidary flopped a straight, held and doubled. Chin was left with just a few chips and his chair.

Costa Extends Lead

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Two hands between Peter Coats and Ilias Sagias ended up pretty much even before Sagias opened from the button to 32,000. Costa called in the big blind and checked the flop {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}. Sagias checked behind and then bet 31,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn when Costa had checked to him.

Costa called and both players checked the {6-Spades} river. The Brit showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the pair of kings indeed won the pot.

One hand later, Sagias raised to what looked like 30,000 and picked up two callers in Roger Swolf and Mostafa Haidary. The flop {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} saw Swolf with a bet of 30,000 and that scooped the pot without further resistance.

Swolf's Trips Not Good Enough

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Roger Swolf raised to 20,000 and was called by Ilias Sagias on the button as well as Peter Costa in the big blind. On the flop {4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Costa bet 25,000 and Swolf called, Sagias quickly folded. The {8-Diamonds} turn resulted in a second bet worth 35,000 by Costa and Swolf called before the Brit made it 40,000 to go on the {8-Clubs} river.

Swolf cut out a raise to 150,000 and Costa was struck for a moment. "Jacks full?" he asked his opponent, cut out the chips for the call and stood up to study the board and Swolf. Costa eventually called and it was a good one.

Swolf: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for trips eights
Costa: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a full house, sixes over eights.
