Stashin Gets Big Value

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On board of {9-}{8-}{3-}{k-}{4-}, Michael Stashin fired big from the button with about 25,000 into a pot that looked to contain around 30,000. His opponent in early position shook his head but flicked in some calling chips.

Stashin showed {a-}{k-} and the pair was good for the hefty pot, boosting Stashin over 110,000.

Ramdin Trying to Bring It Back

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

With only about 4,000 in the pot, Victor Ramdin shoved all in for 11,300 on a completed board of {k-}{j-}{7-}{10-}{6-}.

"Vic," his neighbor, Frank Conti, said with a sigh. "Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic."

After about two minutes, Conti splashed in calling chips and Ramdin rolled over {9-}{8-} for a straight. Conti mucked and the dealer instructed him to show. Despite Ramdin's protest that he didn't care to see, Conti flashed what looked like {a-}{7-}.

Cooler in Sabogali's Favor

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Two players had 10,000 in front of them at Table 3 on a {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} flop. The small blind had woken up with 30,000, and Alberto Sabogali resignedly shoved all of his chips with an "OK." The third player folded and the small blind groaned, saying something about another cooler but he stuck his 62,000 or so in there.

Alberto Sabogali: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Small blind: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

It was as Sabogali's opponent feared as he'd run middle set into top set. The turn and river were a {10-Hearts} and {8-Clubs} and Sabogali collected his opponent's stack.

"I knew it, but what can I do?" the player who busted lamented.

"That was a good acting job," someone said with a laugh. "You were trying to get him in too?"

Sabogali smiled and nodded.

Sica Holds Against Big Draw

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Three players put in 2,700 apiece on a {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop and the turn brought a {10-Clubs}. Yevgeny [Removed:301] opened things up with a cram for about 10,000, and Brian Sica reshoved instantly in middle position for about 45,000. The last player, in the cutoff, sighed and mucked the {a-Diamonds} face up.

Yevgeny [Removed:301]: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Brian Sica: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The river was a {4-Spades} and [Removed:301] took his leave.

Chen Wins a Raising War

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Guoliang Chen
Guoliang Chen

Guoliang Chen in middle position and Navneet Kumar in the hijack got in a raising war on {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. There was about 10,000 in the middle already with Kumar having wagered 7,000, only to see Chen ship it on him for his last 16,100.

It sounded like Chen told Kumar he'd show him, which prompted a warning from the dealer. Kumar did fold and Chen said he'd show one: {7-Spades}.
