DeBora River Shove Victory

On a {4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} board with around 8,200 in the pot, Greg DeBora fired out 5,000 after his opponent checked the action to him.

DeBora however was then faced with a check-raise to 15,000 with DeBora making the call.

The river landed the {10-Diamonds} and DeBora - after his opponent checked - moved all in for roughly 13,500.

His opponent eventually found a fold to see the Canadian climb to 52,000 in chips.

Galic on the Go

Dragan Galic's day continues to go well. Just now we came upon another big hand involving Galic.

In this one the board showed {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and there was about 35,000 already in the middle. Galic pushed all in, and his opponent called with his remaining 20,000.

Galic flipeed over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for aces full, crushing his opponent's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Another player hits the rail as we near the end of Level 5. Meanwhile, Galic has pushed up over 310,000 -- the biggest stack around at the moment.

Fatima's River Blow

Fatima Moreira De Melo opened with a raise to 1,250 from early position before the player in the big blind moved all in for 14,600. De Melo made the call.

De Melo: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The flop was {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to pair up De Melo to take the lead and the turn bricked the {4-Clubs}. However the river was a brutal {8-Spades} to give her opponent the two-outer for the double up. She's back down to 37,500.

Stacked By Seidel

Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

We just caught Erik Seidel eliminating a short-stacked player who was all in preflop. The at-risk player put just less than 10,000 into the pot with {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, and Seidel was right there with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, dominating and with a chance at a knockout.

The board ran {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}, and that's that. Seidel claims his victim, stacking his chips to move up to 51,000.

Leigh Busts One

We overheard Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh say, "I wanna see it, so I call," as she stuck in the chips to call her opponent's all-in bet. Leigh held the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and her opponent the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop was big for Leigh, coming down {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {10-Diamonds}. Leigh won the hand with her trip kings and eliminated the player. She's now on 95,000 in chips.
