Kroon Can't Get a Call

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player raised to 2,000 from middle position, and Mark Kroon called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop, and Kroon bet 3,000 on the {7-Spades} turn. His opponent called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Kroon bet 4,000. His opponent quickly folded.

A series of raises happened at table #468 in the purple section of the Amazon room which resulted in Stephen Bierman pushing his last 19,200 in the middle. Thomas Larson then pushed his entire stack to the middle as well and it was counted out as 102,500. Andres Korn, who final tabled twice already this series, called for his tournament life as he had 101,300.

Stephen Bierman: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Andres Korn: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Thomas Larson: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Korn managed to more than double up his stack. Larson registered at the start of the day and he was off to a good start but is now left with a little over one big blind.

Adamo Makes a Straight Flush; Gets Paid by Fashakin's Full House

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Femi Fashakin raised to 2,200 under the gun and Michael Adamo called from the small blind along with the player in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} and Adamo checked along with the big blind. Fashakin bet 3,600 and Adamo check-raised to 10,000. The big blind folded and Fashakin stuck around with a call.

The turn brought the {j-Spades} and was checked through to the {j-Diamonds} river. Adamo fired 18,800 and Fashakin responded by moving all in. Adamo snap-called for less with his last 43,800. Fashakin tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for jacks full of queens but that wasn't good enough as Adamo revealed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a straight flush to win the pot.

"Good river dealer," muttered Adamo while raking in the pot.

Flush for Padilha

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pedro Padilha raised to 2,000 and was called by Martin Vega and Phil Hellmuth. On the {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, only Padilha check-called a bet of 3,500 by Hellmuth and he did so again for 4,200 on the {6-Hearts} turn. They checked the {j-Hearts} river and Padilha tabled {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush as the winning hand.

Colombo Clicks It Back

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was around 19,000 in the pot on a flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Michael Binger had a bet of 8,000 in front of him from the big blind. His opponent, Albert Colombo, was in middle position and raised to 16,000. Binger went into the tank for over two minutes and eventually a clock was called on him.

With two seconds left on the clock, Binger folded and Colombo took down the pot with the min-raise on the turn.

After the hand, Binger asked Colombo if he had ace-king. Colombo said he did not have an ace. Binger did not hear him completely and asked him to repeat himself. Colombo said he had a pair but did not have an ace.

Binger was a bit confused, asking if he had a pair that wasn't aces but that could beat king-king. Colombo tried to clear the air, saying he had asked Binger if he had two kings.

"Could you beat kings?" Binger asked.

"Could I beat kings?" Colombo responded. "I don't know," he said as he finished stacking newly claimed chips.

Douglas Folds River to Wolff

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

George Wolff opened in middle position and called a three-bet to 6,800 from big blind Champie Douglas. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Wolff called 5,800, then 12,600 more on the {5-Spades}. When the {q-Spades} river hit, Douglas slowed down with a check. Wolff bet small with 12,000 but it was enough to convince Douglas to release.

Andrew Yip raised to 2,300 from the under the gun, and was called by an early position player, as well as Sasha Liu in the big blind.

Liu checked the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, and Yip bet 3,500. Both of Yip's opponents called.

Everyone checked the {10-Clubs} turn, and Liu bet 12,000 on the {9-Hearts} river. Yip called, and the early position player considered his options before dropping in a call as well.

"That can't be good. I have an ace." Liu said, and Yip quickly turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a runner-runner straight. The early position player mucked.
