Wunstel Holds to Bust Maksudi

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Corrie Wunstel
Corrie Wunstel

Handri Maksudi opened for 2,500 in early position, and Corrie Wunstel made it 5,000 in the next spot. Action folded back to Maksudi, who called. Maksudi checked the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop, and Wunstel bet 5,000. Maksudi shoved all in for about 15,000, and Wunstel called right away.

Wunstel: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Maksudi: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Maksudi had flopped top pair and a combo draw but trailed Wunstel's top-top. The {j-Spades} turn eliminated some outs for Wunstel, and a {10-Spades} river harmlessly paired the board.

Chocheles Puts Karasoulis to the Test; Hebert Crippled

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
David Chocheles
David Chocheles

David Chocheles bet about 2,500 on an {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop and saw Mihail Karasoulis check-raise to 7,000 in the blinds. Chocheles called, and a {j-Clubs} hit the turn. Karasoulis bet another 7,000, and Chocheles put 18,000 in, nearly enough to put Karasoulis at risk. Karasoulis thought a couple of minutes and folded.

At another table, David Hebert lost nearly all of his stack all in with {q-}{q-} when a player binked a three-outer with {a-}{q-}.

Players are on a 10-minute break.
