Leah and Cormier Chop a Gutty

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Mike Leah raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Jeff Cormier called on the button.

The flop came {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Leah bet 4,500. Cormier quickly called. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Leah checked. Cormier thought for a full minute before deciding to check back.

The river was the {q-Hearts} and Leah led out for 15,000 this time. Cormier paused, the two players stared each other down and Cormier called.

Both players tabled king-jack off-suit for the nut straight and laughed as they chopped the pot up.

Gong Fades a Freeroll

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jiachen Gong raised to 3,600 from the hijack and got a call from the player on the button. Duff Charette was in the small blind and three-bet to 11,600. Gong tanked for a moment and moved all-in for 61,000. The button folded and Charette shrugged before calling.

Gong was at risk with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, up against {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The flop came {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Charette was the only one who could win the hand if it wasn't a chop. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Charette picked up a freeroll if a club came on the river.

The river was black, but it was the {q-Spades} and Gong survived.

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and all three players checked to the {5-Clubs} on the turn. Barbosa led out for 6,000 and Sauve called while Bouchard mucked.

The river was the {2-Hearts}. Barbosa led for 15,000 this time and Sauve snap-called. Barbosa tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a full house fives full of kings. Sauve mucked.

Hallak Scoops a Big One to Send Baron to the Rail

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a board reading {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, with 40,000 in the middle already, Alexandru Baron led out for 30,000 from the small blind. Georges Hallak was in the cutoff and called.

The river as the {q-Spades}. Baron wasted no time and moved all-in for his last 82,900. Hallak asked for a count and went into the tank for a couple of minutes before eventually tossing in some chips to call.

Baron confidently tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top two pair, but Hallak revealed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights. Hallak raked in the pot and Baron headed to the rail.
