Ziadeh Is Wowed

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ramon Ziadeh
Ramon Ziadeh

Ramon Ziadeh pumped it up to 6,500 under the gun and was called in early position before Jared Ditmarson three-bet three-bet to 20,000, also from early position. Action folded back to Ziadeh and he called, ultimately taking action heads up to a flop of {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Ziadeh check-called a continuation-bet of 25,000 from Ditmarson.

The turn came {10-Spades} and Ziadeh led out with an all-in jam for his Ditmarson's effective stack of roughly 46,000. Ditmarson went deep into the tank, with several minutes going by before a clock was eventually called. He then found a fold, flashing his cards in the process.

"Wow!" exclaimed Ziadeh. "He folded aces!" he added, further stating that he turned a full house prior to jamming and that Ditmarson had correctly folded his bullets. Nonetheless, Ziadeh now finds himself with one of the largest stacks in the room at 160,000.

Dumas Flops Aces Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Peter Dumas opened under the gun and received a call from Matt Hennig, defending his big blind. The flop came {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Hennig check-called a continuation-bet of 6,000 from Dumas.

Hennig checked again on the turn {4-Spades} and Dumas fired a second barrel of 12,000, which Hennig called before action went check-check on the river to take the hand to showdown.

Upon checking back, Dumas showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Hennig quickly flashed his cards to one side of the table, resulting in numerous remarks before he sent them to the center of the table face down.

The Ladies Love Josh Martin

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Josh Martin opened to 3,500 in early position and saw a player two to his left re-jam for 27,400. Action folded back to Martin and he quickly called.

All-In Player: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Josh Martin: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Martin was way ahead with his queens and had his sights set on a knockout. The flop {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} complied, as did the turn {8-Clubs}. He then needed to fade a two outer just once more on the river, which he did with ease as the {4-Spades} completed the runout to earn him the pot.
