Conan Hopes and Splits

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Marius Conan opened under the gun and moved all in after a three-bet from Ben Heath. The latter snap-called and the players revealed their cards:

Marius Conan: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Ben Heath: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, giving Conan hopes for the nut flush, but the rest of the board fell {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the players split.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Dimov checked and Buckley bet 435,000 to force a quick fold from Dimov.

Denys Shafikov
Denys Shafikov

Shafikov, with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, was in desperate shape for a double up, but found no help though a board {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} and made his way to the cashier.

Split Pots

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On a first hand, the flop showed {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} when Denys Shafikov moved all in from the small blind and Upeshka De Silva called in the big blind.

Holding {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Shafikov had outs to double up, facing {a-Spades}{8-Hearts} in De Silva's hand with a pair of eights. Shafikov found a double pair with the {4-Hearts} on the turn but the river {6-Spades} gave a straight to both players and the dealer split the pot.

A few hands later, John Juanda with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} was facing Pedro Marques with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and the pot was split after the board fell {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}.
