Lima Unwittingly Checks

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Vinicius Lima raised to 52,000 on the button and called a three-bet of 170,000 from David Morton in the small blind. Morton checked the {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, and Lima let his time run out. The floor was called, and it turned out Lima thought the action was still on Morton as he didn't see him check. Morton asked if the hand was dead but it was ruled a check with no aggressive action in front of him. The turn was a {4-Hearts} and Morton check-folded to a bet of about 150,000.

Chan Pelton - 4th Place

Vinicius Lima opened to 52,000 in the cutoff and Chan Pelton made it 225,000 in the small blind. Lima pushed all in for 650,000 or so effective, and Pelton tanked down until he had to use his time extension. After another minute, he tossed in his other extension. He asked Lima if he wanted action. No response, and finally Pelton decided to call.

Pelton: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Lima: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Pelton had come from behind with three outs earlier, but this time he bricked out on the {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} board.

Pelton Gets His Wish

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Chan Pelton raised to 52,000 on the button and got a call from Mike Comisso. Pelton bet 37,000 on the {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, and a {9-Spades} hit the turn. Comisso check-called 72,000 this time.

"Please put a deuce out there dealer," Pelton said.

The dealer delivered one: the {2-Hearts}, causing Pelton to raise his arms in wonder.

"Kind of have to bet it now right?" he asked Comisso after a check.

Pelton announced 272,000, and Comisso used about half of his allotted time before folding.

Pelton Back to 1 Million

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

In the last hand at the previous level, Chan Pelton called a bet from big blind Vinicius Lima on a board of {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and a {5-Clubs} arrived on the end. Lima bet 220,000.

"Gotta make it tough on me," Pelton said, leaning back in his chair. "If I move all in will you fold?"

When he was told he had 30 seconds to act, Pelton slid in a call. Lima flipped over {k-Clubs}{7-Spades} for king-high, but Pelton initially thought it was {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and asked if it was a king-high flush. Assured it wasn't, he showed {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a flush himself.
