The player in the cutoff raised to 850, the button three-bet to 1,850, JJ Liu called in the big blind, the cutoff four-bet to 4,350, the button folded and JJ Liu made the call.
Flop:
Both players checked.
Turn:
JJ Liu bet 13,000 and the cutoff called.
River:
Both players checked and JJ Liu turned over for the flopped set, her opponent mucked his hand and she moved up to 28,000 in chips.
We joined the action on the turn on a board of and approx. 7,000 in the pot. The big blind checked, Jared Hamby moved all-in for 6,000 and the big blind called.
When we last saw the long blonde strands of Lauren Kling she was sitting pretty on a stack of 19,000 chips. She had just been moved to Table #2, two seats away from the gorgeous Nesrine Kourdourli, and the remaining eight men could not have been happier. Then Chris Dombrowski moved into town and Kling triple barrelled 800 (pre), 1,400 (flop), 2,600 (turn) and 12,500 (river) into his open arms and before you could say Rapunzel she was gone. The board was showing (with three diamonds flop/turn) and Dombrowksi check-called all three streets holding . The net result is a 38,000 chip stack for Dombrowksi and nothing but reflective thinking for Kling.
Somewhere else in this vast cauldron of activity Faraz Jaka has just won a 1,000 flip to move up to 34,000 v .
The action folded around to the player on the button who bet 600 and Tony Dunst called in the big blind. The flop was and Dunst check-called a 550 button bet. Moving onto the turn and Dunst decided to change tact and lead. He bet 900 and the button called. Finally the popped up on the river and Dunst bet 2,225. The player on the button called and then mucked his hand when he saw the of Dunst.
We are currently fifteen-minutes into Level 8 and with 620 players left let us give you some news from the Silver section of the Brasilia Room.
In 2010, Mark Radoja same so close to winning his first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he finished in 3rd spot in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event. Then last year Radoja finally reached his goal - and slipped on the gold - when he won the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout event. Moving on to 2012 and he very nearly won back-to-back WSOP bracelets when he finished runner-up in Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed. So Radoja is on fire, but when we joined his table the heat was almost extinguished, and then this happened.
The player in the hijack raised to 750 and the button and small blind made the call. Radoja was seated in the big blind with 4,275 chips and he pushed them into the middle. The hijack made the call and we were heads-up to the flop with Radoja at risk of elimination.

Robert Deppe raised to 600 in mid-position, Tayfeh called in the cutoff, as did Craig McCorkell on the button and Nesrine Kourdourli in the big blind. Four people shared a flop that contained more hearts than a card on Fathers day - . The action checked around to Tayfeh and he bet 1,250 and only McCorkell showed the interest to proceed to fourth street. The was next and this time Tayfeh check-called a 2,900 McCorkell bet. Finally we had the and Tayfeh mouthed the words, "all-in," and McCorkells hand was all-out!
"Don't report that hand," said McCorkell (whoops-a-daisy)
