Paur Takes a Big One Preflop From Morgenstern

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

From middle position, Anton Morgenstern opened with a raise to 50,000. Action folded around to the big blind where Taylor Paur raised, making it 190,000 total.

Action was back on Morgenstern and he thought for a bit before making it 500,000 to go and Paur dropped into the tank. He thought for a bit over a minute before moving all in with a covering stack and Morgenstern quickly released his hand.

Paur eclipsed the three million chip mark with that pot.

Arevalo Doubles in Dramatic Fashion

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Under the gun, Vincent Arevalo raised, making it 87,000. Action folded around to middle position where Bart Lybaert raised, making it 200,000. Arevalo quickly announced that he was all in and Lybaert called quickly.

Vincent Arevalo: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Bart Lybaert: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

It looked as if it was going to be a chop pot and the flop came down {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} leaving both players at a stand still. The turn was the {8-Spades} though and that meant that Arevalo could now win the pot outright with a spade river. It was the {A-Spades} that came and that gave Arevalo a flush and allowed him to double up after catching runner-runner to make a flush.
