Vo Leaves Cabaniuc on Fumes

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ilia Cabaniuc moved all in for 16,900 from the small blind and Viet Vo called in the cutoff.

Viet Vo: AK All in
Ilia Cabaniuc: KJ

Cabaniuc found himself dominated as the flop came 536, while the A turn improved Vo to top pair and left Cabaniuc drawing dead.

The river was the 7 and Cabaniuc got up to leave the table, but a recount of the chips showed he had Vo covered by just 1,500.

"Still alive," a tablemate told him as Cabaniuc sat back in his seat.

Taghla Stuns Fischer on the River

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a board of 5394, Mohamed-Said Taghla bet 9,000 from middle position before Marc Fischer moved all in for 28,100 in the hijack. Taghla spent several minutes in the tank before the clock was called. The countdown had nearly reached zero when Taghla put in the chips to call.

Taghla showed AA, but he was behind Fischer's 55 for a set. The river, though, was the A and a collective gasp arose from the table as Taghla spiked a set of aces to send Fischer to the rail.

"I know that's a bad call. Sorry," Taghla said to Fischer.

"That's poker," Fischer replied, taking the bad beat in stride on his way to the exit.

Lu Picks Off Xu

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Qing Lu raised from the button, Ai Guo Xu three-bet to 4,500 and Lu had a little think before she made the call. Both players then checked it back on the 5710 flop.

The turn came the 4 and Xu bet 3,000, which Lu called. On the J river, Xu pushed all in for 16,300 and Lu got the count before making the call.

Xu slammed K2 on the table for a bluff and was already getting up to leave as Lu showed QJ for a pair of jacks to win the pot. Xu was eliminated and the hand left a couple of players on the table bewildered, replaying the events between them.
