Deeb Clawing Back

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Shaun Deeb opened with a raise to 35,000 from middle position and the player in the hijack decided to three-bet, making it 85,000. Action folded back to Deeb and he called.

The flop was {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Deeb checked over to his opponent who tossed out a bet of 100,000. Deeb thought for a few moments, then he moved all in for 385,000. His opponents took a few seconds but then pushed his cards away, allowing Deeb to take down the pot and chip back up to nearly 700,000.

Loc Nguyen: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The {3-Hearts} turn and {10-Diamonds} river kept Nguyen best for a double.

Davidoff Folds the River, Busts After

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

On the tail end of a board of {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Ludovic Geilich bet 275,000 and Mark Davidoff gave it some thought with just over 100,000 chips behind. Eventually, he folded and Geilich raked in the pot without showdown.

Soon after, Chou Chou raised in late position for 35,000 and Davidoff jammed for 103,000 in the cutoff. Chou called after brief consideration and they turned over the following cards for the showdown.

Mark Davidoff: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Chou Chou: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop improved Chou, and the {3-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river brought no help for Davidoff.

Cannuli Spikes an Eight on the River to Survive

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Tom Cannuli
Tom Cannuli

Tom Cannuli got his stack of 177,000 all in preflop holding {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of his opponent. The dealer fanned the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and the player paired his ace in the window to take control of the hand.

The turn {2-Spades} was no help to Cannuli and would need only an eight on the river to stay alive.

The {8-Clubs} hit the river and Cannuli rocketed out of his chair in excitement as he spiked the two-outer to keep his WSOP Main Event hopes alive.

Lutz Puts Loosli in the Tank

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We arrived at the table to find Thomas Lutz all in on a board reading {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The action was on Sylvain Loosli on the button and it appeared it had been that way for some time.

The players at the table were starting to stand up and stretch while Loosli thought about his decision. The all-in amount was 280,000, which would be about a third of Loosli's stack. After another few minutes, Loosli finally laid his hand down and Lutz dragged in the pot.

Gonçalves Holds For a Near Double

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

According to Justin Harvell, a player opened from early position with a raise to 35,000 before Harvell flatted from the cutoff. Paulo Gonçalves was in the big blind and he called as well.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Gonçalves checked. The early-position player put out a bet of 55,000, which Harvell quickly folded to. Action was back on Gonçalves and he check-raised, making it 200,000. The other player then moved all in and Gonçalves dropped into the tank, thinking for several minutes before deciding to call.

Paulo Gonçalves: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board bricked out with the {2-Spades} and the {3-Clubs} and that meant that Gonçalves would collect the pot, eliminating his opponent in the process and earning him a near double-up.
