Soverel Wins Another from Dambrosio

Level 29 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

A completed board of {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} was spread across the felt with just under 30,000 in the middle. James Dambrosio led out for nearly a pot-sized bet of 27,000 and Sam Soverel raised to 70,000.

Dambrosio thought about it for a couple of minutes and then announced a call. Soverel turned over {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a full house and Dambrosio flung his cards to the muck. "So fucking sick!" as he shook his head.

Level 29 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Cord Garcia
Cord Garcia

Blinds 2,000-4,000

Cord Garcia open-jammed for 79,100 effective, as that's what Nick Schulman in the big blind had left. Schulman called and the cards were turned over.

Nick Schulman: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Cord Garcia: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {a-Hearts} appeared right away in the window followed by the {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Schulman already vaulted out of his chair. He would not find any help on the {3-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river, and Garcia advanced to the round of 16.

Clark Takes From Steven

Level 29 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Zachary Clark called a bet by Brandon Steven on the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop for 14,000 and the {5-Spades} appeared on the turn. Steven made it another 37,000 to go and Clark called.

The {8-Clubs} on the river went check, check, and Steven mucked his cards with the words "you got it." Clark only flashed his {9-Spades} and Steven grabbed both his cards to also reveal the {10-Spades}.

Schindler splashed in a bet of 36,000 but this time Hellmuth raised to 126,000. Schindler instantly folded and Hellmuth took over the lead.

Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger

Patrick Leonard got his stack of around 90,000 in preflop and Matthias Eibinger looked him up to create a classic coinflip.

Leonard revealed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Eibinger had two over cards in {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"There it is," Eibinger said when the flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

"Gee gee," Leonard replied and saw the {10-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} river improve Eibinger to quads.

"Let me take a picture, my friend," Leonard joked and took out his smartphone. Eibinger put on a big smile and thumbs up for the "winner shot."

Level 30 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} turn, Boris Kolev fired a second barrel worth 57,800 and Kristen Bicknell made the call. The {4-Diamonds} appeared on the river and Kolev checked, as did Bicknell. Kolev turned over {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Bicknell had that beat with the {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Shortly after, Kolev bet the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop for 5,000 and Bicknell glanced at Kolev's stack before raising to 13,000. Kolev quickly folded and dropped below 100,000.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Dambrosio doubled up.
