Hand-For-Hand Play

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Hand-for-hand play has been announced, which prompted the yell of "NOOOOOOOOO!" from one of the players. Regardless of what he wants, players are now on the money bubble.

Ari Engel Makes a Tough Call as the Bubble Aprroaches

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a board of {8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} a player had put out a bet of 5,600 with only Ari Engel left to act. It would cost Engel one fourth of his stack to call. Eventually after a spell in the tank, Engel threw in the chips for the call. His opponent nodded his head and slowly turned over his {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for just a pair of eights. Engel turned up his {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for second pair and it was good to take down the pot.

The call prompted a lot of "Wow"s from the table as it was a tough spot for Engel to call especially with only 10 players left to bust before the bubble burst.

Failla Gets Rivered

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player under the gun raised to 1,700 and action folded all the way around to Will Failla in the big blind. He called.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {6-Clubs} on the turn. On the turn, Failla bet 2,000 and was called by his opponent.

The river came the {5-Clubs} and Failla checked. The player under the gun and reached for chips for a bet abd before he could even make it, Failla prepared a call. The player ended up bett 4,700 which Failla called instantly.

The under the gun player turned up {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Failla mucked. After the hand Failla could be heard mumbling about it being "one hell of a river card."

Engel Can't Get Over The Hills

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Andy Hills raised to 1,700 preflop. He found one call from Ari Engel in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and both players checked to see a {2-Spades} on the turn. On the turn, Engel fired 2,100 and Hills just called behind.

The river card came the {8-Clubs} and both players checked again. As he checked Hills announced "Nine," while tabling his {a-Spades}{9-Spades}. Engel mucked his cards.

Niall Farrell Challenging Matt Matros for the Chip Leadership

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

When we came to Niall Farrell's table he had put his opponent all in on a board of {10-}{2-}{q-}{2-}{5-}. After thinking about it for some time, his opponent called but mucked when Farrell showed {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for three of a kind.

After that hand Farrell began stacking his huge tower which looked to be above 90,000 chips.
