Lucky River Sends Le to the Rail

Will Shillibier

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Khanh Le was stood up in disbelief after being eliminated from the APO Main Event by Laurence Hall.

Le had held K♣K♠ against the K♦J♣ of Hall, but the A♠10♠8♥2♣Q♠ board saw Hall river a straight to send him to the rail.

"Better to be lucky than good!" said Hall and he took down the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Higor Seibel opened to 12,000 and was called by Jason Pritchard.

Pritchard check-called 12,000 on the 10♦9♣5♠ flop and the pari checked down the 5♥J♣ runout.

"Nine," announced Pritchard.

"I win," said Seibel, tabling Q♣9♠

"Jeez, you are running hot," said Pritchard flashing a 9♥

"Don't you ever get tired of winning?" David Sebesfi asked Seibel.

"Might go for a sesh in the gym," replied Seibel who now sits with over two million chips.

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Georgina Vuksanovic opened from the cutoff to 16,000 and was called by Laurence Hall on the button.

Martin Finger then three-bet all in from the big blind for 372,000. Vuksanovic announced call and Hall tanked before eventually folding.

Martin Finger: A♣Q♦ All in
Georgina Vuksanovic: 10♥10♣

"I folded nines," said Hall.

The K♣9♠9♦ flop changed nothing, but the A♦ turn boosting Finger's hopes of staying alive.

The flop would have given Hall quads, but there was an uproar of laughter as the river came the 9♥, with quad nines now impossible.

Even Vuksanovic, who was filming the hand, couldn't help but join in the laughter as a sheepish Hall rejoined the table.

"Liar, liar pants on fire!" said Dylan Wayne.

"It might have been eights," said Hall, rejoining the table.

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lauchlan Swann attempted to open from early position but it was called a limp. Jim Pizanias and Victor Dai both called.

"I'll raise and help you out," Marcial Dias said before looking at his cards and shoving for 200,000. Swann then re-raised all in for 590,000 and both other players folded.

Marcial Dias: 8♦8♣ All in
Lauchlan Swann: K♦K♥

Swann flopped a full house on the 4♣4♥K♣ flop, but player chatter fell silent after the 8♥ came on the turn. Dias could hit the last eight in the deck to stay alive but the river was the 6♥ and he was eliminated.
