Le's Check-Raise Shove Puzzles Saffari

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nam Le raised to 3,500 from middle position and Sebastian Saffari called from the next seat along. Nobody else wanted to tangle with the active duo, meaning it was heads-up to the {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

Le made a continuation bet of 4,100 and Saffari called. The dealer burned a card before setting the seemingly innocuous {2-Spades} onto the turn. Le checked its arrival and Saffari took up the role of aggressor, setting the price to play at 7,500. Le leaned over to get a view of Saffari's stack, before sitting back in his seat and announcing he was all-in.

Saffari went deep into the tank for over two minutes, before finding a fold.

In the aftermath of the hand, Saffari said he had a pair and was puzzled as to what hand range Le, a man with $6.8 million in live tournament winnings, would be check-raising all-in with on the board.

Gratenko Wins Massive Pot; Moves Near 100,000 in Chips

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We didn't see the hand play out, but the board showed {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Oleksandr Gratenko had {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} in front of him and a massive pot was being pushed his way. According to a player at the table, his opponent had {10-}{10-}. Presently, the Ukrainian-born Gratenko sits with 95,000 in chips. His best recorded live tournament cash is $3,500, so he is well on his way to topping that.

Gimbel Is Gone

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Harrison Gimbel has busted, moving all-in with {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and losing out to {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} when an ace landed on the flop and the turn.

Champion Knocked Out

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ryan Riess pushed his last two big blinds into the middle from middle position with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the big blind called with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

A final board reading {K-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} was of no help to Riess, who stood up and walked toward the exits.

"Aren't you going to get paid," asked one of Riess' former table mates. Riess laughed and made the walk to register his finish.
