Alan Snow
Alan Snow

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} with roughly 8,000 in the middle, Barry Shulman checked over to Alan Snow who bet out 5,000 from the hijack.

Shulman responded with a check-raise to 12,000, and Snow instantly moved all in for what appeared to be around 16,000.

Shulman folded, and Snow showed his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped set. Shulman is now down to 15,475 in chips.

Matt Affleck On Top

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

It appears as though Matt Affleck is not only the tournament chip leader, but also the only player sitting with a six-figure chip stack.

Recently in a hand that saw roughly 11,000 sitting in the middle, Matt Affleck checked over to his opponent on the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board. His opponent on the button bet out 4,800 before Affleck check-raised to 16,000. The button moved all in for roughly 40,000 and Affleck snap-called.

Affleck: {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The river landed the meaningless {2-Hearts}, and Affleck eliminated his opponent and climbed to over 100,000 in chips.

Rauno Tahvonen

The final board of {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} was exposed with Rauno Tahvonen all in for his final 27,575 holding {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

He had two opponents in the hand; one which covered him holding {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and another that was all in for 15,575 with {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Although unsure of when exactly the money went in, Tahvonen was able to fade his opponent's straight and flush draws and more then doubled to roughly 76,000 with his flopped set of deuces.
