River Flushes Tardif's Dreams of a Double

Kirk Brown

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Philip Tardif open-shoved for around 45,000 and action folded to Thomas Phillips who moved all in for much more, and then it was on Alexander White who was pondering his decision.

After around 30 seconds, he decided to throw away 10♥10♦, which raised some eyebrows from the table but was quickly relieved once he saw what he would have been up against...

Philip Tardif: A♣Q♦ All in
Thomas Phillips: K♦K♥

Phillips was well in the lead with his pocket kings, but the flop of A♠9♠3♠ gave the upper hand to Tardif with his ace.

Miraculously, the board ran out 4♠Q♠ to put a flush on the board which resulted in a chopped pot.

Udayakumar Triples With Kings

Kirk Brown

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ravi Udayakumar opened to 15,000, Douglas Apte moved all in, and Paul Vlahos shoved over the top for more. When it got back to Udayakumar, he quickly made the call for less and the three hands were on their backs.

Ravi Udayakumar: K♦K♣ All in
Douglas Apte: A♥Q♦ All in
Paul Vlahos: Q♣Q♥

Udayakumar was in the lead with his kings, and the runout of 4♥J♠8♥3♠4♣ was favorable to him to score him the main pot for a triple-up while Vlahos' queens were good to take the side pot which eliminated Apte.

Gagne Washes Washington

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After an open from Gregory Gagne, Kent Washington moved all in for 93,000 and the action folded back to Gagne who quickly tossed out calling chips.

Kent Washington: 4♣4♠ All in
Gregory Gagne: 6♥6♣

Washington was in bad shape with his inferior pocket pair, and the board denied him help as it came 10♥5♥J♦8♣9♦ to send him to the rail while Gagne dragged the pot.

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joe Stapleton moved all in preflop for 63,000 and was called by Alexey Laptev to put his tournament life on the line.

Joe Stapleton: A♣Q♠ All in
Alexey Laptev: A♥K♥

Stapleton would need some help from the deck to stay alive, but the runout of 8♠9♥4♠J♣9♦ failed to provide for him and he was sent to the rail to finish his Coors Lite.
