Duval Busts Two

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

An early position player raised to 2,700 and Jason Duval reraised to 8,800 from middle position. The player on the button 3-bet allin for 15,300 and the big blind also moved all in for 17,300. The early position player folded and Duval made the call.

Duval: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Button: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs} giving Duval a pair but he still needed some more help. The {9-Hearts} turn came and went without changing much but Duval struck gold with the {5-Diamonds} river to make trips and eliminate two players at once.

Shak Has Some Time For Shopping

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We came to the action with a raise in front of Beth Shak and she faced a reraise all in from her opponent. Shak called the all in for less with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and her opponent held {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} giving Shak a better flush draw but she found no help in the {q-Clubs} turn or {k-Clubs} river. Her opponent made a set and eliminated Shak with a little more pocket change than she had when she started the day.

It Appears We Have A Chip Leader

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Dewrat Himatsingka
Dewrat Himatsingka

Dewrat Himatsingka limped from under the gun and a middle position player made it 11,500 to go. Himatsingka moved all in and his opponent called for 22,000.

Himatsingka: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Middle Position: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was kind to Himatsingka as he found one of his two outs. Now it was his opponent looking for help. Unfortunately for him, it didn't come on the {6-Hearts} turn or {q-Hearts} river.

Ladouceur and Crane Tangle

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Marc-Andre Ladouceur raised to 21,000 from middle position and Russell Crain reraised from the cutoff to 4,200. Action folded back to Ladouceur and he made the call.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop.

Ladouceur led for 3,500 on the {6-Clubs} turn and Crane callled.

Ladouceur bet 22,000 on on the {a-Spades} river which was enough to put Crane all in. After some serious thought, Crane winced as he made the call. Crane had {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of aces on the river and that beat Ladouceur's {k-}{5-} for a double up.
