Jaka Leaking Chips

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi checked to Faraz Jaka on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Jaka fired 14,000, and Shakerchi made the call.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, Shakerchi checked again, and Jaka tossed out another 27,000. Shakerchi called.

The {a-Spades} completed the board, and Shakerchi checked a third time. Jaka slid forward a tower of blue T5,000 chips, making it 80,000 to go, and Shakerchi shrugged before calling.

Jaka instantly flung his cards into the muck, and Shakerchi slid his cards forward, taking down the pot without a showdown.

Coren-ation

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

Robert Haigh raised to 10,000 preflop and Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren made the call. Steven Silverman moved all in for about 130,000 from middle position and Haigh quickly pushed too. Coren checked the two shorter stacks out then decided to call.

Haigh: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Coren: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Silverman: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The flop came {J-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Coren moved into the lead, Silverman picked up a flush draw while Haigh had just a single out. The {5-Spades} on the turn gave Silverman a wheel draw too. The {5-Diamonds} paired the river and Coren won the whole pot knocking out both players and left us with 21 remaining.

Watson Wins Intriguing Pot

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

Nicolas Levi raised to 10,500 preflop and was called by Davidi Kitai before Mike Watson made it 32,500 from the cutoff. Anaras Alekberovas then four-bet to 57,000 from the big blind, the Frenchman and the Belgian folded but Watson called with about 170,000 behind.

The flop was {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Alekberovas bet an intriguingly small 15,000. Watson tanked then made an equally small raise to 50,000 - this, however, was enough to get the Lithuanian to fold.
