Better Straight for Akkari

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jorge Cantos raised from under the gun and Andre Akkari defended his big blind. The {9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop went check/check, Akkari bet 21,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn and Cantos called, then went for an 83,000 bet on the {7-Hearts} river. Cantos called without hesitation.

Akkari showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Cantos was about to reveal the first card of his {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} when he noticed Akkari having a higher straight. He still revealed it and handed over the chips.

Sarracco Eliminated by Vohra

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mark Radoja raised to 17,000 and Pasquale Sarracco moved all in for little more from two seats over. Rajesh Vohra called on the button and Scott Clements did so in the big blind.

"Do I have the option to raise?" Radoja inquired, and that wasn't the case, so he just tossed in the extra chips. On the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, action checked to Vohra and his bet of 30,000 forced folds from Clements and Radoja.

Pasquale Sarracco: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Rajesh Vohra: {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The {K-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river were blanks and Sarracco was eliminated in 55th place.

Nguyen Keeps Building

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}, Tommy Nguyen, in the big blind, checked. Aleksandr Gofman, in early position, bet 10,000. Nguyen called.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Nguyen check-called again a bet of 45,000 from Gofman.

The {a-Diamonds} river completed the board. Both players opted to check. Nguyen tabled {10-Spades}{6-Clubs} for trips and Gofman sent his hand to the muck.

More for Altman; Calamusa Stops Downfall

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds} turn, Brian Altman checked and called a bet worth 50,000 by Carlos Chadha from one seat over in the under-the-gun position. The {7-Hearts} on the river was checked and Altman tabled {K-Spades}{7-Spades} for two pair to claim yet another pot.

For start-of-the-day chip leader Pierre Calamusa, the trend is heading in the exact opposite direction and he just scooped a small pot to claim back a few chips. Calamusa check-called a bet of 35,000 by Pavel Veksler on the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} turn and they checked the {10-Clubs} river.

Calamusa showed {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} for top pair and that won the pot.

Ross Can't Spin it Up

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Eli Ross was down to just eight big blinds and shoved those all in from late position. Ami Barer was the one to make the call from the blinds.

Eli Ross: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Ami Barer: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}

It was all but over for Ross after the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, although he picked up a backdoor straight draw with the {5-Hearts} turn. The {6-Hearts} on the river was not what he needed and he finished in 59th for $24,760.
