James Chen and Steve O'Dwyer tangled on a flop of {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades} where Chen checked in the big blind and O'Dwyer fired 5,500. Chen called and they both checked the {7-Clubs} turn.

The {10-Diamonds} hit the river and Chen led out 13,000. O'Dwyer used his allocated 30 seconds and tossed in one chip, calling. Chen turned up {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for queens up and O'Dwyer mucked his hand in defeat.

Alvarado Busts Ivey and Leow

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey opened to 5,500 and JC Alvarado raised, making it 22,000. Ivan Leow was short stacked in the blinds and he moved all in for 18,000. Action folded back to Ivey who moved all in over the top for roughly 40,000 and Alvarado called both shoves with his covering stack.

Phil Ivey: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
JC Alvarado: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Ivan Leow: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop was safe for Ivey when it came down {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} but the {K-Spades} on the turn was a heartbreaker, giving Leow top pair. The {A-Hearts} on the river would vault Alvarado into the lead and he sent both players to the rail after making a pair of aces.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Badziakouski called and the {8-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Both players tapped the felt to see the {6-Hearts} river and Badziakouski slid forward enough chips to cover Katz' remaining 36,500. Katz didn't waste much time and laid his hand down.

Juanda Loses His Remaining Shrapnel

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda was downed to his last two big blinds or so and he tried to spin his way up in a four-way pot. The action for the side pot was checked to the {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades} turn where Ying Jinghui fired a bet, prompting folds from Cary Katz and Mikita Badziakouski.

"What do you have?" Juanda asked and Jinghui replied that he had a jack.

"Jack-what?" Juanda investigated before the cards were turned up. "Jack only," Jinghui said, but he was still ahead of Juanda with {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} against {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The river came {K-Diamonds} and Jinghui busted Juanda on the last three tables.
