Lucky Last

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

The last player to register in the tournament, Cameron Hunter, was in the big blind when a player limped in late position.
Adnan Al-Maliki raised from the small blind to 12,500, and Hunter called, then limping player went all-in for close to 65,000. Al-Maliki folded and Hunter called. The original limper showed {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, while Hunter had {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Hunter doubled up with a full house.

Couple for Vasquez

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

Andres Vasquez had just won a hand and called from the small blind the next hand after Marc Seymour bet 30,000 pre-flop.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Vasquez check-called Seymour's bet of 30,000.

On the turn, after Vasquez checked, Seymour bet 85,000, and after pausing for a while, he announced all-in for around 200,000, forcing a fold from Seymour.

Checking a Straight Flush on the River

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

Poker Palace Summer Championships

David Hirst opened UTG with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and in the big blind, Sailendra "Sunny" Sha called with {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-} brought two hearts and gave each player a flush draw, with Hirst the nut-flush draw, and Sha check-called the 7,500 bet of Hirst.

The turn came {10-Hearts}, giving both players the flush, and again Sha check-called Hirst's bet, this time for 16,000.

When the river came {9-Hearts}, giving Sha the top-end straight flush, he tank-checked.

Hirst, who himself held the lower-end straight flush, checked back, much to the dismay of Sha.

"I can read you well, Sunny," Hirst said to Sha.

Chop It Up

Level 15 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Marc Liddell in the small blind shoved for all of it, 71,000, to be at risk. Kiavash Arbabi in the big blind thought for some time, then made the call.

Liddell: {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Ababi: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Liddell was dominated, and when the flop came {k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}, Abibi was looking in good shape to take him out. But with the turn {k-Hearts}, a chop became a distinct possibility and the river {10-Clubs} confirmed the pot would be chopped and Liddell survived.
