Quad Kings Hold for Man

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/250,000, 500,000 ante

Ka Wai Man moved all in for around 5,000,000 and after some pause, Balan Vasilica made the call, putting Man at risk.

Ka Wai Man: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Balan Vasilica: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

Although Man was already well in the lead, the tabled erupted as the flop of {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} was quite favorable to him as it left Vasilica drawing stone dead.

"Wow, quad kings held! How you do that, dealer?" Man was astonished by his good fortune as he secured the big double up.

Cresswell Cracks Aces to Bust Green

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/250,000, 500,000 ante

Adam Green was all in and at risk for around 7,000,000 holding {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and his opponent Gareth Cresswell held {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop changed nothing but Green thumped the table when the {8-Diamonds} arrived on the turn, giving Cresswell a set. The river {6-Hearts} bricked and Green was eliminated.

Cresswell Calls with King-High After River Ruling

Level 35 : 250,000/250,000, 500,000 ante

Luke Cheslin and Gareth Cresswell checked a board of {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} with around 6,000,000 in the middle already.

Cheslin then announced "Five" before sliding 5,000,000 in the pot. The floor was called and the bet was ruled as just 500,000 as Cheslin did not put chips into the pot when announcing his bet.

Cresswell called. "You're good," said Cheslin. Cresswell motioned for Cheslin to turn over his cards, but he just mucked. Cresswell tabled {k-Spades}{5-Clubs} and took down the pot.
