On the {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and around 50,000 in the middle, a player bet 20,300 and Michael Cohen put in enough chips to cover his opponent.

Visibly frustrated, his opponent went deep into the tank before folding {a-Spades}{4-Spades} face up.

Cohen flashed the {10-Hearts} as he scooped the pot and is just under 200,000.

Three players were still in the hand on a board of {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and 13,500 in the middle.

Andrew Shin bet 3,500, seat nine called and seat three raised to 50,000 covering both players. Shin called to put himself at risk and the other player let it go.

Andrew Shin: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Shin was behind as the turn brought the {6-Clubs} but the {k-Spades} river gave Shin the superior two pair and he stays in contention.

Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

His opponent had turned a straight, but it was no good as Uvaydov rivered kings full and won the pot.

Raymond Singson: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Singson scored the huge knockout.

Uvaydov Gets Aces at the Right Time

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
David Uvaydov
David Uvaydov

David Uvaydov was chatting it up with PokerNews right before he was dealt a big hand.

"What do I have to do to get a stack update," asked Uvaydov?

Moments later a player raised to 2,000 and Uvaydov three-bet to 14,000. Another opponent moved all-in and the original raiser got out of the way. Uvaydov called to put himself at risk.

David Uvaydov: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board came {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, safe for Uvaydov and he secured the double.

"Looks like it worked out for both of us," he said.
