Snead Leaves Drinan Short

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

On the flop of {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Sam Snead made it 6,000 to go and Connor Drinan on the button raised it up to 25,000, which Snead called. They checked the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and the {2-Hearts} river completed the board.

Snead's bet of 23,000 was instantly called by Drinan, but he mucked when Snead tabled {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a full house.

Rambling Razov Departs

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

On the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Andrey Razov bet 45,000 and Benoit Galland made the call to see the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Razov moved all in and Galland quickly called.

Andrei Razov: {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Benoit Galland: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Razov started rambling in Russian and was drawing to an ace and ace only to avoid elimination. Instead, the blank {3-Hearts} followed on the river and more swear words in Russian followed before Razov headed out of the tournament area.

Sadou Talks His Way Out of a Pot?

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Demis Hassabis opened to 8,000 and got calls from a talkative Firas Sadou before Matthew Gonzales called in the big blind.

"I'm just giving them to you," said Gonzales. "Here," he said, throwing his call directly towards the big stack Sadou.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs} and it checked to Sadou who bet 8,000. Gonzales folded and Hassabis called.

"I've got an ace," said Sadou. "Ace-queen. Put a four out there."

The turn was the {q-Clubs}

"A Queen!" said Sadou as it checked to him and he bet 22,000. Hassabis called.

"I have nothing," said Sadou. "Check-check river."

The river was the {k-Diamonds} and both players checked. "I have nothing," said Sadou showing {9-}{8-}{5-}{4-} and Hassabis won the pot with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped full house.
