Kaplan Wins by Runner-Runner Counterfeit

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Jaime Kaplan in the cutoff, and he pushed all in for 580,000. Then Simon Lam raised all in for 895,000, and the blinds both folded. Kaplan turned over {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and Lam was ahead with his {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, no help to either player. The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and the river completed the board with the {a-Spades}, putting two pair on board and counterfeiting Lam's pocket sixes. Kaplan won the pot with his eight kicker.

Coleman Gets the Maxx With Top Set

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Maxx Coleman
Maxx Coleman

Maxx Coleman raised to 80,000 in early position, Robert Sichelstiel called in middle position, and Clement Tripodi defended his big blind. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Tripodi checked, and Coleman continued for 140,000. Sichelstiel raised to 640,000, Tripodi folded, and Coleman moved all in for 1.785 million. Sichelstiel tanked for a bit, then made the call.

Coleman: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Sichelstiel: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Coleman had flopped top set, and was in great shape to double. The {q-Spades} on the turn was a great card for Sichelstiel, giving him four chop outs and four more outs to eliminate Coleman. Coleman survived as the {3-Hearts} bricked off on the river, and Coleman raked in a massive pot to push his stack to 3.9 million chips.

Sichelstiel plummeted to 510,000.

Johnson Eliminated

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson

From late position Chris Johnson shoved his last 140,000 into the middle and Mark Newhouse made the call from the big blind.

Johnson: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}
Newhouse: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Johnson would be up against virtually the same hand that crippled him earlier, and when the board was spread {10-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, he would be forced to head to the rail as Newhouse climbed to 1,520,000 in chips.

River Gives Glazier Huge Double Through Johnson

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier

We came on yet another huge hand — and really, most of them are huge here late on Day 5 of the World Series of Poker Main Event — this one pitting Jackie Glazier and Chris Johnson.

The hand began with a button raise from Glazier that was called by Johnson in the small blind. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and Johnson check-called a bet of 375,000 from Glazier.

The turn then brought the {8-Spades} to pair the board. Johnson checked and Glazier announced she was betting all in. A lengthy count of her chips revealed her bet to be for 1.52 million, and Johnson tanked for a few minutes before finally making the call.

Johnson showed {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Glazier {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and with one card to come Glazier needed to hit an ace, a ten or a diamond to survive. The dealer then pounded the felt, burned a card, and delivered the river… the {10-Hearts}!

The large crowd on the rail exploded with shouts at the sight of the card while Johnson sat stoically. Eventually a many-years-later reprise of the "Aussie-Aussie-Aussie Oy-Oy-Oy" chant (a memorable part of 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem's run) erupted as Glazier's supporters could barely contain their excitement.

That hand catapults Glazier up around 4 million while Johnson swiftly drops down to about 140,000.

Ortiz' All In Takes Down the Pot

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Pedro Fernandez opened to 90,000 from the hijack, and was called by Jay Farber in the small blind. Fabian Ortiz then looked down at his cards from the big blind, before raising it up to 265,000.

Fernandez paused for a moment before making the call. Farber then made the call as well, as the three saw the flop come {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Farber checked, before Ortiz moved all in for 1,185,000 in chips.

Fernandez tanked over his decision for over a minute, before releasing his hand. Farber followed shortly after, as Ortiz took down the pot.
