Tony Bechara doubles up again!

In late position Sam Khouiss raises to 4000 and gets called by the cutoff. Tony Bechara in the BB pushes all-in for 13200 more. After counting his chips and asking how much the cutoff has left (13800), Sam says he has to call. The cutoff folds and Tony is now in danger of bubbling!

Tony turns over {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} and Sam wishes him good luck as he turns over {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. The flop comes down {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} putting Tony in an excellent position to make it into the money. Sam now has only a backdoor flush draw with no repeater to have any hope of knocking Tony out. The turn is a {6-Clubs} which now means Sam cannot win the pot outright but has a chance of splitting the pot. A {4-Clubs} on the river fills Tony up and puts him on around 31000 in chips.

Paul "The Virus" Ravesi has been immunised!

Paul "The Virus" Ravesi pushes all-in 3rd UTG for 9900 and it gets folded round to Baden Logan in the BB. After thinking about it for awhile and seeing how many chips he would have left if he calls, Baden decides to call. Paul turns over {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and Baden shows {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}.

The flop comes {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} leaving Paul in a lot of trouble as Baden hits his set. The turn is a {7-Clubs} which fills Baden up and Paul now has 3 outs. He calls for an ace but a {10-Hearts} on the river means he's eliminated in 20th place. We're now on the bubble!

Tony Bechara doubles up!

Sam Khouiss in the cutoff makes a raise and is called by the button and Tony Bechara in the BB. Flop comes {7-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} and Tony checks to Sam who bets 2000. The button raises to 6000 and Tony moves all-in for an extra 3500. Sam folds his cards in disgust and after the button calls, Sam says he had AK. Tony then turns over {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} and the button shows {6-Spades} {6-Clubs}. The turn is a {9-Hearts} giving the button no chance of winning and a meaningless {K-Hearts} falls before the dealer pushes the chips to a relieved Tony Bechara. Sam mistakenly says he would've won when he saw the {K-Hearts} on the river before realising that Tony already had already filled up!

{9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} seems to be a winning hand today with Michael Tomeny having knocked out Billy The Croc earlier with the same hand! (see the in depth hand simulator to the right of screen to view the hand)
