Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We caught up on the river of a big multiway pot on a {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} board. Owais Ahmed was all in and showed {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades} for a queen high flush and a weak low. However both of his hands were bested by Matthew Woodward who turned over {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a higher flush and better low. Ahmed was eliminated while Woodward chipped up to 59,000.

A Perfect River for Phan

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

A hand developed between 2010 $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship Runner-Up Vladimir Shchemelev and John Phan.

With the board reading {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}Phan in middle position opened the turn for 2000, Shchemelev on the button raised to 4000 and Phan called.

The river came {9-Diamonds}, Phan bet 2000, Shchemelev raised, and Phan put in a third bet to make it 6000. Shchemelev seemed hesitant to do so, but made the call.

Phan showed {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for the rivered nut straight. Shchemelev looked disgusted as he mucked and the hand put Phan up around 27,000

To Hull and Back

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Andy Seth limped preflop before Ben Landowski made it 2,000 to go with Henry Hull, Jeff Lisandro and Seth all making the call to see a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Hull led out for 1,000 and Lisandro called before Seth made it two bets only for Landowski to make it three bets. Lisandro folded but Seth and Hull both called to see the {Q-Spades} turn. This time Hull fired out 2,000 and Seth and Landowski both called to see the {9-Clubs} river.

Hull fired 2,000 once more and this time elicited two folds from his opponents to boost his own stack to 35,000.

Lisandro Avoids Elimination to Chip Up

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We caught up with the action on a {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop between Henry Hull, Jeff Lisandro and Matthew Wood. Hull bet and got raised by Lisandro. Wood three bet and Hull called. Lisandro answered back by moving all in and both players called. On the {5-Hearts} turn, Hull bet and Wood called. On the {8-Hearts} river, Hull checked and now Wood moved all in. Hull made the call and the players turned up their cards:

Lisandro: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Wood: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Hull: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Lisandro’s full house and low were good enough for half of the three way main pot while the other two chopped the side pot.

Lisandro has almost doubled up his starting stack for the day and is up to around 11,000.

Double Knockout for Brooks to Start the Day

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We didn’t catch most of the action, but Zachary Brooks scored a double knockout to start his Day 2 off strong.

Glen Engelbert was all in preflop and Ender Ozkan got it all in on the turn with Brooks covering both.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Brooks managed to scoop the whole massive pot with his {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for two pair. He has now chipped up to 41,000 and is having a very strong start to his day.
