Stempien Flushes Peperone

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With the flop showing {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Nick Peperone bet 4,000, John Stempien raised to 10,000 and Peperone moved all in. Stempien called off for around 23,000 total.

Stempien {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Peperone: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Peperone was in front with his pair of fives but Stempien had two overs with his flush draw. The {9-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but the {K-Spades} on the river completed Stempien's flush to give him 52,000 in chips.

Rattan Triples Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

We made our way to Table 8 to find Sonny Rattan calling a three-bet shove for his last 14,350. Another player still had a decision to make and eventually called, creating a three-way all in with more than 45,000 in the pot.

Rattan's {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} was up against {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and he avoided disaster on the ten-high board.
