Stout Takes From Bi

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Matt Stout
Matt Stout

Matt Stout (early position) fired a bet on the flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} and got called by Mingda Bi in the big blind. The turn brought the {4-Spades} making a flush possible and killed the action; it went check, check. The {5-Clubs} river was no help and it was checked down.

"King-high" said Bi. Stout tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and his small pair was good enough to take the pot.

Colache and Dunst Turn Over Monsters

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tony Dunst
Tony Dunst

The board showed {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and there was around 30,000 in the pot. Renata Colache bet 17,500 and Tony Dunst took a brief moment to think.

Ultimately Dunst elected to move all in and Colache snap-called for her 98,500 stack. Dunst tabled {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, giving him four ducks, what should have been more than enough to scoop any pot.

Colache smiled and slammed over {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a higher four of a kind, putting a face of disbelief on the face of Dunst as almost half his chips moved into the stack of Colache and her higher quads.

Price Doubles Through Patur

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jean Gaspard
Jean Gaspard

On a flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} Balakrish Patur (bb) checked, Jean "Prince" Gaspard tossed in two baby blues (10,000) and after taking a moment, Patur raised to 30,000. Gaspard jammed for 62,500 total and Patur snapped, tabling {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top/top with nut flush draw.

Gaspard was ahead with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair, but that changed when the {3-Clubs} came on the turn, giving Patur the flush. It appeared Gaspard's tenure in this event would come to an end, but the the miracle {5-Spades} came on the river, giving him the full boat and the double-up.
