Balasubramanian Makes a Bigger Boat

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Brett Faustman was all in for just over 300,000 and Srinivas Balasubramanian challenged him in the preflop contest.

"I'll need help," Faustman said while rolling over {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

"No, you're good for now," Balasubramanian replied, turning up {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. "I just need a ten," he added.

He would catch two of them on the {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board which gave him tens full at the same time as Faustman made sevens full.

Faustman was headed for payouts while Balasubramanian now guards one of the biggest stack in the room.

O'Flaherty Stacks Flack

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Layne Flack
Layne Flack

A player in middle position raised, Andrew O'Flaherty called from the button, and Layne Flack called for 80,000 to put himself at risk from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the preflop raiser checked. O'Flaherty bet 300,000, the preflop raiser folded, and the two live players tabled their hands.

Andrew O'Flaherty: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Layne Flack: {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

O'Flaherty had the best of it with his flush and Flack stood up to make his exit. The {5-Clubs} turn and {6-Spades} river changed nothing and O'Flaherty took the pot as Flack began to make his way to the payout desk.

Urbanovich Trending Up

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Dzmitry Urbanovich opened to 80,000 in a middle position and he found one caller out of the small blind.

Both players checked the {8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop and Urbanovich fired 100,000 on the {5-Spades} turn. His opponent called and the {4-Clubs} river was checked by both players.

Urabnovich rolled over {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, beating {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} in the showdown. While Urbanovich won a small pot on that hand, he certainly scooped some bigger ones in the previous round, having increased his stack into 2.6 million.

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Michal Maryska
Michal Maryska

With the action picked up on the {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Spades} flop, Michal Maryska jammed his last 190,000 and Robert Covert looked him up.

Maryska flopped two pair with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Covert had a only {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The {10-Clubs} turn gave Covert some chance to deliver a bad beat but the {Q-Diamonds} river stayed with Maryska who doubled up with a superior two-pair hand.

Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

The player under the gun raised to 140,000, Dominik Nitsche called to put himself at risk from the cutoff for 125,000, Robert Cicchelli three-bet from the button, Brett Faustman called from the small blind, and the original raiser folded.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both live players checked.

The turn brought the {A-Diamonds} and Faustman checked. Cicchelli bet what looked like 180,000 and Faustman folded.

Dominik Nitsche: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Robert Cicchelli: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Cicchelli had a lock on the pot with the nut flush and top set and Nitsche had no hope of surviving. After the {9-Clubs} hit the river, Cicchelli took the pot and Nitsche made his exit.

Covert Sends One Packing

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Robert Covert made it 95,000 in early position and a player on the button called off for his last 65,000. The players in the blinds got out of the way, allowing a showdown.

Covert turned up {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and his rival revealed {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The board of {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} left the aces ahead and Covert soared to 1.25 million in chips.
