Sujeta Chipping Up

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 5,800 in the pot on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, reigning champion Tomas Sujeta check-called a bet of 3,000 from Hannes Neurauter, who was in middle position.

Action checked through on the {8-Diamonds} turn before Sujeta took the pot down with an uncontested bet of 3,500 on the {4-Spades} river.

Fenton Doubles Through Teeranan

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Teeranan Chuennirun bet 2,500 from early position and was met with a shove from Daryl Benton in the highjack. Teeranan thought about it and announced "gamble!" and slammed down calling chips.

Daryl Benton: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Teeranan Chuennirun: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

A flop of {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} effectively killed any chance of Chuennirun winning the pot. The {4-Hearts} turn and {9-Hearts} confirmed Benton raked in a double-up.
