JC Tran Straightens Blumenthal

Nicholas Blumenthal raised from the cutoff seat to 18,000 and JC Tran called from the big blind to see the flop come down {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Tran checked and Blumenthal bet 15,000. Tran made the call.

The turn card was the {8-Hearts} and Tran checked again. This time, Blumenthal checked behind to see the river card fall the {3-Spades}.

On the river, Tran fired 36,000 into Blumenthal. After a minute, Blumenthal made the call, but mucked his hand when the {A-Spades}{4-Clubs} was revealed from Tran's hand for a straight.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to see Ahn hit the rail as Bari moves to 680,000 in chips.

Bari Ain't Scared

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Rosskamm opened to 18,00 only to have Marc-David Delimal three-bet to 46,000 from the button.

With the action on Allen Bari in the small blind, he slid in two stacks of chips amounting to a re-raise of 184,000.

Rosskamm quickly passed, and Delimal followed suit as Bari pushed his stack to over 700,000 on one of the final hands of the night.

Bluffing With Aces?

Jonathan Durand opened for 20,000 from middle position and Michael Hahn re-raised to 46,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Durand, who four-bet to 90,000 and change. Hahn tanked for a bit, but landed on a fold.

"Nice Bluff," Hahn said.

Durand let out a laugh and flipped two aces face up.

Lemke Spikes Five to Stay Alive

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Catching the back action of a hand involving Brian Lemke and Jonathan Little, we found Lemke pushing all in following a series of preflop raises as Little made the call.

Lemke: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Little: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop gave the 2009 champion of this very event outs, and when the {5-Spades} spiked on the turn he was ensured a double unless the case ace fell.

Fortunately for Lemke, the {10-Spades} fell on the river to see his 382,000-chip stack double through to over 770,000 as Little slips to 260,000 in chips.
