Brkic on The Rise, Knocks out Roberts

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Uros Brkic already took a lot of chips from Joachim Chia and he just knocked out Andrew Roberts in a battle of the blinds. It was a flip with the {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for Brkic in the small blind and the {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} for Roberts one seat over.

The {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} flop was already quite scary and Roberts tapped the table when the {A-Spades} appeared on the turn. Only a deuce could save Roberts but the {Q-Hearts} river sent him to the rail just shy of the money.

Fundaro Falls to the Rush Hour of Murphy

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Giacomo Fundaro
Giacomo Fundaro

It was an all in preflop by Giacomo Fundaro out of the big blind against the raise of Daniel Murphy and the Italian had about 12,000 or so chips left. Murphy called with {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and was delighted to see {A-Spades} {k-Clubs} on the other side of the table.

The {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} flop was even more exciting as Fundaro could not win the pot outright anymore. The {9-Clubs} on the turn provided some chop odds but the {3-Diamonds} river was a brick.

Double Up for Benson

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The chips went in preflop between Gary Benson with {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and an opponent with {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. Benson was at risk for 9,150 but the chips weould have gone in either way on the {7-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} flop. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn guaranteed the double up for Benson and a meaningless {K-Spades} river completed the board.

Esfandiari Knocks out a Shortie

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A short-stacked player moved all in for approximately 8,000 in chips from early position and Antonio Esfandiari made the call on the button. The players behind him folded and the short stack already stood up while revealing {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}.

Esfandiari was ahead with the {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} but the {Q-Spades} {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop changed the situation entirely. The {K-Spades} on the turn now gave Esfandiari a gutshot and sure enough the {J-Hearts} river provided just that to see the better hand preflop hold up.

Gupta and Heimiller Clash

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

While the stack of Dan Heimiller is difficult to count due to not being stacked in 20s, Piyush Gupta one seat over has built a little pyramid and it is much easier to get an up-to-date information on his count. The two bigger stacks just clashed in a pot that saw approximately 16,000 in the middle until the {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Diamonds} river.

Heimiller bet 5,000 and Gupta raised to 14,500. The 2014 WSOP bracelet winner took more than a minute to make up his mind and eventually folded.
