Singh Survives with Chop

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Kulwant Singh, who won the RunGood Graton Main Event back in September, was all in and at risk on a flop of {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} after betting his last 7,600 and getting called by the button.

Kulwant Singh: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Button player: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Singh's top pair and straight draw were crushed by his opponent's flopped Broadway straight.

The {q-Hearts} on the turn gave him outs to a full house, but instead, the {a-Clubs} fell on the river, giving Singh a chop with his own Broadway straight.

"Stapes" Doubles Up "Spartacus"

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Joe Stapleton
Joe Stapleton

After Joe Stapleton raised to 1,300 from under the gun, Greg Pincombe, known at Thunder Valley as "Spartacus", moved all in from the small blind for about 29,000.

"Stapes" as he's known by pretty much everyone that's ever met him, called and a classic race involving two great nicknames was underway.

Greg "Spartacus" Pincombe: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Joe "Stapes" Stapleton: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop was safe for Stapleton, but the {k-Spades} on the turn left the comedian and poker commentator needing a ten on the river.

Instead, the {k-Hearts} added insult to injury, as Stapleton was left with under half of a starting stack, while Pincombe vaulted over 60,000.

Joshua Prager

About 18,000 was in the middle on a turn board of {9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} when Joshua Prager moved all in for 16,000 over his opponent's bet of 5,000.

After a bit of deliberation, Prager got a fold, then proudly showed {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

"I was bluffing, but with the best hand," said Prager as the pot was pushed in his direction.

Swan Dives Over 200k

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With approximately 13,000 in the middle on a completed board of {2-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Charles Swan tossed a pair of orange T-5,000 chips forward to bet 10,000.

His opponent in middle position shook his head in frustration, then reached for his stack and tossed a pair of his own orange chips forward to call.

Swan showed {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a turned wheel, as his opponent continued to shake his head then tossed his cards forward as well into the muck. The pot was pushed to Swan, moving his stack over 200,000.

Vang Takes Battle of Big Stacks at Table 3

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Two of the biggest stacks in the room are held by Angela Jordison and Xai Vang who are both seated at table 3.

The duo recently clashed in a healthy pot that saw Vang claim potentially the biggest stack in the room.

Picking action up on the turn with a board of {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and approximately 20,000 in the middle, Jordison bet 11,300 from middle position and was called by Vang.

The river brought the {6-Spades} and after a bit of thought, Jordison checked. Vang took a moment of pause as well before checking behind.

"King-high" declared Jordison, before Vang turned over {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a winning two pair to drag the healthy pot before break.
