With the board showing {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades}, Sameer Batra made a 22,500 bet and received two callers. He turned over his cards, proclaiming "the nuts", showing {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. One of his opponent shows his {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Batra smiled and said "I should have bet more."

Batra is up to 300,000 in chips after that pot.

Moorhead Busts Another

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

A short-stacked player moved all in from early position, Chris Moorhead re-shoved on his direct left, and the rest of the players folded.

Moorhead: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The all-in player was in rough shape, the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop didn't change much, and he was drawing dead when the {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The {k-Clubs} on the river was but a formality, and the player was eliminated.

Moorhead chipped up to 160,000.

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Papa Levy in the Seniors NLHE tournament earlier this week

With 60,000 in the pot, Papa Levy placed out a 20,000 chip bet on the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} board. His opponent,a young lady in the four seat, check-called his wager.

The river was the {K-Clubs} completing the flush draw and Levy's opponent sprang into action by placing a 25,000 chip bet. Levy didn't think long before folding. He's still sitting with a healthy stack of 195,000 after losing that pot.

MAArino

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player raised to 17,500 in early position, Nick Marino put in a three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and the original raiser moved all in for around 120,000 or so. Marino snap-called.

Marino called so fast, that when he turned over his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, the dealer asked him whether or not he had indeed called.

The original raiser revealed a lesser pair - {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} - and the aces held up on a board of {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Papa Loses Another

Daniel Brits moved all in for 81,700 on a completed board of {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and his opponent, Papa Levy, went into the tank.

When Levy emerged, he made the call, and mucked when Brits tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for a pair of aces.

"I had kings," Levy announced, cutting out the necessary chips to call the bet.

Brits doubled through, and now has 200,000 chips, while Levy plummeted to 70,000.

Hall Good

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player open-shoved for around 11,000 in early position, a second player called, a third player re-shoved for around 100,000, and John Hall called, having all parties covered. The player who flatted the initial shove, folded.

Original All-In Player: {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Re-Shover: {a-}{k-}
Hall: {10-}{10-}

The tens held up, and Hall recorded a double knockout to push his stack to over 300,000 chips.
