The turn

kept Lefkowitz in the lead but the river {K-Hearts}

made Lellouche the nut-flush and he scooped the entire pot.

Ruiz Takes Chunk Out of Lellouche

[user76023]

Antony Lellouche raises preflop and Armando Ruiz calls from the blinds.

and Ruiz check-calls a bet of 28,000 from the French chip leader. The turn is the {3-Hearts}

and both players check. The dealer puts out the {J-Diamonds}

on the river. Now Ruiz bets 84,000, and Lellouche makes the call before mucking when he sees his opponent's {A-Diamonds}

which scoops both high and low.

Roland Takes Three-Quarters More

[user76023]

Another big pot ends on the river with Roland de Wolfe betting 180,000 on the river of a {8-Spades}

board.

Lellouche had called a check-raise on the turn before tanking and calling the river with {8-Diamonds}

. De Wolfe flipped {8-Hearts}

, having been freerolling the flush draw on the turn. He still got 3/4 as they chopped the high and Roland's 2-3 took the low. Lellouche has lost more than half his stack now...

Level: 18

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 0

Clements Sends Racener Into the Tank

donpeters

Four cards laid in the middle of the felt as the pot became heated between John Racener and Scott Clements. Racener checked and Clements elected to fire a bet of 75,000 into the {6-Diamonds}

board. Racener tanked and then called.

The river was the {10-Clubs}

and Racener checked again. Clements bet 70,000 this time. Racener tanked again. Twice he held a bunch of chips in his right hand and motioned them forward towards the pot in the air before pulling them back. Clements didn't say a word, nor did he flinch the tiniest bit.

The entire other table in play was surrounding the action and sweating the decision. Finally, Racener pushed his cards aside and told the dealer he folds. The dealer mucked his hand and Clements took the pot.
