Eslami Cannot Get There

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

Gualter Salles raised to 4,200 from early position and two seats over, Ali Eslami three-bet to 10,700. Salles asked his opponent how much he started the hand with and then made the call once he got the reply, "about 42,000." On the {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, Eslami pushed all in, but 100 chips to the middle of the table and Salles called, turning over his cards in {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The dealer was at first confused but Salles asked, "What's the matter, he only got 100 chips behind?" The dealer then fanned the {9-Diamonds} turn and Salles threw in a chip. Eslami called off and showed {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. His flush draw would not complete as the {K-Clubs} river was none of his outs.

Only a few seconds later, Joshua Rotenberg headed to the payout desk.

Germany Scores Again

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

After the humiliating 4-0 victory over Portugal at the World Cup in Brazil earlier today, there are some Germans left in today's field, and one of them just doubled up. Adil Sbai got his last 46,900 in preflop with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and was looked up by {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop gave him top set and the runner-runner suckout would not show up, as the {4-Spades} turn and the {Q-Diamonds} river completed the board.

Mandic Hungry for Chips

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

Goran Mandic had just finished eating a healthy looking lunch, but it looked like he was looking for some dessert as he opened the pot from early position and faced a three-bet to 9,400.

Mandic stared his opponent down and reached back to his stack for more chips, throwing out a raise of his own to 22,000. The stare down was resumed and his opponent decided to let go of his hand.

Givens and Takens

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

Adam Balint moved all in from middle position for what looked like 25,000 and the button moved all in for 46,000. Will Givens in the big blind called all in for 39,500 and held the best hand in {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} against the {A-}{3-} of the Hungarian and the {9-}{9-} of the button. The {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board ran out safely for Givens and he is back to the stack from an hour ago.

Finger Keeps On Trying

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

The action folded to Martin Finger in the small blind and he raised to 5,000, the player in the big blind called. On the {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop, Finger check-raised from 7,000 to 16,000 and then quickly folded when his opponent moved all in.

One hand later, Sean Jazayeri raised from the hijack and Shelby Standley one seat over three-bet to 12,500. Jazayeri called and both checked down the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board. Standley announced "sevens" for a pair of sevens but Jazayeri had that beat with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. It looks like he is now the current chip leader.

Meet Dutch

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Dutch Boyd
Dutch Boyd

Dutch Boyd opened for 4,000 and got raised by the small blind to 11,300 after some deep thought. Boyd looked him up and down and made the call.

The flop was {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The small blind checked and Boyd cut out 11,300 and made the bet. The fold came a lot quicker than the three-bet abd Boyd gathered the chip.

His neighbour at the table had been chatting to him for most of the level and finally introduced himself a short time later and they shook hands. “Dutch.” Boyd replied.

“Dutch Boyd? I knew you were better than me.” his new friend exclaimed.

Marshak Cracks Aces Again

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We have lost Daniel Hicks, Adam Semple and Patrick Barth in a matter of minutes. In the case of Barth, it was a cruel two-outer and once again Stuart Marshak was responsible for cracking pocket aces.

After a raise to 4,200, Marshak three-bet to 12,000 and then called the all in of his almost even stacked opponent with pocket queens. A queen on the flop gifted him yet another two-outer to place him well above average.
