Silcock Falls to Janczarski

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Rickie Silcock
Rickie Silcock

Chris Da-Silva raised to 35,000 from under the gun and Rickie Silcock called for his last 23,000 from the small blind. Michal Janczarski called the 35,000 raise in the big blind.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Janczarski check-raised the 60,000 continuation-bet of Da-Silva to 140,000. Da-Silva considered his options for a bit and then folded.

Rickie Silcock: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Michal Janczarski: {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}

"No five!" Silcock pleaded but the dealer turned the {5-Hearts} immediately to leave Silcock drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {9-Spades} to give Janczarski an even higher straight as Silcock made his way to the payout desk.

Comitini Falls to Herzali

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Just before the break, Sarah Herzali had raised from the cutoff with {q-}{q-} and Mordechai Israel shoved in the small blind for around 120,000 with {k-}{k-}. Dario Comitini also shoved with the bigger stack in the big blind holding {j-}{j-} and was called by Herzali.

The kings held for Israel to triple up and Herzali took the remainder of Comitini's stack to send the Day 1c chip leader to the rail.
