Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A huge hand just went down at Table 31 that certainly shook up the table dynamics.

Jean-Pascal Savard was enjoying a massage when he raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Shai Liu, perhaps steaming after doubling up Jason Les a short time earlier (at least that is how it could have been interpreted), then three-bet all in for 101,600 from the cutoff. Benjamin Pollak seemed suspicious and eyed up Liu before moving all in over the top from the button. The blinds both folded and then Savard surprised the entire table by snap-calling off for 105,900.

Savard:
Liu:
Pollak:

Liu actually held a legitimate hand, and his overbet would have worked against Pollak. Unfortunately for him, Savard held the granddaddy of all hands and scooped the pot after the board ran out a clean .

Pollak was crippled on the hand while Liu was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a board of we saw Dzmitry Urbanovich bet out 2,700 from the big blind. Tony Hachem was his opponent and the Australian pro made the call.

Urbanovich casually tossed in another 6,200 on the river. Hachem tanked long and hard, said multiple things we didn't really hear, and eventually called.

Urbanovich showed his like he had the nuts. Hachem was a bit confused for a fraction of a second, only to proudly show his after.

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It's been a fortuitous level for Jason Les, who began it with approximately 10,000 and now has five times that.

Les doubled straight away in Level 11, and he just notched another after getting it in as a huge underdog. It happened when Shao Liu raised to 4,000 from early position and Les three-bet jammed for 25,800 from the button. Both blinds folded and the Liu hit the tank until a clock was called, which inspired him to toss in the chips.

Les:
Liu:

Les was dominated and began to get out of his chair after the flop came down . However, the dealer then burned and turned the to give him a set. Les smiled and sat back down while the rest of the table reacted in shock.
