Truong Doubles Through Jattin

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Action was on a {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board with 58,000 chips in the middle. Farid Jattin was first to act and had bet enough to put opponent Tam Truong all in.

Truong tanked and eventually slid his chips into the middle to make the call.

Farid Jattin: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Tam Truong: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Jattin was playing the board, no mean feat in Pot Limit Omaha, and Truong took down the pot with his flush.

Two Big Stacks Meet

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Jorryt van Hoof was able to build his stack significantly as he joined the other two chip leaders on his table in Marc Rivera and Miroslav Sheynin. Cary Katz and Wilfried Harig were less fortunate and busted from the table.

Van Hoof defended his small blind against a raise by Sheynin and check-called a bet of 9,500 on the {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. They checked the {5-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} river, and Sheynin had the best hand in {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Wolff Doubles Through van Hoof

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The completed board showed {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}. A bet was in front of Jorryt van Hoof and George Wolff moved all in for little more, around 37,000 total. A sigh-call by van Hoof followed and Wolff tabled the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for queens full, van Hoof mucked instantly.

Rivera Felts Shak

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Dan Shak three-bet the pot to 42,000 and Marc Rivera made the all after he had clicked it up to 13,000 on the button. On the {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Shak bet 55,000 with very few chips behind and Rivera raised, Shak called all-in.

Dan Shak: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Marc Rivera: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Rivera's pair and flush draw was ahead and the {8-Diamonds} turn and {2-Diamonds} river run out failed to keep Shak in contention.
