Misaghian Finds Another Miracle

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mazyar Misaghian shoved from the button for 276,000 and so did Joseph Hayek in the small blind with the bigger stack for Michael Tran to fold his big blind.

Mazyar Misaghian: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Joseph Hayek: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to not change the situation.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} to give Misaghian a pair of queens.

"Brick it!" Misaghian shouted.

The river bricked indeed when the {2-Hearts} completed the board for Misaghian to double up.

Clash of the Michaels

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Kanaan shoved from under the gun for 183,000 and was called by Michael Tran in the big blind.

Michael Kanaan: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Michael Tran: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for Kanaan to stay ahead but for Tran to pick up the gutshot to a straight.

The turn was the {8-Spades} for the straight indeed. Only another jack for a split pot could save Kanaan but the river bricked with the {3-Diamonds} for Kanaan to be eliminated in 31st place.

Dykes Three-Bets Zhang and Kehoe

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

First to act, Yisi Zhang opened to 35,000 and he was called by Dylan Kehoe on the button. Peter Dykes in the small blind gave it some consideration and then three-bet to 155,000. That sent Zhang into the think tank and he released his cards into the muck, as did Kehoe.

Dykes offered to pick one card and Kehoe revealed the {q-Clubs}.

Dramatic Elimination for Chamas

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Hussein Chamas
Hussein Chamas

Hussein Chamas raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Tu Le three-bet to 85,000 on the button. Corey Kempson called in the big blind and so did Chamas.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Kempson and Chamas checked. Le fired out a bet of 120,000 for Kempson to fold. Chamas took some time and then decided to shove for around 275,000. Le snap-called.

Hussein Chamas: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Tu Le: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Le had flopped top two pair and Chamas held a draw to a Broadway.

Chamas got up from his chair to see the {10-Spades} fall on the turn to give him the Broadway indeed while everyone at the table and the rail gasped.

The river completed the board with the {j-Clubs} to now give Le a full house while everyone looked on with shock for Chamas to make his way out of the tournament area in 32nd place for A$8,198.

Benson Doubles Through Edwards

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mark Lassau raised to 28,000 from under the gun and was called by both Luke Edwards in the hijack and Hamish Crawshaw in the cutoff. Gary Benson shoved from the button for 91,000 for Lassau to fold after a few seconds and for Edwards to also shove with the bigger stack. Crawshaw quickly got out of their way.

Gary Benson: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Luke Edwards: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for Benson to hold with the higher pocket pair to double up.

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Marc Seymour
Marc Seymour

Marc Seymour moved all in for 193,000 and Richard Seymour asked for a count, then tossed in a single chip for the call from the button. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were turned over.

Marc Seymour: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Richard Davis: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Davis a pair of aces and it was all over for Seymour on the {5-Diamonds} turn, which made the {a-Hearts} on the river a formality. For his 33rd place finish, Seymour will collect A$8,198 for his efforts.

Haoran Zhang
Haoran Zhang

Haoran Zhang made it 26,000 to go from the hijack and Sam Vakili on the button three-bet to 52,000, which Zhang called. On a {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, Zhang check-called a continuation bet and also checked the {q-Clubs} on the turn.

Vakili now made it 76,000 to go and Zhang raised it up to 220,000. That ended up doing the trick as Vakili conceded the pot.

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Adam Kharman
Adam Kharman

Adam Kharman jammed for the last 170,000 in the cutoff and Richard Davis made the call out of the big blind.

Adam Kharman: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Richard Davis: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The first card to appear was the {9-Diamonds} followed by the {j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Kharman was left in desperate shape. He picked up some outs on the {8-Hearts} turn, but the {10-Clubs} river wasn' what he was looking for. Kharman was sent to the rail in 34th place and takes home A$7,291 for his efforts.
