Grafton Wins a Flip vs Bicknell

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton opened to 16,000 from under the gun and the player on his left flat-called. Kristen Bicknell was on the button and shipped all in for 140,000. Grafton re-shoved all in which forced the third player to fold.

Sam Grafton: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Kristen Bicknell: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Bicknell remained in front with her pair of tens. However, the {a-Spades} on the turn was the prettiest card in the deck for Grafton. The {j-Spades} completed the board and Bicknell was ousted shortly after the dinner break.

Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Three players saw a flop of {6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Ian Davis and Tobias Duthweiler both checked to partypoker pro Ludovic Geilich who bet 18,000. Davis then check-raised to 52,000.

Duthweiler thought before three-betting all in for 202,000. Geilich thought some more, counted out his stack and then called. Davis also called putting both players at risk.

Tobias Duthweiler: {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Ludovic Geilich: {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Ian Davis: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The turn {9-Clubs} improved Duthweiler to a straight and left Geilich drawing dead. The board failed to pair on the {4-Diamonds} river and Duthweiler doubled through Davis.

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Ankush Mandavia and Maria Ho were heads-up heading to the flop of {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Mandavia checked from early position and Ho dropped in a bet of 28,000 from the cutoff. Mandavia called and the {a-Spades} landed on the turn.

Mandavia check-called another bet of 87,000 from Ho and the {4-Spades} completed the board. Mandavia checked for the third time and Ho thought for a minute before betting 130,000. Mandavia check-raised all in for 302,000 and Ho went into the tank.

After nearly three minutes, the clock was called and Ho had 30 seconds to act on her hand. The time reached zero, Ho's hand was declared dead and the pot was shipped to Mandavia.

Margereson Eliminates Peters Blind on Blind

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded around to David Peters in the small blind who shoved all in for a little over 100,000. Scott Margereson quickly called from the big blind and the cards were on their backs.

Scott Margereson: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
David Peters: {a-}{j-}

It was a coin flip with Peters holding the two overcards to Margereson's pair. However, the ten-high board would give Margereson the best hand and send Peters to the rail.
