Pora Gets Big One before Break with 495 Entries

The players are into the final break of the day, and Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora has chipped up right before the break. He raised to 20,250 under the gun and got a call from "|gammi|€120" in the cutoff.

The flop came 5♠2♦K♥ and Pora fired a small shot of 15,425. After a call, Pora check-raised the 8♦ turn from 29,616 to 148,160. "|gammi|€120" called and on the 4♠ river, Pora bet 500,121, which would leave "|gammi|€120" just 1 chip behind. They called, and mucked to the flopped set of kings for Pora, then busted the next hand.

Moorman Gets there, then Doesn't

Lyle Bateman

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Chris "Moorman1" Moorman raised early to 16.8k from a stack of about 230k, then tank-called his stack off when big blind Moritz "MuckCallOK" Dietrich shoved with more. Moorman started in rough shape with tens into queens but quickly spiked a ten on the flop to take the lead.

It was short-lived however as Dietrich rivered a queen for the bigger set.
