Snyder Calls Song to Shift Stacks

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board that read {2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} Stephen Song led out with a bet of 105,000. He got a call from Steven Snyder.

The river was the {q-Clubs}. Song ruffled his chips for about twenty seconds and pushed forward a full stack of chips for a bet of 500,000. Snyder snap called by tossing in the one chip call and showed the best hand with the {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds} to beat Song's {q-Spades}{8-Spades} and tilt the chip balance toward his end of the table.

Turbo Run Good!

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Paawan Bansal opened the action with a raise to 55,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button folded and Phong 'Turbo' Nguyen announced he was all in. The player in the big blind folded and Bansal assessed the situation before sticking the remainder of his chips in the pot.

Paawan Bansal: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Phong 'Turbo' Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Turbo and Bansal found themselves in a classic coin flip situation and the race continued as the dealer turned over a flop of {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, giving Turbo a flush draw to go with his two over cards. The {j-Clubs} turn added more drama, giving Turbo Broadway outs as well. The river was the {q-Spades} and Bansal was unable to fade the world as Turbo improved to Broadway and took down the pot.

"Good game!" said Nguyen. "You gotta win flips to win tournaments!"

With a smile on his face, Bansal agreed and wished Nguyen a nice hand and good luck.

In a pre-flop all in situation Renato Kaneoya's tournament life was at stake with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} up against {j-}{j-} of his opponent who barely had him covered.
