Lowery Doubles Through Ziskin

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Alexander Ziskin bet 115,000 on an {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop and Randy Lowery shoved all in for 680,000. Ziskin made what looked to be a reluctant call after some thought and indeed his {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} was smashed by {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The turn and river were {k-Diamonds} and {10-Clubs} and Lowery doubled.

Odd Play Leads to an Altman Win

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Brian Altman opened to 110,000 from middle position and Paulo Goncalves called from the big blind. The flop came {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Goncalves checked to Altman who continued for 90,000. Goncalves called and the {a-Spades} landed on the turn.

Goncalves checked again and Altman checked behind. The river brought the {8-Clubs} and Goncalves just open-folded his cards. The dealer was a bit hesitant but still brought them into the muck. Altman shrugged his shoulders and flipped over {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for just nine high, but it earned him the pot.

"What a sick hand," Scott Davies said as the table had a bit of a laugh.

Set for Hecklen Secures His Double

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Andres Jeckeln raised to 125,000, and only Henrik Hecklen called from the big blind. Both players checked on the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, and when the turn came the {j-Clubs}, Hecklen bet 390,000. Jeckeln made the call, and the river brought the {8-Spades}. Hecklen moved all in for 1,150,000 and Jeckeln made the call.

Hecklen tabled {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a set and Jeckeln was made to show his losing hand: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Miles Cuts Out the Four-Bet

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From the hijack, Tony Miles opened to 110,000 and Clayton Fletcher three-bet the small blind to 275,000.

Ognjen Sekularac cold-called in the big blind, and with the action back on Miles, he cut out a four-bet amounting to 1,260,000.

Fletcher hesitated for a little then mucked, as did Sekularac, and Miles dragged the pot to move to nearly 3.5 million in chips.

"History" Between Reard and Dyer?

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Dyer opened to 100,000 and Alexandre Reard called in the small blind.

Reard checked the {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and Dyer bet around 70,000. Reard raised to roughly 260,000. Dyer then three-bet to 500,000 and Reard quickly folded.

"There's got to be history behind that!" said tablemate Alexander Gross marvelling at the hand he'd just witnessed.

Ved Eliminated by O'Donnell

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Kartk Ved moved all in from the cutoff for around 10 big blinds. Shaun O'Donnell called in the big blind.

Kartik Ved: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Shaun O'Donnell: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

O'Donnell had woken up with a monster and he sent Ved to the rail on the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} runout.

Barrell Doubles Through Chun

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Philip Chun was in middle position and had made a big bet on the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop against Mason Barrell on the button, with {5-Diamonds} having turned. The pot was now bloated to about 1.7 million and Chun announced he was all in for Barrell's last 1.3 million. Barrell double-checked his holding and quickly called with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Chun showed a worthless {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, sending a double as the {2-Spades} hit the river.

Amin Doubles Through Kaplin

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Henrik Hecklen raised to 110,000 and Kelly Minkin, Jaime Kaplan, and [Removed:502] all called before the action was on Ahmed Amin in the small blind. Amin three-bet to 625,000 and only Kaplan called.

Heads-up to the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, Amin moved all in for 1,150,000 and Kaplan called.

Ahmed Amin: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Jaime Kaplan: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

Amin was ahead with ace high and also had the nut flush draw. Kaplan had outs, but when the turn came the {k-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Spades}, Amin's double was confirmed.
