Davis Pots The Flop

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

After limping under the gun, Raymond Davis called a 10,800 chip pot bet from Manuel Bevand from the cutoff.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and instantly, Davis put out a pot sized bet for 25,200.

Bevand went into the tank for at least a minute before throwing his hand into the muck.

"Don't worry, I had it," Davis said after the hand. He quickly showed Bevand three cards that we could not see before mucking his hand.

After that, Davis has one of the biggest stacks in the room with just under 200,000 chips.

Woodward One-Outer to Exit

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Matt Woodward
Matt Woodward

In a battle of the blinds we found Matt Woodward and Vladimir Shchmelev committing 22,500 each before the {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop was spread by the dealer.

Woodward checked and Shchmelev bet out 20,000 before Woodward called all-in for roughly that amount.

Woodward: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Shchmelev: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

With Woodward holding a virtual lock on the high with his flopped full house, the {5-Diamonds} on the turn would give Shchmelev a low.

However it would be the devastating {A-Hearts} on the river that would see the whole pot over to Shchmelev as Woodward would be forced to make a nasty exit to the rail after being hit with Shchmelev's one-outer.

ODB Doubles On the Bubble

David Baker

After a raise of 7,000 from Zhen Cai, David Baker moved all in over the top for about 16,000 more. Action folded back to Cai who went into the tank.

"This is the worst hand I've played all tournament," Cai said.

"Feel free to throw it away," Baker replied. "I know I've got you crushed so just pitch it so we can stop wasting time."

"Well, I guess this is how you win tournaments," Cai said before finally tossing in a call.

Cai: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Baker: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

"Wow, you do have me crushed," Cai said to Baker upon seeing the hands.

The board rolled out {Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} giving Baker the a sixty-four low and a pair of threes for the win, doubling him up just a few eliminations away from the payout spots.
