Crilly Doubles Through Tran

Dan O'Hair

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

Trung Hieu Tran opened on the button and Lachlan Crilly shoved for his last 87,000 from the small blind. Tran quickly called to put Crilly at risk and a showdown was held.

Lachlan Crilly: A♥4♠ All in
Trung Hieu Tran: K♦Q♠

Crilly held a slight lead with his ace, and the 9♣8♠9♥10♠7♥ runout kept him best for the double up.

At another table, David Pham won a massive pot after getting all in with kings against aces and making a straight.

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

There were around 100,000 in the middle on a flop of 2♣3♦8♣ where Kahle Burns checked from the small blind and Shayne Le Roy fired 55,000 from under the gun. Burns called.

A 6♥ on the turn went check-check and the 5♠ landed on the river. Burns reached for the orange chips, worth 25,000 each, and threw five of them into the pot for a bet of 125,000. Within a second, Le Roy called.

Burns then flipped a set with 6♦6♠, and Le Roy quickly mucked.

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

Action folded around to the blinds, where Johan Lees shoved for his last 76,000. Timon Prill took a peek at his hole cards in the big blind and looked a big pained, but stuck in a call to put Lees at risk.

Johan Lees: A♦8♥ All in
Travis Endersby: Q♠7♣

The board ran out 8♣5♦7♦2♦10♠ — improving both players to a pair but leaving Lees best with eights to award him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Travis Endersby	1,100,000 625,000	625,000

Demlakian Trips Liu Out

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

Ling Liu had already shoved for her last 81,000 from the small blind and was called by Ken Demlakian, who was in middle position.

Ling Liu: A♦K♦ All in
Ken Demlakian: K♥10♠

Liu was in good shape to double up with Big Slick, but the 10♦3♣10♥ flop improved Demlakian to trips to leave Liu drawing nearly dead.

The 8♥ turn sealed the deal, and an irrelevant 5♣ made Liu's elimination official.

Prill Shows a Bluff

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Timon Prill and Yuanting Wang were heads up on a board of 7♠4♦J♦Q♠ with around 300,000 already in the middle.

Prill bet 75,000 from the big blind and Wang called.

The 9♥ completed the board and Prill announced he was all in for a bit over 500,000, sending Wang deep into the tank.

Wang struggled over his decision for a couple of minutes, but eventually flung his hand into the muck. Prill immediately turned over 6♣5♠ for a busted straight draw and Wang could only shake his head in disbelief.

Timon Prill	1,050,000 330,000	330,000
