Zhang Shoves Into Leas

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Two Zhang's are on the feature table and one of them is Bobby Zhang, who defended his big blind with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against a button raise by David Leas, who held {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. On the {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds} turn, Zhang check-raised all in over a bet by Leas with his gutshot straight and flush draw, and that ultimately got Leas to fold his top pair.

Nino Marotta Eliminated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Nino Marotta shoved his last 124,000 from the cutoff and Toby Lewis called from the small blind.

Nino Marotta: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}
Toby Lewis: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

Marotta spiked a king on the {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop but needed more help if he was to survive. Neither {5-Hearts} turn nor {Q-Clubs} river improved him further and he bowed out in 41st place.

Engel Takes from Marotta, Chua Doubles Au

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Nino Marotta raised and then bet all three streets against Ari Engel with the board running out {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Once being called on the river, Marotta had to table {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a bluff and Engel claimed the pot with {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for jacks and nines.

Kim Au made it 28,000 to go from the cutoff and both Vincent Chua and James Broom in the blinds called. On the {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, both blinds checked to Au and his continuation bet worth 35,000 was called by Chua only. The {J-Spades} fell on the turn and Chua check-raised all in against a second barrel of 45,000 by Au, the instant call followed immediately.

Kim Au: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} - a set of sixes
Vincent Chua: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} - a gutshot straight draw

The {4-Hearts} river failed to improve Chua and Au doubled for 305,000.

Broom Picks Off Burns

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

James Broom raised to 23,000 from under the gun and Kahle Burns called one seat over. On the {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, Broom checked, Burns bet 23,000 and Broom called. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn.

On the {2-Clubs} river, Broom checked and Burns bet a hefty 90,000. Broom gave it some thought before flicking in a calling chip. Instantly, Burns gave him the thumbs up, indicating Broom was good, and showed {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Broom showed {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and collected the pot.

Solaas Forces Out Ruge

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} turn, Arne Ruge called a bet worth 58,000 by Espen Solaas and then faced another big bet of 135,000 on the {8-Clubs} river. Ruge took quite some time before folding and said "too much, I was gonna bluff you with the bottom of my range."

Chen An Lin
Chen An Lin

Najeem Ajez raised to 30,000, Chen Am Lin called on the button and Artur Koren called from the big blind. On the {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, it got checked to Lin who bet. Koren check-raised and then called Lin's push for 324,000 total.

Chen An Lin: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Artur Koren: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}

Despite not being active in the hand, Arif Mustafa was the most excited of the bunch and jumped out of his seat.

"All in!" he yelled while clapping in excitement. "They're big stacks too!"

Koren needed to hit one of his straight cards to win and added the eights and jacks on the {8-Hearts} turn. Neither of those outs appeared on the {3-Clubs} to give Lin a full double-up.

Mike Del Vecchio: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Anthony Hachem: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The flop was a good one for Hachem, coming {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river the {2-Diamonds} leaving both Hachem and his rail celebrating.
