Diaz Takes Down Huge Pot After Flopping Trips

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Multiple players made it to the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop where the action checked to a player in the hijack who fired 4,000. Guillaume Diaz check-raised to 14,500, reducing the contest to heads up as only the hijack called.

Diaz fired 21,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn, earning another call and the {2-Diamonds} completed the board. Diaz slowed down, checking after the river filled the flush draw. The other player promptly checked back, tabling {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. That, however, wasn't enough to beat Diaz who had flopped trips with {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

"When You're Hot, You're Hot"

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Andrew Theakstone sits behind a castle of chips, possibly at the expense of Seth Davies, whose seat is now empty at that table. He continued to accumulate more ammo, too, as he raised to 4,000 out of the big blind over some limps. A player under the gun called and they checked down a board of {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades} until Theakstone bet 5,000 on the river. His opponent quickly folded and Theakstone revealed {q-}{q-}.

"When you're, hot, you're hot," he said simply.

It's not Theakstone's first hot run here as he got 16th in the Main Event last year.

Argyros on the Rise

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Billy Argyros was in position, facing a 4,500-bet from a player in the hijack on the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} turn. Argyros studied the board for quite some time and then matched the bid. The river fell {9-Clubs} and both players opted to check.

"I got a four," Argyros' opponent claimed, confirming it by showing {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

"Not good," Argyros replied, turning up {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Urbanovich Doubles

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante
Dzmitry Urbanovich
Dzmitry Urbanovich

Dzmitry Urbanovich opened for 1,300 under the gun and was three-bet on his direct left to 3,500. A player on the button cold-called and Urbanovich peeled for the {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop. He checked, his neighbor bet 3,500, the player on the button called, and Urbanovich shoved. It was 15,100, and the bettor called. The third player tanked awhile then flashed {k-}{q-} and folded.

Urbanovich: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

It was a great spot for Urbanovich, but he did have a few cards to fade after the {9-Clubs} turn. The river was a {9-Hearts} though, and he doubled through.

Barer Calls Twice then Folds

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Ami Barer was on the button facing a bet of 5,500 on a {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop from a player in middle position. Barer called, and a third player in the pot folded. Barer called 11,650 on the {j-Spades} turn. The river was a {9-Clubs} and the middle player shoved for about 20,000. Barer didn't need a count as he snap-folded.

Hartmann Falls to Farinas in a Cooler

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

The action was caught on the {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop where Miguel Farinas fired 2,500 from the big blind, getting a call from his left-hand neighbor. Pascal Hartmann raised to 8,500 from the cutoff and Farinas fired back, three-betting to 20,000. Action returned to Hartmann who pushed forward his 30,000 or so, and Farinas called right away.

Hartmann: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Farinas: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Hartmann trailed with his top pair, but he could pull ahead should another diamond hit the board. Both turn and river were, however, black cards, the {9-Clubs} and {6-Clubs}. Hartmann was eliminated while Farinas continued with roughly 90,000.

Tabb Doesn't Want to Show

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Steven Tabb fired 5,000 into 11,200 out of the small blind with {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} on the felt. His opponent called in the cutoff and they continued to the {8-Hearts} turn. Tabb threw in 6,600 and the other player figured out it was time to waive the white flag.

"Show the bluff," Josip Simunic, sitting at the table, demanded.

"I don't want to," Tabb replied, mucking his hand.

Davis Calls Twice and Loses

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

A player on the button opened for 1,200 and Seth Davies called in the small blind, as did the big blind. Action checked to the button on the {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop, and a bet of 1,800 hit the felt. Davies called and they went heads up tot he {9-Diamonds}. Davies check-called 3,500 and both players checked the {8-Clubs}.

The player on the button showed {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for second pair, but it was good as Davies flashed {j-}{10-}.

Hockin Shoves on Turn

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

With about 5,000 in the pot on a {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} turn, Paul Hockin checked from the big blind, allowing his opponent to fire 3,300 from the button. Hockin then check-shoved for just under 25,000 and the other player tanked for a while before determining the price too high.
