Fireworks on the River

Level 25 : Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante

Nova Baghdasarian opened to 150,000 and was called by fellow big stack Ediberto Pilotin.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and both players checked to the {8-Hearts} turn.

Pilotin then check-called a bet of 100,000 from Baghdasarian and the two went to the river {7-Clubs}.

Pilotin then led out for 220,000; after some thought, Baghdasarian raised to 500,000. Pilotin then tanked for a bit before deciding to put in a cold three-bet to 1,000,000. The action was then back on Baghdasarian who then four-bet jammed all in for 3,000,000 more.

"Woww," Pilotin got out of his seat, clearly in a tough spot. He looked around the room, searching for answers, and eventually told the dealer that he folds.

"That was such a strong bet, bro, you don't even know how crazy my hand was," Pilotin told him as Baghdasarian raked in the huge pot.

Sahar Bakshi Eliminated in 5th Place ($11,240)

Level 26 : 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sahar Bakshi
Sahar Bakshi

In a three-bet pot, Sahar Bakshi and Ediberto were Pilotin heads-up facing a flop of {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} when Bakshi moved all in for around 500,000.

Pilotin snap-called and the cards were exposed, with Bakshi at risk.

Sahar Bakshi: {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Ediberto Pilotin: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Bakshi was ahead with her pair of aces, but Pilotin had a big hand with his combo straight and flush draw. And he didn't have to wait long to hit either because the {4-Diamonds} smacked down on the turn to give him a flush and left Bakshi drawing stone dead. The board completed with a meaningless {q-Clubs} and Pilotin was pushed the pot as Bakshi exited in 5th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ediberto Pilotin
Ediberto Pilotin

After losing a huge hand to Nova Baghdasarian, Ediberto was all in for his last 150,000 against Baghdasarian once again.

Ediberto Pilotin: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Nova Baghdasarian: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

"Ok this is a good one," Pilotin said when he realized he was a big favorite.

But then the flop came {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} to give Baghdasarian a gutshot straight draw.

"Oh you better not do it to me dealer, don't do it to me," Pilotin told the dealer.

The turn {a-Diamonds} was safe for Pilotin, but the river was ever so brutal as it came the {3-Clubs} to give Baghdasarian the straight and eliminating Pilotin in 4th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mark Feinberg
Mark Feinberg

Down to his last blind, Mark Feinberg found himself all in preflop versus Rich Alsup.

Alsup tabled {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Feinberg peeled his first card to show a {4-Hearts}.

"Ok I'm live with that card," he joked, "but not that one so much," when he flipped the other one to show the {k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} to give each man a pair but Alsup's queen trumped Feinberg's four and he was sent to the rail in third place.
