On the flop, there was a bet from Farzad Bonyadi and a raise from Keith Lehr. The amounts were unknown, but Bonyadi made the call to see the turn.
The turn was the and both players checked to see the fall on the river. Bonyadi was first and led for 16,500. Lehr gave it some thought, but gave it up in the end and Bonyadi won the pot.
Many people may not know that Lehr holds a World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the game featured in this event, Pot-Limit Hold'em. Lehr is from Louisiana and won the $3,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event in 2003 for just over $225,000. He defeated Chris "Jesus" Ferguson heads up for the title at a final table that also included Jeff Rothstein, Erick Lindgren, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott and Fred Berger. In total, Lehr has $903,423 in live tournament earnings.
While Lehr holds one gold bracelet, he's outdone by Bonyadi who holds three of them. The events he won were in 1998, 2004 and 2005. The first was the $2,000 Limit Hold'em event for $429,940. The second was the $1,000 Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw event for $86,980. The third was the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event for $594,960. Bonyadi has over $3.8 million in live tournament earnings and 18 WSOP cashes to his credit.
Nick Binger opened to 2,600 from late position, and Paul Volpe three-bet to 8,000. Binger spent some time in the tank, then committed his last ~23,000 to the pot. Volpe quickly called, and he was well positioned for the knockout.
Showdown
Binger:
Volpe:
There was no funny stuff on the board, and Binger has been sent to the rail.
We watched Bryn Kenney make a small bet on the turn of a board. James Calderaro raised to 18,000, and Kenney had just 26,500 chips total. He quickly committed them, and the call came just as quickly.
"Top set and a diamond," Kenney announced.
"Really?!" replied the frustrated Calderaro. Kenny went ahead and tabled his , and Calderaro's had him stuck in an awful spot with an underset. He was dead to the case ten, and the river relieved him of nearly all his chips.
That remainder got in a short while later on a coin flip, but Calderaro's fell to Ali Eslami's as the board ran out .

A little bit of magic and Levi vanished
Nicolas Levi and Antonio Esfandiari just put it all on the line on a flop of . Esfandiari was holding and Levi . The board ran out and meaning Levi will not be creating back-to-back $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em final table experiences.
A journalist was heard asking Esfandiari whether or not the money went in pre flop or post flop.
"The internet wizards like to get it in pre flop. Us old school pros prefer the post flop route," said Esfandiari.
We joined the action on a flop of with around 5,000 in the pot. The two combatants were Sorel Mizzi (BB) and Pierre Neuville (UTG) and it all kicked off. Mizzi checked, Neuville bet 3,500, Mizzi check-raised to 10,700, Neuville made it 38,500, Mizzi moved all-in for 48,500 and Neuville called.
On your backs gentleman and gentleman.
Mizzi
Neuville
So Neuville needed some help and the and passed him by without as much as an outstretched helpful finger. The dangerous Mizzi moved up to 102,000 and Neuville dropped down to 67,000.
Allen Cunningham and Jon Turner have both been sent off by the lady in one fell swoop. The pot began with Cunningham opening to 2,300, and Turner three-bet to 8,400 — about two-thirds of his stack. Boeree flatted in position, and Cunningham took the opportunity to squeeze in another raise to 29,300. Turner stuck his remaining 4,700 in there, Boeree shoved with her covering stack, and Cunningham called all in for about 40,000 or so.
Showdown
Boeree:
Cunningham:
Turner:
The board ran out blank, coming . Boeree's kings up earn her the pot and the double knockout, and with it comes a chip boost up over the century mark. We eyeball her at about 110,000 as she stacks that pot.
