Thai Ha

On the {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop, it was Philip Albuquerque who bet out 75,000 after two checks.

Kfir Nahum raised to 225,000 and Thai Ha called the bet. Albuquerque folded.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and this time Nahum put out a bet of 315,000, only to be called by Ha again.

On the {9-Spades} river, Nahum put out a small bet of 100,000 and Ha called a third time.

Nahum showed {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, but Ha opened up {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a two pair.

Double Knockout for Rich

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Benjamin Broutee moved all in for 312,000 from under the gun. It folded around to Adam Porter in the cutoff and he re-shoved all-in for 677,000. With the action on Reagan Rich in the small blind he moved all-in for about 2,000,000 and the big blind folded.

Rich: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Porter: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Broutee: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Rich was holding the best of it with his pocket jacks and two players at risk. The {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop improved Rich to top set and although Broutee picked up a gutshot straight draw the turn {3-Hearts} and river {6-Hearts} were no help.

Rich sent both players to the rail and chipped up to 3,000,000 just before the last break of the night.

Liu Fires Big on the River

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

We missed the pre-flop action, but Liu and his opponent checked on the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop.

They both checked again on the {3-Clubs} turn, but on the {2-Hearts} river Liu decided to bet big.

Liu pushed a stack worth 400,000 to the middle and after a short tank, his opponent decided to match the bet with a call.

Liu opened up {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a flopped full house and said to his opponent: "I sure got lucky in that hand!"

Margereson Doubles Through Ha

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of {Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} with about 250,000 in the middle. Action checked all the way around.

The {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn and two players checked to Scott Margereson in middle position. He bet 175,000, Thai Ha called from the hijack, and the other two folded.

The river brought the {10-Clubs} and Margereson shoved for 473,000, sending Ha into the tank. After about a minute, Ha called with a covering stack. Margereson quickly tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and his aces were best, so he took the pot to double up.

Nahum Doubles with Jacks

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

It folded around to the player on the button who raised to 70,000 and Kfir Nahum re-raised to 170,000 from the small blind. With the action on the big blind he moved all in for about 1,200,000.

The button quickly folded and Nahum went deep into the tank. He eventually made the call for his last 750,000 and they turned over the hands.

Nahum: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Big Blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The dealer spread the {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and Nahum flopped jacks full of threes to leave his opponent all but drawing dead. The turn {2-Spades} and river {9-Clubs} sealed the deal for Nahum who let out a fist pump in the direction of his rail before he dragged in the pot.
