Straight Again for Nadeem

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Yucel Eminoglu bet 1,400 after James Parker checked with the flop down {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Majid Nadeem called, and Parker raised to 5,100. Eminoglu folded, and Nadeem called. Both players checked on the {9-Hearts} turn, and Parker checked on the {7-Diamonds} river. Nadeem bet 13,400, and Parker called after considering his next move for close to a minute.

Nadeem announced a straight and revealed {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Parker mucked in frustration.

Nadeem picked up the pot, and Ryan Mandara took his seat at the same table after exiting the High Roller Final Table.

River Value For Nadeem

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Alberto Speranzoni raised to 1,000 from the hijack and received four callers. He continued on the {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop for 1,700 and only Majid Nadeem called from the cutoff. Heads-up on the {j-Hearts} turn, both players checked, and Speranzoni checked again on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Nadeem bet 7,500 into the 6,300 pot and Speranzoni called after a minute in the tank. Nadeem tabled {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the straight, and Speranzoni mucked.

Straight Flush For Padovani

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Francis Obadun raised to 800 from under the gun and saw three opponents call. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Obadun continued for 1,600. After one player folded, the player on the button called as did Sonia Padovani from the small blind.

The action checked through on the {10-Hearts} turn before Padovani led out for 2,000 on the {4-Diamonds} river. Obadun raised to 6,000 and the player on the button folded after some thought. Padovani instantly moved all in and was met nearly as quickly by a fold from Obadun.

Before Padovani collected the pot uncontested, she tabled her hand to reveal a straight flush with {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Pearson Triple Barrels to Victory

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Trevor Pearson raised to 800 from the button and Alberto Speranzoni defended his big blind and checked in the dark before the flop fell {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}. Speranzoni then called a 1,300 continuation-bet and checked on the {5-Hearts} turn. Pearson continued for 1,500 and Speranzoni called. The river was revealed to be the {6-Clubs} and Pearson triple barreled for 1,500.

Speranzoni gave himself around 45 seconds to think before he gave it up.

Xie Takes From Frey

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

The board was down {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and with 14,000 in the middle, Martyn Frey checked from under the gun. Renee Xie paused for a minute before she moved all in for 8,900.

"River was a good card for you?" remarked Frey after a minute in the tank.

Frey then open-folded {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Xie took down the pot.
