"Sick Call" By Chad's Mom

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Chad's Mom
Chad's Mom

On the turn, the board read {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, and both blinds checked to Izzy Garcia, who bet 7,000 on the button. Chad's Mom called in the small blind, and the big blind came along. The river was an {a-Hearts}, and two more checks followed. Garcia fired 13,000, and Chad's Mom called off her stack of 12,000 or so. The big blind folded, and Garcia winged his cards to the muck. Per tournament rules, the dealer turned over {7-Spades}{6-Spades}, and Chad's Mom showed {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Sandt's Kicker Good for Huge Pot

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Shawn Sandt
Shawn Sandt

Steve Sandt bet 8,000 on a board of {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts} from the cutoff and saw the player in the big blind raise to 22,000. Sandt announced all in, putting his opponent at risk for about 110,000.

"He's all in?" the big blind asked. "He said he's all in? I call."

Sandt showed {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} for trips, and the big blind twirled {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} in for weaker trips. Sandt would hold if the board didn't pair and a king didn't fall, and the {3-Spades} was safe for him.

Wahdan Goes From Big Stack to Bust

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Nader Wahdan
Nader Wahdan

Nader Wahdan had more than 300,000 recently, and he's now out the door. After an {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, he continuation-bet 13,000 from middle position and was called by Mike Wright on his left and the small blind. The {6-Diamonds} paired the board, and Wahdan bet 24,000 after it was checked to him. Wright shoved all in, the small blind folded, and Wahdan stood up, looking over his stack. About 140,000 remained, and he opted to call it off.

Wright: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Wahdan: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}

The turn was the worst card for Wahdan, as it gave him trips that were still behind. He couldn't fill up on the {7-Clubs} river, and he silently walked out the door.

Wahdan Busted Again

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Nader Wahdan decided to fire another bullet, but his latest attempt was short-lived, as he opened for 6,000 in the cutoff and saw button Matt Krier shove for about 25,000. Wahdan called it off with {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, deciding to gamble, and he was live against {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} though, leaving him all but dead, and a {5-Spades} ended it.
