Bernstein Bests Online Stars "XTheDecanoX" & "ragen70"

Thiago "XTheDecanoX" Nishijima raised to 3,500 from early position and was called by Sven Niklas "ragen70" Heinecker. Samuel Bernstein then opted for a three-bet to 11,000 from the small blind, which both his opponents called.

When the flop fell {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Bernstein simply moved all in and both Nishijima and Heinecker folded.

For those unfamiliar with Nishijima, a 33-year-old online pro from São Paulo, Brazil, we recommend you check out his recent PokerNews interview.

Cheong Binks Flush to Double

Alexander Kuzmin opened for 3,500 from under-the-gun and action folded around to Michael Fosco in the hijack, who made the call. Directly behind him in the cutoff, Joseph Cheong went all in for 44,900. It was folded back around to Kuzmin, who called. Fosco got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Cheong: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Kuzmin: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} board left Cheong with a flush draw. The {Q-Spades} turn missed for Cheong, however, the {5-Hearts} river gave him the winning flush and he doubled through (and then some) to 100,000.

Glazier Hurting

Jackie Glazier was under the gun plus one when she shoved her stack of a little more than 25,000 into the middle. The play was then folded around to Kenneth Elnlger on the button and he thought long and hard before making the call (Glazier had Elnlger covered). With the blinds out of the way, the two players turned their hands over.

Elnlger: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Glazier: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Up until the turn, the {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board was great for Glazier, but the {a-Spades} on the river would leave her crippled with under 10,000 in chips, while Elnlger doubled up.

Duhamel vs. "The Thrill"

Will Failla
Will Failla

Will "The Thrill" Failla opened for 3,500 from early position and was met with a three-bet to 8,400 by Jonathan Duhamel in the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way, Failla called the additional 4,900, and it was heads-up to the {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop.

Failla ended up check-calling a bet of 8,200 before leading out for 7,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn. Duhamel thought for a moment before tossing his cards to the muck.

"I had the flop and the turn," Failla said. "Ace-king."

"Nuts?" Duhamel asked and received a positive response. "I had queens."

Garcia Eliminates Both Glazier and Heinz

We noticed both Pius Heinz and Jackie Glazier get up from their seats and rushed over to find out what had happened. According to the table, a short-stacked Pius Heinz open-pushed all in with {A-}{J-} and action folded around to Andres Garcia in the cutoff, who re-raised with {A-}{Q-}. It was then folded around to Jackie Glazier in the big blind, who called all in for her last three big blinds with {8-}{2-}.

The board came with an ace and Garcia knocked both Heinz and Glazier out with his pair of aces and queen kicker.

Duhamel Loses Some More

Folded to Jonathan Duhamel in the small blind, he simply made the call. Rocky Rule then checked out of the big blind and a {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Spades} flop was dealt. Duhamel took his time to lead for 3,300 and Rule made the call.

On the{k-Clubs} turn, Duhamel again led, this time for 7,200. Rule then quickly shoved all in, which was too strong for Duhamel as he sent his cards into the muck and the chips away from his stack.
