Parkkinen Scores a Fortunate Double

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kalle Parkkinen got the last 10,900 in from an early position and he was flat-called by Paul Kristoffersson on the button. The big blind asked how much the latter played but sent the cards into the muck.

Kalle Parkkinen: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Paul Kristoffersson: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop vaulted Parkkinen into the lead but he had plenty of outs to dodge. That was the case thanks to the {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} runout on turn and river as the Finn escaped from elimination.

Adelstein, Lew Tell Contrasting Stories Regarding Controversial HCL Hand

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Hustler Casino Live Hand
Hustler Casino Live Hand

Garrett Adelstein and Robbi Jade Lew have both issued public statements regarding what transpired following the infamous Thursday night hero call on Hustler Casino Live, and their accounts don't seem to match up.

Cliff's Notes version of what took place during what was supposed to be a stream focused on Phil Ivey: On a board of {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Adelstein bet $10,000 with {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} before Lew, holding {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, min-raised to $20,000 only for her opponent to move all in for $129,000 total. She tanked and inevitably called with jack-high, and then won both river run-outs to scoop the $269,000 pot.

Filip Holmqvist: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Shucheng Shen: {j-}{j-}

The {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board gave Holmqvist quads and sealed Nadarzewski's fate in spectacular fashion.

Cristian Birladeanu: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Dara O'Kearney: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The {5-Spades} turn and the {10-Hearts} river gave Birladeanu a straight and reduced the Irishman to one third of the starting stack.

Espensen Gets a Shove Through

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

David Hu opened to 2,200 and was called by Zvezdan Tadic on the button, Ronnie Espensen also called out of the big blind. The {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop was checked to Tadic, who bet 2,700. Espensen then check-shoved for 17,500 and Hu quickly folded.

Tadic bemoaned a seemingly difficult decision for two minutes and let go. Egi Adriaans has become the far largest stack at the table while Espensen remains below the starting stack even despite claiming this pot.
