David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nils Veipans raised to 13,000 under the gun as action folded to Vladyslav Sidikhin on the button. "Twenty million," he said as he moved all in for 20,000. Jose Peris Ania called in the big blind.

"Is that in Euros," Veipans joked with Sidikhin as he also called.

"Just chips," Sidikhin replied.

The flop came K♦3♦2♣ and Veipans bet 15,000. Ania called and the 6♠ fell on the turn. Veipans then bet 23,000 and Ania again called.

The river was the J♣ and Veipans bet another 33,000. Ania folded this time.

"You win," Sidikhin said, showing A♥4♣ for ace-high. Veipans slammed down Q♦6♦ for a pair of sixes as he scooped the entire pot.

Dan O'Hair

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dave Stann and Alon Journo were heads-up on a flop of J♠5♠J♦. Stann was in the big blind and check-called an 11,000 bet from Journo, who was on the button.

The K♠ fell on the turn and Stann check-called a 12,000 bet from Journo.

Both players checked after the 4♦ completed the board and Stann turned over K♦Q♥ for king-up.

Journo rapped the table and sent his hand into the muck. Stann, who started the day with just over 30,000, has chipped up nicely and currently sits with approximately 140,000.
