Boivin Gets Max Value

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Thomas Boivin opened from middle position and was called by the button and the big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the action checked to the button who bet 3,000. The big blind folded and Boivin called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked to the {8-Spades} on the river. Boivin led out for 30,000 this time, nearly two-times the pot. His opponent thought for a moment before making the call. Boivin turned over {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for quad tens while his opponent flashed a {k-} before his cards hit the muck.

Esfandiari peeled and Ward quickly shoved all in on the {7-Spades} river. Esfandiari folded just as quickly and Ward proudly showed his bluff: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen

There was about 18,000 in the middle of the table and the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} board was out there. Gus Hansen had bet 8,000 out of position and he was raised to 23,000.

''Everything says fold and I still want to call'' Hansen said after thinking about it for a while. He eventually pulled the trigger and announced call which was immediately followed by his opponent saying ''nice call''.

Hansen's opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Hansen himself won with {k-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Deveau Coolers Zarate on River

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The board read {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and there was around 50,000 in the pot with action on Daniel Deveau in the small blind. He bet 40,000 into his opponent, Ivan Zarate, who was in middle position.

Zarate went into the tank and was seemingly in pain over the decision at hand. He stated that there was no way he was going to be able to fold and then stood up and continued to deliberate. Eventually, he tossed in chips to call.

Deveau tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} for a rivered set of aces.

"Gah!" said Zarate as he turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for a cracked set of kings and proceeded to walk about eight steps away. He circled back around as the table commented on the hand that just took place.

"You played it better than me," Deveau said.

"I guess so," Zarate responded.

"I don't know if I could find a fold on the turn," said Deveau.

"Nice hand," Zarate said as the dealer began to pitch the cards for the next hand and play continued.

Atkinson Doubles Through Loeser

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop fell {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and Josh Atkinson bet 4,000 from the button after the action checked to him. Manig Loeser raised to 11,000 from the big blind and saw a player in middle position fold.

Atkinson responded by moving all in for 32,900, and Loeser called.

Josh Atkinson: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Manig Loeser: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Atkinson held the lead with top pair top kicker, and when the {4-Diamonds} & {9-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and river, he secured the full double up at the expense of Loeser.

Romano Eliminated by Leibowitz

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ray Romano
Ray Romano

Over on the third feature table, stand-up comedian, actor and screenwriter Ray Romano was all in with a short stack and Matteo Leibowitz looked him up to create a coin flip in the showdown.

Ray Romano: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Matteo Leibowitz: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop gave Romano a pair of queens, yet he was in need of running cards to avoid the elimination. It was all over after the {10-Clubs} turn and Romano waved goodbye as a blank came on the river.

Ditz Eliminated by Delaney

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Franz-Xaver Ditz was moved over from the Brasilia room and defended his big blind against a button raise by Joseph Delaney. They headed to a {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, on which Ditz got his stack in with the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Delaney snap-called with the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flopped nut flush and the turn and river were both blanks.

Rogowski Swears He'll Call

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrzej "Andy" Rogowski checked a {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop from the big blind, and a player in middle position bet 12,500 into a pot of 25,000. Rogowski called.

The {3-Clubs} turn was checked again by Rogowski, and his opponent bet 25,500. Rogowski called again.

Both players checked the {8-Spades} river, and Rogowski turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, which caused his opponent to smirk a bit before mucking.

"You shove, I call, I swear to God!" Rogowski said with a chuckle as he pulled in the pot.
