Ghojehvand Sends Phua Packing

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Phua had his stack of around 450,000 in the middle and Armin Ghojehvand put in the call.

Paul Phua: 9♦9♣ All in
Armin Ghojehvand: A♥7♦

Ghojehvand seemed confident that he would win, but the J♥6♥3♦ flop didn't show any sign of that as Phua's nines kept their lead. A 7♠ on the turn did give Ghojehvand a few extra outs with a pair of sevens, but instead it was the A♦ on the river that did the trick as he improved to two pair, which eliminated Phua.

Fritz Dispatches Byrraju

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A pot of around 700,000 had brewed on a board of K♠2♣9♣8♠, where Manuel Fritz had bet enough to put both of his opponents all-in. Rahul Byrraju had his stack of around 200,000 in there, but Johan Guilbert took some time before he let his cards go.

Rahul Byrraju: 3♠2♠ All in
Manuel Fritz: A♣K♦

Byrraju had a ton of outs, despite claiming that he had only had two of them. Nevertheless, it didn't matter as the Q♦ on the river wasn't one of the cards that he was looking for.

Kaladjurdjevic Falls to "Loopoo"

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic shoved from under the gun for 340,000 and "Loopoo" reshoved around 575,000 from the cutoff.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: A♥K♠ All in
"Loopoo": 9♥9♣

Kaladjurdjevic had to win a flip to stay alive, but the 4♥J♥8♣ flop didn't offer much in the way of assistance. A 6♠ on the turn left him one card away from the rail, and the 7♠ river sent him there.

Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Albert Daher from under the gun, Matthew Wantman in the hijack, and Phil Ivey from the big blind all had their stacks in the middle, with Wantman having the covering stack of 750,000.

Phil Ivey: 9♦9♠ All in
Albert Daher: A♦J♣ All in
Matthew Wantman: A♠K♥

Daher was calling for a jack, and he found one on the 3♣J♠4♣ flop to take the lead. Ivey needed a nine, and Wantman needed a king, but neither of them improved on the 8♥6♠ runout, which left Ivey on the sidelines and Wantman with 250,000.

Matthew Wantman	250,000 10,000	10,000
