Leary Bluffs it Off

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop Fabio Sperling check-called a bet of 15,000 from James Leary. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Sperling checked to Leary who nonchalantly threw out a 25,000 chip.

Sperling thought for a while before calling. Leary went to muck face down, but eventually turned over {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} just in case it was good. It wasn't. Sperling showed {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for ace-high and took down the pot.

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

James Mitchell raised to 11,000 from the cutoff and got calls from Dominik Nitsche on the button and Luke Marsh in the big blind.

On the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop Mitchell, who has $1,814,135 in recorded live tournament cashes, continuation bet for 21,000 with both his opponents made the call.

The action was checked around on the {6-Hearts} turn and when the river fell the {3-Spades} Nitsche moved all in after Mitchell and Marsh had checked.

Neither player wanted to make the call and the German moved up to 270,000 in chips.

Maini Eliminated by Leary

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

It's been a rollercoaster for Vishal Maini who has been up as high as 140,000 after his recent triple up, but found himself all in for around 45,000 against James Leary.

Maini held {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against Leary's {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. The board came {3-}{5-}{2-}{5-}{a-} and Maini was eliminated.

Vishal Maini
Vishal Maini

Fabio Sperling raised to 8,000 from early position and Vishal Maini moved all in for 45,000.

James Leary called Maini's all-in before Sperling also called.

Both players checked to the river with the board showing {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Sperling then bet 15,000 after Leary had checked and the latter folded.

Maini: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Sperling: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

Maini's trip nines were enough for him to treble his stack up to 140,000.

The river was the {a-Diamonds}. Leary checked to Jackson who moved all in for 45,000. Leary snap-called with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} but was shown the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a rivered pair and Jackson doubled up.
