Oliver Busts Luft with River Queen

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

On the paired {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, Chris Oliver bet 4,200, and Antonio Luft made the call. After Inacio Izkovitz tank-folded, the dealer added the {J-Diamonds} to the board on fourth street. Oliver checked on Luft's remaining stack — about 20,000 — and then moved all in for maximum pressure. After a little bit of thought, Luft committed his stack and put his tournament life on the line with the {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair and a flush draw. Oliver had just the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for two overs to the board and a straight draw.

The river delivered one of the outs Oliver needed with the {Q-Diamonds} hitting the felt. He won the pot to send Luft packing and moved his stack to 88,000 in chips.

Mercier Takes One

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier and Mark Darner were heads up on a completed board of {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. With approximately 18,000 already in the middle, Mercier cut out a river bet of 5,800.

Darner thought for about a minute before moving forward a call. Mercier rolled over {10-Spades}{8-Spades}, Darner mucked, and Mercier took down the pot. He now has about 48,000 to his name.

Bad River Card for Oliveira

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We got to the table with the board showing {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Gorki Oliveira betting 5,500 after Nathan Michael Piche checked. Jason Helder raised to 14,000 and Piche flatted that raise. Oliveria thought for a moment and called as well.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Piche led out for 25,000. Oliveria snap-shoved for slightly less and Helder was just as quick to fold.

"Flush?" queried Oliveira as he waited for Piche to reveal his hand.

It was indeed a flush as Piche had {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Oliveira nodded as he turned over {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a rivered top two pair that was no good.

Greenwood Doubles

We found Sam Greenwood pushing all in for 20,200 from the button on a board of {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Two players had checked from early position, and the first one folded. The second player took a couple of minutes of thought before calling. Unfortunately for him, Greenwood had the best possible holding on the board: {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for the nut straight with a flush draw. The early player showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, knowing he was drawing stone dead.
