Tartak's Tens Keep Him In

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Four from the money here and Paul Tartak was all-in with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} versus Michael Oscuro's {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for Tartak's last 133,000 chips.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

A ten on the flop was about all that was needed and Tartak got the double-up.

Sometimes, You've Got It

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Tartak and Michael Oscuro have been dualling it out for a large part of the day. This time, after Oscuro min-raised preflop on the button, Tartak called from the small blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Tartak check-called 15,000 from Oscuro. The turn brought the {10-Hearts}, Tartak checked, and Oscuro bet 60,000 this time.

"You have a hand every time", said Tartak and folded. Oscuro indeed had it and showed {6-}{8-} for the straight.

Bubble Of The Bubble

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With 38 players left, and the top 36 getting paid, play has slowed down here for some time, no-one wanting to bust out and lose their chance at winning the $100,000 first prize.

We're On The Bubble

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Harry Basle has been eliminated, losing with pocket jacks against Kiavash Ababi's {a-}{k-} when an ace came on the flop for his last 147,000. One more player needs to be shed before the mincash of $2,100 will be awarded.

Oscuro versus Amiri

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The board read {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and there was about 400,000 in the pot already. Oscuro moved all-in. Amiri took a while, thinking quietly out loud trying to work out whether to make the call as the players from the other tables crowded around, Amiri folded and Oscuro wins a big pot bubble.
