Lehavot Let Go

[user66118]

A player in the cutoff seat opened the pot with a raise, and Amir Lehavot reraised all in for 364,000 from the button. In the big blind, Miika Puumalainen looked down at pocket aces and made the call while the original raiser ducked out quickly. Lehavot tabled {K-Diamonds}

and had some work to do to catch up.

The board was a brick wall though, coming {2-Diamonds}

. Aces are good again, and our Day 1 chip leader has been eliminated with just over 200 players remaining.

[user46392]

Wayne Lewis was down to 45,000 when he pushed all in under the gun -- apparently he'd only looked at one card, a ten, and decided it was good enough. Jamie Brown re-shoved from the small blind, the big blind passed, and they flipped their cards.

Brown: {9-Hearts}

Corrado's Aces Hold

donpeters

Hieu Luu has been playing erratic and ridiculously aggressive all day long. From the hijack seat, he raised to 30,000 before Montagna Corrado reraised to 86,000 from the small blind. Luu made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}

and Luu fired 300,000 after Corrado checked. Corrado tanked and then moved all in for 744,000 total. Luu quickly called.

Luu held {J-Clubs}

against Corrado's {A-Spades}

.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts}

and the river the {7-Diamonds}

. Corrado's aces were able to dodge all of the outs Luu had and he doubled up to 1.68 million. Luu dropped to slightly under one million and has 960,000.
