Ryan Lashmar

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♣7♣7♥6♦5♥ and a bit over 150,000 in the middle Adrian State bet 70,000 from the hijack and Umberto Ruggeri, who had 73,000 behind, moved all in. State called off for 3,000 more.

State had a small two pair with 3♣3♥ while Ruggeri turned over a bigger two pair with J♠10♦ to secure a full double up while State was left with just half of a big blind and busted shortly afterwards.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Calvin Anderson opened 8,000 under the gun and after eying his stack, Ren Lin flatted on the button. Markkos Ladev jammed all-in from the small blind, forcing Anderson to fold quickly and Lin snap-called his stack of about 170,000.

"Oh no, you trapped me?" Asked Ladev.

"Yes," Lin responded with a chuckle as he rolled his hand.

Ren Lin: A♠A♦ All in
Markkos Ladev: A♣5♣

Ladev continued, "That was the perfect trap. I didn't expect that."

The Q♠J♣4♣ flop gave Ladev a flush draw, and the 9♣ turn left Lin drawing dead. The 5♠ completed the board and Lin stood up as he said, "Let me get a photo for my boss. It's hard to get aces."

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lucas Silva Rocha raised to 8,000 under the gun before Eric Geraume moved all in for 50,000 in the hijack. Nick Palma reshoved in the big blind and Silva Rocha got out of the way.

Eric Geraume: A♣K♣ All in
Nick Palma: A♥A♦

Geraume had run right into Palma's aces and was left looking for a miracle as the flop came Q♣5♦4♦. The 7♦ turn left him already drawing dead, while the J♦ completed the board on the river to send Geraume to the rail.

Brock Wilson raised to 11,000 in middle position, Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi moved all in for 50,000 in the hijack, and Wilson called.

Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: A♣J♣ All in
Brock Wilson: A♦2♦

Wilson was dominated, but the J♦5♦4♠ flop gave him both straight and flush draws. The 10♦ fell on the turn to give him his flush and Ohulchanskyi was already heading for the exit by the time the 8♠ fell on the river.

Roberto Sagra jammed for 79,000 on the button and Mounir Tajiou made the call in the small blind.

Roberto Sagra: K♣J♦ All in
Mounir Tajiou: A♥9♦

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

Ryan Mandara raised to 12,000 in early position and Saymon Dias called in middle position. Chin Wei Lim then moved all in for 38,000 in the hijack and Mandara reraised to 65,000. Dias slid forward 100,000 and Mandara quickly folded.

Chin Wei Lim: 8♠8♣ All in
Saymon Dias: A♥A♦

"There are eights left in the deck. You can get a full triple," tablemate Nick Palma told Lim heading to the flop. Lim caught the 8♦, but it was followed by A♠9♦ to give Dias a higher set.

"Eight one time," Palma said, but Lim's miracle didn't arrive on the J♦ turn or 2♦ river as Dias improved to a flush to send Lim to the rail.
