Vornicu Makes River Call

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board that read {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} Dmitri Perfilev bet 50,000 over to his opponent Valentin Vornicu who called after just a few seconds. Perfilev turned over the {q-}{k-} which was no good against the {9-}{9-} of Vornicu who added some chips to his stack that has started to rebuild since his table change.

Same Ol' Song and Dance

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

Stephen Song opened to 12,000 in middle position and Stanislav Angelov shoved all in for 68,500 on his left. The action folded back to Song who confirmed the count before making the call.

Song turned over {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} but it was Angelov who was ahead with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} proved to be safe for Angelov but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn spelled disaster. The {k-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Angelov was eliminated.

"Still running good," Tobias Peters mentioned.

"I've been running good all year," Song responded. "Next year might be different."

But as for now, it was Song's turn to take the spotlight. In the very next hand, Song made it 12,000 to go again and Alejandro Roman shipped all in for around 80,000. Song quickly called and the cards were on their backs again.

Song held {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was dominating Roman's {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Song scored another knockout to take over the chip lead.

Salazar Gets After It

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Ryan opened to 10,000 in middle position and Eric Salazar three-bet to 31,500 on his left in the hijack. Paulius Vaitiekunas stuck in a four-bet to 76,500 on the button which got the blinds and Ryan to lay their hands down. Salazar called and the flop fell {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Salazar checked to Vaitiekunas who bet 50,000 only to have Salazar check-raise all in. Vaitiekunas instantly mucked his cards and Salazar dragged in the pot to climb to 400,000 chips.

Lynskey and Nuwwarah Bow Out

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Alex Lynskey found himself all in for around 75,000. Michael Marder was his opponent and the two players were flipping when the cards were tabled.

Michael Marder: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Alex Lynskey: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} left Marder in the lead with his pair of jacks. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn left Lynskey looking for just six outs and the {6-Hearts} on the river was not one of them.

Just moments later, Mo Nuwwarah was also seen leaving his seat and his chips were moving to Alejandro Roman on his left.
