Ladouceur Knocks One Out

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

The money was all in preflop between Marc-André Ladouceur and his {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and his opponent's {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Ladouceur improved right a way when a king fell on the {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop. His opponent couldn't find any help on the {3-Spades} turn or the {j-Spades} river and was eliminated right before the dinner break.

Sylvia Continues to Climb

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jesse Sylvia

Yasuhiro Ojiri opened to 9,000 from middle position and Jesse Sylvia called from the hijack. The button and cutoff folded to the small blind who moved all in. When action was back on Ojiri, he seemed to have lost interest in the hand and folded. Sylvia, however, called and the hands were tabled.

Sylvia: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Small Blind: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The small blind was all in for 60,500 and there was no help to be found on the {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} board, which sent him to the rail.

Levi's Kings Full Win a Massive Pot

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Nicolas Levi flopped a monster.
Nicolas Levi flopped a monster.

After a flop of {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}, Nicolas Levi, in the small blind, check-raised Rahul Byrraju's bet of 6,000 to 15,500. Byrraju called. A {6-Clubs} came on the turn, and Levi fired 21,000 this time. Byrraju called immediately. The river was a {5-Clubs}, and Levi slowed down with a check. Byrraju announced a bet of 53,000 so fast, it almost seemed like he knew a check was coming. Levi thought briefly before saying, "raise."

One by one, Levi gathered five stacks of yellow chips, and placed some orange T5,000 chips on top. He slid 125,000 into the middle, and Byrraju wasted no time calling. Levi showed {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for kings full, and Byrraju sent his hand into the muck.

Comel Is Collecting Chips

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

The {q-Spades} turn and {q-Clubs} river secured the Comel's opponent fate and he was eliminated from the tournament.
