Volpe and Sadou Get Told Off

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

Blind on blind Paul Volpe bet 12,000 on a {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and Firas Sadou snap-called. As Volpe eyed his opponent on the {8-Diamonds} turn but the pair checked.

The river was the {a-Clubs}. Volpe checked and Firas Sadou bet 15,000.

Volpe took his time and the pair started chatting.

"Two pair," said Sadou.

"You cannot discuss the hand gentleman," said the dealer admonishingly.

"So if he turns over two pair now he gets thrown out of the tournament?" said Volpe.

"It would be really sick if you raised now," said Sadou.

Eventually, Volpe called and was shown {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for two pair.

"Does he get a penalty now?" said Volpe jokingly.

"What, because I had two pair?" replied Sadou.

Galland More Than Doubles

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Benoit Galland
Benoit Galland

Toby Lewis won two big pots off Robert Mizrachi and Evan Krentzman to jump above one million in chips and Benoit Galland just did so in a three-way all in. It started with a cutoff raise by Kahle Burns and Galland stuck around from the button. Leif Force jammed for 162,000 in the big blind and Burns isolated with a reshove only for Galland to snap-call.

Leif Force: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Benoit Galland: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Kahle Burns: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}

"Damn, I was trying to get heads-up," Burns sighed when he found himself up against the aces of Galland as well.

Force was already out of his seat and had grabbed his belongings, but then saw the flop come {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. "That's a good start dealer," Force added, only to brick off on the {8-Clubs} turn and {j-Hearts} river. Burns lost both pots, as Galland also doubled through him for 271,000 on top.

Niklas Astedt: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Epstein Doubles Polk

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Soon after coming back from the dinner break, Jordan Polk ended up all in with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} against the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} of Alex Epstein.

They got it in after the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, on which Epstein had to pay just a few big blinds with his flush draw. The {3-Spades} turn and {6-Diamonds} river kept Polk in the lead with his set, and it put just a minor dent into the big stack of Epstein.

Sam Snead

In the last hand before dinner, a big three-way pot emerged with more than 240,000 in and the turn showing {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Sam Snead had bet 125,000 out of the small blind and Shaun Deeb moved all in for more than 600,000, which eventually forced out big stack Tyler Smith.

"I play this crap hand and get rewarded," Snead said in table chat and Deeb tapped the table with the words "good hand boss."
