Anastasio Catapults to the Top

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The turned board had {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} face up and three players were in the hand, Sal Anastasio and Corbin Avery included. All three elected to jam their stacks into the middle with Anastasio holding the biggest stack of the three.

Corbin Avery: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Sal Anastasio: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Anastasio was in the lead but needed to dodge in order to secure the pot and eliminate his opponent's. An {8-Hearts} is just the kind of card he was looking for as his set of sixes held on for the win, shipping his opponent's to the rail.

Aminoff Sends One Home with Bullets

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

The turned board showed {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and there was around 5,000 in the pot when Benjamin Aminoff bet 3,000. His opponent check-raised all in, totaling 24,000 and Aminoff hit the tank.

After a moment of thought, Aminoff called and his opponent tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair. Aminoff showed his {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, giving him an overpair of aces and the best hand.

An {a-Hearts} peeled off on the river, improving Aminoff's hand even further as he scooped in the pot and his opponent ducked out of the tournament.
