Zack Check-Raise-Folds

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dan Zack was in the big blind, competing against a player on his left with {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} on the flop. Zack checked, his opponent fired 28,000, and Zack raised to 76,000.

Zack's opponent, however, spiced it even more as he cut out a chunk of chips and then three-bet to 198,000. Zack figured out it was about time to waive the white flag.

Dubini Breaks 1 Million Chips

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action started with the under-the-gun player raising to 12,000, the cut-off raised to 26,000 and Richard Dubini called from the big blind. The under-the-gun raiser moved all-in for 267,000, the cut-off mucked fast, and Dubini went in the tank. After thinking about it for a while he made the call.

Richard Dubini: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Under-the-gun: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

They were off to the races and it wasn't looking good for Dubini on the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. The turn {6-Hearts} didn't change anything but the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river giving Dubini the pot and over 1,000,000 in chips.

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action folded to Vivian Saliba on the button, she moved all in for roughly 92,000, Tihomir Ivanov called from the small blind and the big blind folded,

Vivian Saliba: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Tihomir Ivanov: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Saliba was in pretty rough shape pre-flop but the flop was a pretty good one, being the {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}, giving her open-ended. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, picking up a flush draw to go with it, but the river {3-Spades} was a brick and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Steven van Zadelhoff defended his big blind against a raise from under the gun, and the action heated up on the {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop.

Van Zadelhoff check-raised to 102,000 and his opponent three-bet to 250,000. Van Zadelhoff announced he was all in for an effective 681,000 and the other player tanked for over three minutes. Then he studied van Zadelhoff who stayed calm and took a sip of his drink.

Another player at the table called the clock and the tank-mode ended midway through the 30-second countdown as van Zadelhoff's opponent threw his cards into the muck.

Van Zadelhoff flipped {3-Spades} and then he started to stack his new chips.
