Trey Brabham: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop didn't find an ace for Brabham and Levine got the double.

Tan Takes the Initiative

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

John Pannucci opened to 55,000 in middle position and Lanny Levine called behind and Longsheng Tan came along as well from the big blind.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The {7-Clubs} turn saw Tan check again and Pannucci delayed his continuation, making it 85,000. This prompted Levine to fold but Tan made the call.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Tan changed tack, opting to lead rather than check. He made it 175,000 to see his cards and Pannucci decided to fold.

Tan Brought Down to Earth by Brabham

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Longsheng Tan was the clear chip leader when the players redrew for the unofficial final table, but after tangling with Jason Paradis, he had an encounter with Trey Brabham.

Tan raised to 60,000 and got calls from John Pannucci and Trey Brabham.

The flop {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts} was checked by the three players. Brabham bet 90,000 on the {5-Spades} turn and Tan was the only caller.

The river was the {3-Hearts}. Brabham bet 250,000 and Tan called. Brabham showed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush and took down the pot.

We Have a Showdown

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Players are still 10-handed and it may have something to do with the tentative style of play that has been seen so far. After a few hands that barely made it to the flop, we just witnessed a showdown hand.

Longsheng Tan opened the hijack and only John Pannucci fancied a look, peeling from the big blind.

It fell {9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Pannucci checked to Tan, who continued for 75,000. That was the end of the betting, with neither player opting to commit chips on the {10-Clubs} turn or {5-Clubs} river. Pannucci opened up {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and his top pair was good for the pot.
