Buckley Wins Flip Via Counterfeit

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante
Adrian Buckley, pictured at another event

Adrian Buckley opened from early position to 1,000 and was three-bet to 2,300 by Aaron Frei, who was on the button. The big blind four-bet to 10,000, leaving himself around 2,000 behind. Buckley five-bet to 23,000 and Frei got out of the way before the big blind put in his last few chips.

Adrian Buckley: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Big Blind: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The flop and turn came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and the big blind was in the process of getting out of his seat, despite still being ahead with his threes. Buckley jokingly mentioned something about it before predicting a ten would fall on the river.

The river did in fact fall {10-Clubs} and the player who had just been eliminated walked by Buckley with a smile on his face, congratulating him on the nice hand as he departed.

Wahdan Busts Tryba and Another

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Nader Wahdan
Nader Wahdan

According to a player at the table, Chris Tryba was recently eliminated by Nader Wahdan. Wahdan opened from middle position and Ryan Dodson called on the button. Tryba was down to his last 1,800 and shoved all in from the small blind. Wahdan isolated Dodson out of the pot and the two turned up their hands.

Chris Tryba: {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Nader Wahdan: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out clean for Wahdan and Tryba was sent back to his cabin.

While that hand was being recounted, another player on the table shoved all in on a flop of {8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Nader Wahdan immediately announced a call.

Upon calling, he said he flopped it and tabled {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The table confirmed that he probably could not have hit the flop any harder as his opponent tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

The turn came {a-Spades} to give the all-in player four outs to a full house, however the river fell {9-Clubs} and he was eliminated from the tournament.
