Badmayev Stays Alive

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A player in early position limped in, and a player in late position raised to 8,000. Oleg Badmayev, in the small blind, pushed all in for nearly 30,000. The limper counted out his chips before coming back over the top all in. The original raiser released his hand.

Badmayev: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and the turn was a {7-Clubs}. Badmayev could now chop the pot if a five or ten hit the board. He did better than that though, as a {q-Clubs} fell on the river, leaving him with the best hand and a double up. The original raiser said he folded {10-}{10-}.

Dunst Chipping Up

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We arrived at the table on the turn to see Tony Dunst check the turn with board reading {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The only other player in the hand also checked, and the river brought the {3-Diamonds}. Dunst then led out with a bet for 15,000. His opponent thought for a minute before folding.

Dunst has been steadily climbing today, and now has 108,000 in chips.

Ramdin Takes a Beat

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Victor Ramdin called a preflop raise of 4,500, as did one other player. Both players checked to Ramdin on the {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop, and he bet 6,000. The first player folded, and the preflop raiser shipped it for 38,200. Ramdin wasted little time before calling.

Ramdin: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponents: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Ramdin was way in front, but that changed in a hurry when the {10-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn. A {q-Clubs} was of no use to Ramdin on the river, and he was forced to double his opponent up.

Bunal Lives to Fight Another Hand

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Florencio Bunal put in a large raise from under the gun, to 14,000. Action folded to Matt Matros in the big blind, who moved all in with a covering stack. Bunal thought for a minute, then reluctantly folded, showing {k-Spades}{q-Spades} as he did so. Matros declined to show his cards as well, but said he would have been ahead if Bunal had called.

Bunal is now quite short stacked, with only 28,000 in front of him. Matros climbs to 145,000.

Petros Drags a Massive

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Zennawi Petros fired 16,000 on the turn with the board reading {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} after an opponent in the blinds checked to him. His opponent called, and the river came {5-Hearts}. Petros' opponent once again checked, and Petros jammed for just over 40,000. His opponent called without much delay, and Petros rolled over {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for three jacks. His opponent mucked his hand, and Petros has vaulted to the top of the leaderboard.

Dan Murariu Leaps to the Top

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In the first hand after break, Dan Murariu three-bet over the initial raiser, who then moved all-in. Murariu called, and turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. The stacks were pretty close to even, so whichever player lost would either be eliminated or crippled. The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and Murariu's pocket kings won the pot.

After the dealer counted out the stacks, it turned out Murariu just barely had his opponent covered. After scoring the bustout and nearly doubling up, Murariu sits with 160,000. He's now near the top of the leader board.

Ramdin Doubles

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We found Victor Ramdin all in with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} against the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} of a player who was in early position. Ramdin had found no help by the turn, as the board read {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Only an ace or jack would help him on the river, and the dealer burned and turned over the {a-Spades}.

"There we go," Ramdin said.
