Hand #60: Ausmus Chipping Up

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Andras Koroknai started the hand with the button. Jeremy Ausmus opened to 800,000 from middle position, Jesse Sylvia called in the hijack seat, and the action behind folded. Shaun "The Dealer" Harris fanned {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Ausmus led out for a cool million. Sylvia called.

The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and Ausmus fired another bullet worth 2.4 million. Sylvia mucked, and Ausmus picked up the pot.

Hand #65:

The button was on Greg Merson to start this hand. Action folded to Jesse Sylvia in the small blind, and he raised all in against Robert Salaburu's big blind. Salaburu quickly called to put himself at risk with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Sylvia held the {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Salaburu stood with one knee on his chair, looking relatively uncomfortable in anticipation. Sylvia made his way over to quickly chat with his rail before returning to his seat.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and Salaburu stayed in front. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, then the river completed the board with the {Q-Hearts}, and the Penn & Teller Theatre exploded with Sylvia's rail going absolutely bonkers. Salaburu shook the hands of his competitors before bowing out the door in eighth place.
