Big Double for McCormick

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

WIth the turn reading {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, Martin Kozlov checked in a middle position and Tom McCormick fired 52,500, presumably a pot-sized bet. McCormick had 71,500 behind and Kozlov stacked chips so that he could put McCormick all in. After about a minute, he put them in and McCormick called right away.

Kozlov: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts}
McCormick: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

McCromick turned a straight but Kozlov could still win, should he hit an ace, seven or a nine. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and McCormick dodged the lethal bullets to score a big double.

"I'm not used to so many chips," he smiled when he started sorting his belongings into proper stacks.

Romero Doubles

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Orlando Romero potted for 66,000 in the small blind after a cutoff open for 15,000 and a button call. Only the player on the button continued and the flop came {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Romero jammed for another 66,000 and received a quick call. His {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades} was still leading for the moment against {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} but he had plenty of cards to dodge. The {7-Hearts} was one of them and Romero moved to exit but the {j-Diamonds} river saved him.

Karapanos and Rocha Hit a Hollywood Board

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Alex Rocha made it 13,000 in the hijack, earning a call from small blind Dario Sammartino. Michail Karapanos squeezed to 55,000 out of the big blind and Rocha moved all in. Sammartino escaped while Karapanos called for his 99,500.

Karapanos: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Rocha: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The dealer rolled out a flop of {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, giving a full house to both players. Karapanos had the top boat so Rocha's kings full were trailing. Rocha, however, still had a chance to seize the pot should he spike the fourth king in the deck or a queen of clubs for a royal flush.

He wouldn't get there on the {5-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river, however, and Karapanos' aces held.

Aranda Raises the Turn

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Noah Schwartz and Nicholas Aranda were in the middle of a battle of the blinds.

Schwartz led out 22,000 on {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} but Aranda pumped the price to 92,000. Schwartz thought about it for a while but ultimately decided to let it go.

Laplante Eliminates Gronning

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, Ryan Laplante bet 22,000 and Lars Gronning was thinking things over from the big blind. He then moved all in for about 75,000 and Laplante was in there with a snap-call holding {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for top set. Gronning was in awful shape with {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} for bottom two. The {9-Spades} turn gave him a chance but the {5-Spades} river didn't do it.

Good Game, Baby

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

Scotty Nguyen was on the button, betting 55,000 in the pot with the {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop out. Layne Flack check-called in the big blind and Thomas Zanot, sitting to Flack's left, folded.

"Good game, baby," Nguyen said before the turn card arrived.

The {10-Diamonds} landed on the table and Flack checked. Nguyen didn't waste a second and moved all in. Flack threw his cards away, showing he had a huge straight draw.

"Anything but a diamond and you would play tomorrow's tournament," Flack joked.

Nguyen showed him his hand in return, exposing the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-}{6-}.

Cavanaugh Doubles Through Mizrachi

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Robert Mizrachi had James Cavanaugh all in preflop and at risk with the former holding {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} and the latter {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Mizrachi took a big lead on {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades} as he held a pair and a flush draw but the {10-Clubs}, {j-Clubs} runout left him staring at the nut straight in disbelief. He sent 30,500 over.
