Andrej Senic
Andrej Senic

Joining the action on the {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts} turn, Andrej Senic checked out of the small blind and Tolly Sakellariou bet 5,300 in the big blind. Vincent Huang moved all in and Senic jammed over the top.

Sakellariou mucked {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} face up and Senic tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, while Huang was in trouble with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The river was the blank {10-Diamonds} and Huang headed to the rail.

Peco Stojanovski raised to 2,200 from the early position and Corey Kempson shoved from the middle position for the 9,300 he had left. Action folded back to Stojanovski who called immediately.

Corey Kempson: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Peco Stojanovski: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for Stojanovski to stay ahead.

The turn was the {9-Spades} which now gave Kempson a gutshot to a straight but he bricked the river as the {8-Diamonds} completed the board. Kempson made his way to the cashier for another reentry.

Sinclair Busts Marsland

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The chips of Dale Marsland went in preflop and he was in need of help with the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}, as Sandy Sinclair was well ahead with the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

On the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Sinclair improved to top set and Marsland needed a ten. It was all over after the {k-Clubs} turn to make the {5-Spades} river a formality.

Andrew White: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Joe Snell: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
