Burns Among Bigger Stacks

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

In a battle cutoff versus button, the flop showed {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Simon Burns made it 2,500 to go. The button called and the {9-Spades} turn was checked through, as was the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Burns tabled the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and that was good enough to rake in the pot. Further assorted counts can be found below.

Savva Eliminated After Rollercoaster of All Rollercoasters

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was a commotion coming from Table 48 with an all-in in progress between Natasha Savva and Zachary Tay.

Natasha Savva: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Zachary Tay: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Savva needed to catch up, but the {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop had given her opponent a set. The table erupted as the {j-Hearts} came on the turn, giving Savva a straight.

However, the {2-Hearts} came on the river and the table erupted again as Tay rivered a backdoor flush to send Savva to the rail.

She magnanimously shook the hands of everyone at the table, even Tay, before exiting the tournament area.

Obara's Overbet Does the Trick

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Jun Obara
Jun Obara

Action was on a {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board and one player had checked to Jun Obara, who bet 18,125 into a pot of just 6,000.

His opponent was contemplating his decision, asking exactly how much the bet was and how much Obara had behind. Eventually, he called and Obara opened {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for a set.

His opponent flashed {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Obara took down the pot.
