With around 28,000 in the pot and a board reading , Stephen Chidwick and Ranj Sheena created a monster pot that resulted in the latter being all in for right around 60,000.
Showdown
Sheena:
Chidwick:
Sheena was ahead with deuces and queens, but needed to dodge a diamond on the river to stay alive. That's exactly what he did as the blanked on the river.
We caught Gavin Smith moving all in on a flop holding and coming up against the of an opponent. The player in question had led out with a small bet, and Smith shoved over the top for around 26,000. The player called and Smith was at risk.
The on the turn was exactly what Smith was looking for and with a brick on the river, Smith took down the double up to sit with a much healthier stack.
We're not quite sure of the betting action, but we do know that Sam Stein and Artem Kobylynskyi created a monster 150,000 pot by getting all the chips in preflop.
Showdown
Stein:
Kobylynskyi:
Apparently Stein tanked for a long time and called after Kobylynskyi offered, "I'll show you." Whatever the case, it was a big flip for a lot of chips. It looked like the call would pay off for Stein as the flop fell to give him a set, but the turn did give Kobylynskyi a flush draw. Wouldn't you know it, the spiked on the river to complete the draw and devastate Stein, who would be eliminated a few hands later.
