Filippi Raises the River

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Leonardo Palermo and Wilfredo Divio checked on a board of {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}. Amnon Filippi bet into a pot of around 50,000, both players called, and the {a-Diamonds} completed the board.

Palermo moved all in for 10,500, Divio called, and Filippi raised to 40,000. Divio quickly called.

Palermo: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Divio: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Filippi: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{x-Spades}{x-}

Filippi took half of both the side and main pots with a full house (he turned an ace-high flush as well), and Palermo took the low half of the main pot.

Joslyn's Heater

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Greg Joslyn is suddenly up to 170,000 chips after a sick heater, eliminating one opponent.

There was a three-way all in on a flop of {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Joslyn was trailing.

Joslyn: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Opponent 2: {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Despite an opponent flopping a set of fives, Joslyn ran him down as the turn and river came {7-Clubs}, {6-Clubs} respectively. The player with the set of fives was eliminated, and the other player who made a low was extinguished shortly thereafter.

More for Mucciaccio

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

C.J. Mucciaccio was faced with a bet of 12,000 on a flop of {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}, and raised the pot (38,500). His opponent moved all in, and Mucciaccio tank-called.

Mucciaccio: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The turn and river both produced clubs that paired the board - {4-Clubs} and {3-Clubs} respectively - and the player was eliminated. Mucciaccio is up to 230,000 chips.

Jinglin Chen was all in and at risk on a board of {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and in rough shape with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} against C.J. Mucciaccio's {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The river was a third heart - the {8-Hearts} - and Chen doubled to 95,000 chips.
