Hecklen Doubles Again in Massive Cooler

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Henrik Hecklen
Henrik Hecklen

Shortly after hitting a miracle two-outer on the river to stay alive, Henrik Hecklen was all in again for 370,000 and up against Kent Staahle.

Henrik Hecklen: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Kent Staahle: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

There would be no miracles for Staahle as the board came {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to keep Hecklen's aces in the lead. After coming back from the break with 123,000, Hecklen is now above 700,000 just 10 minutes into the level.

Watson Stays Alive

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Phua raised to 20,000 from the hijack and was called by Timothy Adams and Neymar. In the big blind, Mike Watson shoved for 107,000 and only Phua called.

Mike Watson: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Paul Phua: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop gave Phua a pair of kings and the lead, but Watson spiked the {a-Spades} on the turn to make two pair. The river came the {7-Spades} and Watson doubled up.

"I might have wanted some overcalls after all that," Watson said as he dragged in the pot.

Heath Wins Massive Pot; Lefrancois Eliminated

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ben Heath
Ben Heath

Ben Heath opened the action from early position and was called by David Peters on the button, Pascal Lefrancois in the small blind and Pedro Garagnani in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Lefrancois and Garagnani checked to Heath who continued for 23,000. Peters got out of the way and Lefrancois and Garagnani came along.

On the {4-Spades} turn the blinds checked again and Heath sized up to 108,000. Lefrancois took a moment before moving all in for roughly 400,000. Garagnani folded and Heath rechecked his cards before making the snap-call.

Lefrancois rolled over {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight and flush draw and Heath revealed {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top two pair. The river peeled off the {10-Spades}, which at first looked good for Lefrancois, but made Heath a full-house and sent the Canadian to the rail.

Watson Outraces Neymar for Another Double

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Neymar opened to 25,000 from early position before Mike Watson shoved again in the cutoff, this time for 260,000. Neymar asked for a count and cut out the chips before calling.

Mike Watson: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Neymar: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Neymar didn't get any help on the {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Spades} board, while the {j-Spades} on the river improved Watson to a full house and another double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Artur Martirosian
Artur Martirosian

Pedro Garagnani raised to 22,000 from under the gun and was called by Ben Heath. Artur Martirosian then made it 125,000 from the small blind and only Garagnani called.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} and Martirosian continued for 55,000. Garagnani called as the turn came the {9-Clubs}.

Martirosian bet another 125,000 and Garagnani went into his time bank cards before folding.

A hand earlier, Martirosian had busted Steve O'Dwyer holding {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on a board of {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. O'Dwyer had around 170,000 remaining and showed {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} before making his exit.

Mike Watson
Mike Watson

The action was picked up on the river in a pot of roughly 120,000 on a board of {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Santhosh Suvarna bet out 70,000 from the big blind into Mike Watson in early position.

After a time bank card was used, Watson cut out a raise to 330,000. Suvarna went deep in the tank, thinking for several minutes, but eventually tossed in a chip for the call. Watson rolled over {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush and Suvarna mucked, sending another big pot to Watson.

Thorel Shows Neymar a Red Card

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Neymar
Neymar

Neymar raised to 23,000 from early position and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel on the button.

The flop came {5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Neymar checked to Thorel who bet 10,000. Neymar raised to 50,000 and Thorel called to see the {10-Diamonds} on the turn.

Neymar again checked and Thorel bet 50,000. Neymar raised all in and Thorel called for 235,000, showing {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for top two pair. Neymar had {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a pair of aces and needed to improve.

The river came the {q-Spades} and Thorel's two pair stayed ahead. The stacks were counted down and Thorel barely had Neymar covered, sending the Brazilian soccer star to the rail.
