Gionni Demers
Gionni Demers

Nelson Robinson opened for 140,000 from early position, then Gionni Demers reraised all in for 1.435 million from the button. It folded back to Robinson who made the call.

Robinson had {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} while Demers tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The flop arrived {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, pairing Robinson once but Demers twice. The turn was the {J-Clubs}, giving Robinson a second pair as well, but the {9-Diamonds} river meant the pot belonged to Demers.

Demers moves to about 3 million, while Robinson has 5.85 million.

Huynh Takes Some Off Moutinho

Our last woman standing, Erika Moutinho, raised to 140,000 under the gun and received a single call in the form of Tri Huynh in middle position. Moutinho kept the pressure on with a 260,000 bet on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, Huynh called, and the {K-Hearts} appeared on the turn.

Both players decided to check, the {9-Spades} hit the river, and Moutinho fired out 375,000. Huynh snap-called and showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a straight, which was good against the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} of Moutinho.

Silvestri Doubles; Gets One-Round Penalty

Philipp Gruissem raised to 130,000 from middle position and was met with an all-in reraise to 460,000 by Mario Silvestri on the button. The blinds got out of the way and action was back on Gruissem. He thought for a few moments before saying, "I have a really bad hand."

At that point, Silvestri flipped over his {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. "What are you doing?" asked Gruissem.

"I thought you said call," Silvestri responded with a bit of confusion in his voice. After seeing his opponent's hand, that is exactly what Gruissem did.

Showdown
Gruissem: {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Silvestri: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Gruissem knew he'd be flipping if he called, so he obviously decided it was a good time to race. The {9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop kept Silvestri ahead, as did the {Q-Clubs} turn. In order to eliminated his opponent, Gruissem needed to catch either a king or six on the river. Luckily for Silvestri, the {5-Hearts} appeared an he doubled.

On the flip side of things, Silvestri also received a one-round penalty for prematurely exposing his cards.

Mozhnyakov Over Kaplan

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Aleksandr Mozhnyakov opened with a raise from under the gun to 130,000, and it folded around to Gregory Kaplan in the big blind who reraised to 275,000. Mozhnyakov made the call.

The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Kaplan checked, Mozhnyakov bet 375,000, and Kaplan called. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and another check from Kaplan. Mozhyakov bet 1.8 million this time, and Kaplan went deep into the tank. Finally Mozhyakov called the clock, and eventually Kaplan let his hand go.

Afterwards, Kaplan offered Mozhyakov $100 to get him to show, but Mozhyakov grinned as he refused. He did, however, show his cards to the portable hole card camera, noting "you will see soon" to his opponent.

Mozhyakov has 7.9 million now, while Kaplan slips to 1.8 million.

Chips for Devo

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Bryan Devonshire who opened to 140,000 on the button. Ben Lamb defended his big blind, and the flop fell {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Lamb checked, Devonshire continued for 165,000, and Lamb called.

River Saves Moutinho

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

First to act from under the gun, Tri Huynh raised to 150,000 and it folded to Erika Moutinho on the button who made it 350,000 to go. The blinds stepped aside, and Huynh responded with a reraise to 2.15 million -- almost all of what Moutinho had left. She reraised her entire stack of 2.23 million, and Huynh called.

Huynh: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Moutinho: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}, providing Moutinho some outs for a straight to go along with her overcards. But the turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and the lone woman left in the field was down to her final card.

The dealer burned one and turned over the river -- the {A-Hearts}! Moutinho survived, and now has 4.62 million. Huynh, meanwhile, slips to 3.89 million.
