Chia Takes Care of Peel

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a flop of {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}, Scott Peel got his remaining stack in with pocket nines and Joachim Chia looked him up with the {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. What may have looked like a very bad spot turned into the exact opposite as soon as the {7-Clubs} appeared on the turn. The {Q-Hearts} river was a blank and Peel was peeled off.

Zhu Doubles and Busts Shortly After

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

On the "feature table" with the flop camera, we noticed Yaxi Zhu stacking chips for a double up. Shortly after though, she was gone and we only saw the {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} board already being completed. Zhu had {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and was packing her belongings, the opponent on her immediate left had turned two pair with the {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

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.

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.

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.

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.
