Ormsby Shoves the Turn

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
David Ormsby
David Ormsby

The player under the gun limped in and Chanracy Khun raised to 8,500 from middle position. David Ormsby called from the cutoff and the under-the-gun player called also.

The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and action checked to Ormsby who bet 12,500. The player under the gun called and Khun mucked.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and action checked to Ormsby again. He wasted no time and jammed his stack in the middle, clearly putting his opponent to the test for his last 45,000 in chips. Eventually, he folded and Ormsby raked in the pot.

Ghag Reflex on the River

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Shaan Siddiqui raised to 13,000 from under the gun and Niko Ghag moved all-in for 39,400 from the small blind. Siddiqui called.

Niko Ghag: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Shaan Siddiqui: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to give Siddiqui top two pair, but Ghag picked up a straight draw. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Ghag picked up even more outs holding the only diamond. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Ghag survived to double to just below the starting stack.

Lefrancois Ain't Laughin' After Doublin' Mclaughlin

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Marc Etienne Mclaughlin
Marc Etienne Mclaughlin

Pascal Lefrancois raised to 9,000 from under the gun and action was on Marc Etienne Mclaughlin in the small blind. He paused for a moment and then moved all-in for 59,000. Eric Aucoin got out of the way in the big blind and Lefrancois snap-called.

Mclaughlin was at risk and well behind with {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, up against Lefrancois' {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Lefrancois remained ahead, just needing to dodge an ace. Unfortunately for him, the {a-Diamonds} hit the turn with the {a-Clubs} on the river for the extra needle.

Chartier Rivers a Monster

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Sam Chartier
Sam Chartier

Sam Chartier had Pascal Monarque and Niko Ghag all-in and at risk preflop holding a monster pair and having both of his opponents drawing slim.

Chartier: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Ghag: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Monarque: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The flop fanned out {2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} not changing much but Ghag hit a one-outter as the {10-Hearts} fell on the turn to take a lead. Chartier needed one of the two remaining queens to scoop the pot and that's just what the dealer delivered.

The {q-Clubs} landed on the river and Chartier raked in the whole pot, sending both of his opponents to the rail.

Bicknell Barrels Into Billard

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Jiachen Gong raised to 10,000 from middle position and Francois Billard called from the cutoff. Kristen Bicknell was in the big blind and three-bet to 34,000. Gong quickly mucked and Billard tank-called.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Bicknell paused before leading out for 24,000. Billard called.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and Bicknell thought for about a minute, looked over at Billard's stack and moved all-in. Billard winced and proceeded to fold.

Cheung Eliminated by Tonkaaaa: "It's Too Easy!"

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Kinson Cho-Kin Cheung moved all-in for his last 43,700 from the hijack and Parker 'Tonkaaaa' Talbot called from the cutoff.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Cheung was eliminated.

Talbot was stacking chips and said "It's too easy!" In addition to Cheung, he has also eliminated Jason Earthy and Faisal Khan to slide into second in chips.
