Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 2♥4♥K♥, Pablo Brito Silva bet 3,000 from the hijack and Yucel Eminoglu then raised to 8,000 in the cutoff.

Brito Silva called to see the 3♦ turn, where Eminoglu continued for 14,000. Brito Silva laid down his hand this time.

"I flopped the nuts," Eminoglu said, showing Brito Silva his cards.

"Wrong color," Brito Silva replied as Eminoglu realized he had A♦J♦ instead of hearts.

"I thought I had the nuts. I wouldn't have raised you," Eminoglu said.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Conor Beresford and Justinas Jachimavicius were heads-up on a board of 10♠3♥4♥5♣ when Beresford led out for 4,500 from the big blind.

Jachimavicius then moved all in under the gun and Beresford called for his last 24,500. Jachimavicius turned over Q♦Q♥, while Beresford had 3♦2♦ and needed help.

"I need to stand up, right," Beresford said, rising from his seat to await the river which came the 2♣. Beresford improved to two pair and doubled up, leaving Jachimavicius riding an extreme short stack.
