Millar Calls Pronin Down; Stammen Busted

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Keven Stammen went bust.
Keven Stammen went bust.

Sergey Pronin fired 3,000 on a {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop and was called by Alex "kanu7" Millar on the button. Millar called another barrel of the same size on the {7-Spades} turn, and a {k-Clubs} hit the river. Pronin bet 5,000 this time and was again called.

Pronin showed {k-Spades}{8-Spades}, but his kings up were beaten by Millar's {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

At another table, a short-stacked Keven Stammen lost the last of his chips, it appeared to Scott Seiver.

"Can we reenter?" he joked as he walked away from the table.

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo

With approximately 7,000 in the pot and the board showing {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Fernando Muniz led out for 2,200 and Fatima De Melo raised it up to 7,000. The one player sitting between the two folded and Muniz made the call.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and Muniz wasted no time in throwing out two blue T5,000 chips for a bet of 10,000. De Melo shook her head and folded, leaving herself with 17,500 behind. Muniz moved up to 51,000 in chips with that pot.

Colman Doubles Through Tamba

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Daniel Colman doubled up with jacks.
Daniel Colman doubled up with jacks.

We found Daniel Colman contemplating a check-raise from Ali Tamba, who put in about 10,000 from middle position after Colman bet 3,000 on a board of {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Colman said something we couldn't hear to Tamba.

"I been saying all kinds of s*** all day," Tamba said. "You're probably way ahead."

Colman, who had only a few thousand more than the raise, smiled and the two exchanged a few more words before Tamba decided the conversation was over.

"I'm going undercover," he announced, putting on his sunglasses.

Colman decided to put his stack in, and Tamba made the call for 3,725 more, showing just the {5-Spades}, indicating he had fives up. Colman could beat it with {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, and Tamba revealed his kicker to be {6-Clubs}.

The dealer swept Colman his double up after the {q-Spades} hit the river.

"I was so close to folding," Colman said.

Danzer Takes from Countryman

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{a-Spades}, Matthias Ballnus and Jeff Madsen checked to reigning World Series of Poker Player of the Year George Danzer, who bet 3,200 from the cutoff. Ballnus made the call from early position, while Madsen folded. Both players checked the {j-Clubs}, and Ballnus bet 5,500 on the {6-Spades}. Danzer called, and Ballnus showed {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Danzer had {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a pair of aces though, and he took the pot at the expense of his fellow German.

Greer Doubles Through Mizrachi

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Rui Silva opened for 850 and Michael Mizrachi three-bet to 1,650. Garrett Greer bumped it up to 3,900 and Silva folded. Grinder counted out the chips to make the call and put them in the middle.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Mizrachi checked to Greer who bet 3,500. Grinder grabbed all of his big chips and flipped them into the middle. Greer instantly called.

"Ace king?" asked Mizrachi.

Greer confirmed his suspicions, turning over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, which was one notch better than Mizrachi's {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The turn was the {2-Spades} giving Mizrachi some outs with the spade flush draw. Greer would pump his fist after the dealer put out the {10-Hearts} on the river having secured a much needed double up to 45,000 in chips.
