Sanders Wins One Off Cartwright

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Adam Sanders raised to 14,000 from under the gun with the cutoff and Kyle Cartwright, from the big blind, coming along.

Cartwright checked the {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and Sanders continued for 20,000. The player in the cutoff folded and Cartwright called.

Cartwright check called 35,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn and both players checked the {4-Diamonds} river.

When the hands were tabled Cartwright showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Sanders had {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the better pair.

Diaz Doubles Again

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Gilbert Diaz has just doubled up for the second time this orbit and is now among the chip leaders in Event #18.

"All-in and a call," said the dealer on table Blue 444 and we dashed to see who had their tournament life on the line. It was Diaz who was the all in and the player at risk, the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} needing to hit against the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} of Dominik Nitsche. And hit it di as the flop came down {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

"Yes Papa! Yes Papa!" exclaimed Diaz as he stood from his seat.

The turn and river were the {Q-Clubs} and {Q-Hearts} and with that Diaz doubled to 220,000.

Nitsche Has It

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We heard the words "all in" and "call" and ran over to the table to see Dominik Nitsche turn over {8-Spades}{9-Spades} on a board of {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a straight. He eliminated his opponent and keeps growing his stack.

Diaz Doubles Through Paur

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Taylor Paur: Just lost a third of his stack
Taylor Paur: Just lost a third of his stack

Gibert Diaz has just doubled through the dangerous Taylor Paur and seems rather delighted with that fact.

Shannon Shorr opened to 12,000 and next to act was Paur. He peeked at his cards before three-betting to what looked like 31,000 but before we had time to double check the amount Gilbert Diaz had moved all in, Shorr mucked and Paur called to put Diaz at risk of elimination.

Paur: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Diaz: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Diaz was in bad shape because his hand was dominated by that of Paur. Neither player improved on the {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, but Diaz was catapulted into the lead when the {Q-Clubs} landed on the turn.

"OUI!" bellowed Diaz as he took the lead in the hand.

The {4-Diamonds} river completed the hand and with that Diaz doubled to 160,000.

Once the hand was over, Diaz raised his hand and apologised for his over enthusiastic celebration.

Long Gets Double From Hui

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Phillip Hui and Casey Long got all the money in with Hui holding {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Long holding {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Long held the lead when the flop came {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}. He closed out the hand on the turn with the {k-Clubs}. The other {k-Spades} on the river insured the fact that Long got the double.

He is now at 177,000 while Hui now has 230,000.

Shorr Wastes No Time

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

On the first hand back from dinner, Shannon Shorr called an all in with {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} and was racing against his opponent's {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. The board came {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Shorr made a better pair to eliminate his opponent in 36th place.

Shorr and Paur Exchanging Chips

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Taylor Paur
Taylor Paur

In a very similar situation to the last hand Shannon Shorr and Taylor Paur were involved in together, they found themselves all in after a mini-raising war preflop, only this time it was Paur at risk.

Shannon Shorr: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Paur: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and it was noticed the after the {k-Spades} came on the turn that a queen on the river would give Shorr the win. It was not to be this time when the {3-Hearts} came on the river to move the chips over to Paur this time.
