Daniel Demicki
Daniel Demicki

Daniel Demicki bet 25,000 from early position, about half of the pot, on an {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} board, and Hiroyuki Noda called on his left. The river was a {2-Spades} and Demicki bet 28,000. Noda thought about 30 seconds and then called.

Demicki showed {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for two pair, but Noda had outdrawn him on the turn with {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.

Dmitrii Kovalevskii Eliminates Keisuke Hikosaka

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With about 18,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}, Keisuke Hikosaka checked from the small blind to his lone opponent, Dmitrii Kovalevskii who was under the gun. Kovalevskii bet 8,300 and after a bit of thought, Hikosaka shoved for 22,700. Kovalevskii called and the two players tabled their hands.

Hikosaka: {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Kovalevskii: {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Hikosaka had the lead with his pair of sevens but Kovalevskii could take the lead by hitting his double gutshot or pairing either of his hole cards. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but the {8-Diamonds} river gave Kovalevskii a jack-high straight to take the pot and send Hikosaka to the rail.

Shimizu held {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top pair. Nose hit his flush on the {5-Spades} river, but it followed a {5-Diamonds} turn, so Shimizu made a full house.

We found Celina Lin in middle position with a four-bet to 28,800 in front of her. Seng Yee Leow put in a five-bet from the cutoff to 50,000. Lin moved all in for 40,500 more, and Leow tanked a couple of minutes and called.

Lin: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Leow: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, giving Leow a pair and outs to a chop. He got there right away on the {k-Clubs} turn, but Lin could still hit a club for the whole pot. The river was a {9-Hearts} though.

Mooney was flipping for his tournament life and needed his small pocket pair to hold in order to double up. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, pairing Han's ten, and he took the pot to send Mooney to the rail.

Randy Lew
Randy Lew

Dmitrii Kovalevskii raised from middle position and Randy Lew three-bet to 12,000 from the button. Kovalevskii four-bet shoved to put Lew to a decision for his stack and he quickly called.

Lew: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Kovalevskii: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Lew was way behind with the smaller of the two Broadway pairs and needed help from the deck in order to preserve his tournament life. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} which changed nothing and Kovalevskii took the pot to eliminate Lew.
