Tonking Doubles Through Tran

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

After a series of bets and raises before the flop, William Tonking found himself all in and at risk for his last 576,000 against David Tran.

Tonking: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Tran: {J-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board came down {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, ensuring that Tonking's pocket queens would hold as the best hand. Tran shipped a majority of his stack to his opponent and now has about 415,000.

Tonking is now thriving with around 1.165 million in chips.

Fair Finds a Big Double

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Ryan Fair raised to 50,000 on the button, and Matthew Haugen moved all in for effectively 661,000 out of the big blind. Fair snap-called.

Fair: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Haugen: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

There was a brief pause so that the ESPN cameras could get into position before the dealer fanned an all-heart flop: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The {8-Clubs} on the turn pair the board and Haugen reached into his stack for green T25,000 chips, preparing to pay off Fair.

He cut out the stacks after the {7-Hearts} completed the board, and the dealer confirmed Fair's count.

"I almost paid you a hundred dollars to stop getting chips on the turn," Fair told Haugen, smiling.

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Kyle Bowker put Roman Valerstein at risk before the flop in a cutoff-versus-button battle.

Bowker: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Valerstein: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Bowker had plenty of outs after the first four cards came {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and he managed to find one when the {a-Spades} hit the river to give him aces up and the knockout.

John Kabbaj raised to 65,000 from late position and it folded over to Justin Swilling on the button. Swilling announced that he was all in, prompting two quick folds from the blinds. Kabbaj called for his tournament life of roughly 450,000 and the hands were turned up.

Kabbaj: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Swilling: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Swilling paired on the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, giving him the lead in the hand. Kabbaj found no improvement on the {Q-Clubs} turn or the {3-Hearts} river, sending him to the rail. Swilling picked up the pot and now has about 1.12 million.

Michael Finstein led out for 175,000 into a pot of around 275,000 on a board of {5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Vadzim Markushevski tank-called.

The {8-Hearts} completed the board, Finstein fired out one final bullet worth 400,000, and Markushevski made a quick call. Finstein showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a rivered straight, but it was no good against Markushevski's {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush.
