Kornuth Showers Opponent

Level 9 : 400/800, 75 ante

Chance Kornuth got the remainder of his stack in preflop with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and he flipped for his tournament life against the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} of his opponent. After the {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{J-Spades}{K-Diamonds} turn it was already all over and the {J-Diamonds} river completed the board. "Was that a shower?" asked the opponent. "Yeah, but I got a sh#### shower," Kornuth replied.

Lichtenberger's Shove Succeeds

Level 9 : 400/800, 75 ante

With a flop of {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, a player in Seat 3 opened for 4,100 and Ryan D'Angelo reraised to 10,200. Andrew Lichtenberger tanked for nearly a minute before announcing he was all in for 28,925. The player in Seat 3 folded fairly quickly and D'Angelo didn't waste too much time before pushing his cards into the muck as well. Lichtenberger picked up the pot moving to 54,000 in chips.

Bernabeu and Zicarte Booming

Level 9 : 400/800, 75 ante

Samuel Bernabeu and Joseba Zicarte are both from Spain and share the same table. Zicarte joined the six-digit stacks when he called all in after the {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} turn. There were about 30,000 chips in the middle of the pot and the opponent of the Spaniard with more chips put him all in.

Zicarte tank-called for 39,925 with {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and it was a good call as he was only shown {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. The {5-Clubs} river was a blank and the Spaniard got a huge double up.
