Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gianluca Speranza
Gianluca Speranza

Sean Winter opened for 6,000 under the gun, Ryan Riess made it 20,000 in the cutoff and Gianluca Speranza piled in 56,000 on a cold four-bet from the button. Action folded back to Riess and he moved all in for 250,500. Speranza waved for a count then called.

Gianluca Speranza: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Ryan Riess: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, as dead as they come for Riess, and he headed out with a "good luck."

Stokkan Has Bicknell Drawing Slim

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Preben Stokkan opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Dario Sammartino on his left, Kristen Bicknell on the button, and Brock Wilson in the big blind. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Wilson checked to Stokkan who continued for 17,000. Sammartino folded and Bicknell raised to 50,000. Wilson also folded and Stokkan pushed all in for 84,000 which got a quick call from Bicknell.

Preben Stokkan: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Kristen Bicknell: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Although Bicknell flopped a straight flush draw, Stokkan had all of her outs and better straight and flush draws. The turn was the {9-Spades} and Bicknell was already drawing dead to the {q-Hearts} on the river.
