Sintoras Recovering

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

"Us_Alex" made it 60,000 in the cutoff and "Sintoras" made it 200,000 in the small blind. Us_Alex called and then called once more when Sintoras shoved the last 283K in on the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop.

Sintoras: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Us_Alex: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Sintoras was in a commanding lead with the sneaky set, and the {7-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river didn't trouble them.

Sintoras is trying to get back where they started the day, above 1.2 million.

"Sira Al Aziz" Can't Hold With Aces

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

"Debilne_Ucho" raised to 48K in the cutoff, "terror777727" called and then "Sira Al Aziz" potted in the small blind. Debilne_Ucho repotted to chase out terror777727 and called when Sira Al Aziz jammed for 367K.

Sira Al Aziz: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Debilne_Ucho: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop was fine for Sira Al Aziz but the {q-Clubs} turn sure wasn't. An {8-Clubs} river filled up Debilne_Ucho and sent Sira Al Aziz packing.

Shakerchi Falls

Level 20 : 12,500/25,000, 0 ante

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi opened under the gun to 56,500 and "Us_Alex" three-bet to 182,500 in the big blind. Shakerchi peeled and called a small bet of 75,000 on the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Us_Alex shoved the {a-Diamonds} turn for 227,886 and Shakerchi called but was in bad shape.

Shakerchi: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Us_Alex: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Us_Alex was in command with a full house and the {2-Spades} didn't save Shakerchi. He was left with a couple of blinds and busted in short order.

Watson Trying to Reverse Tough Start

Level 20 : 12,500/25,000, 0 ante

"ZhipOHoy" potted from the small blind and Mike "SirWatts" Watson called. Action was the same with 75K and a call from ZhipOHoy on the {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, bringing a {7-Diamonds} turn. Watson called all in for 272K.

Watson: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}
ZhipOHoy: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Watson had gotten the perfect turn card, and the {j-Hearts} kept his two pair best.

Nemeth Surviving

Level 20 : 12,500/25,000, 0 ante

Andras Nemeth, who won the $5K PLO, is making a bid to get to another final table despite recently being the shortest stack. First, he doubled when he raised preflop for almost all his chips and managed to dodge the flopped flush draw and live pair outs of Mike "SirWatts" Watson.

Then, Nemeth potted in the cutoff and called his remaining 115K off when "AmSoGood" isolated from the button with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Nemeth was behind with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} but flopped a five and turned a jack to seal it.

Watson Finished

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson raised preflop then got it in for 367K postflop on {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} against big blind "ZhipOHoy," who had flopped queens up with {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Watson had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and turned a gutter on the {5-Diamonds} but failed to improve on the river.

Nemeth Soaring Now

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

It's been quite a come-up for Andras "probirs" Nemeth. After a third double several minutes ago, he found No. 4 when he defended big blind from a 75K open by Andreas "Skjervoy" Torbergsen. Nemeth check-called 82,500 on the {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop then checked the {k-Clubs} turn. Torbergsen potted for 330,000 and Nemeth piled for just under 1.1M.

Torbergsen called with {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, having flopped top set. Nemeth needed help but had some outs with {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. He found his straight on the {6-Clubs} river.
