Cormier Flops the Nuts to Bust Xu

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rong Xu
Rong Xu

With about 80,000 in the pot, on a board reading {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, Jeff Cormier bet 30,000 from late position and Rong Xu moved all-in for 98,000 from the hijack. The player on the button called, and Cormier thought for a brief moment before re-raising to 245,000. The button tanked and claimed to fold {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} after mucking his cards.

Xu was at risk with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the nut flush draw, but Cormier tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nuts. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river was the {q-Diamonds}, missing Xu's flush draw and sending him to the rail.

Seyedrohollah Makes Quads to Crack Nadeau's Aces

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ettehadi Seyedrohollah
Ettehadi Seyedrohollah

Yan Nadeau raised to 18,000 from under the gun and got calls from Peter Kaemmerlen in the hijack, Ettehadi Seyedrohollah in the cutoff and Didier Morissonneau in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Morissonneau led out for 25,000. Nadeau raised to 100,000, Kaemmerlen folded, Seyedrohollah cold-called and Morissonneau folded.

The turn was he {9-Hearts} and Nadeau checked. Seyedrohollah bet 200,000 and Nadeau quickly check-shoved all-in for 768,000. Seyedrohollah didn't look happy and asked for a count while agonizing over the decision. Eventually he called.

Nadeau tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for two pair aces and nines, but Seyedrohollah held {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for trip nines. The river was the {9-Spades} for the extra needle and Nadeau was eliminated.

Leclerc Takes From Duhamel

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With about 90,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, Jonathan Duhamel checked from under the gun, as did Mathieu Leclerc from the hijack.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Duhamel checked again. Leclerc paused for a moment and then put out a bet worth 55,000. Duhamel went into the tank for a brief moment and eventually tossed a couple of chips out to call.

Leclerc confidently tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for two pair aces and deuces and the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion mucked his hand, sending the pot to Leclerc.
