"Eeehjaaah!"

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Philipp Gruissem opened for 7,500 from the button and Erik Seidel in the big blind was the sole caller.

Seidel check called a bet of 10,000 on {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and another 25,000 on the {2-Clubs} turn.

The {K-Clubs} completed the board and Seidel checked a third time. Gruissem thought about it for some time before eventually checking behind.

Seidel showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the flopped pair of sixes backing into the nut flush. "Eeehjaaah!" Gruissem said with a disappointing voice, before releasing his hand into the muck.

Quan Zhou - Daniel Colman
Quan Zhou - Daniel Colman

Phil Ivey came along from the big blind came as well, and the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Last year's winner, Colman, bet 8,000 after he was checked to. Ivey folded, and Zhou made the call. Colman had under 50,000 behind.

The {8-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Zhou check-called a bet of 13,000 to see the {8} pair the board on the river. Zhou checked a third time, and Colman didn't hesitate too long before he announced that he was all in for 33,800. Zhou thought for some time, showed the {J-Diamonds}, and tanked some more. He eventually folded, showing his other card, the {J-Clubs}, in the process, and Colman smiled and showed the {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a complete bluff.

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The turn was the {2-Spades} to put trips on the board, and both players checked to see the {K-Diamonds} land on the river. Again, both checked.
