Lamb Gets a Jam Through

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ben Lamb has been biding his time most of the day, rarely playing any big pots in the corner of the room. Finally, he stuck all his chips in after an open to 5,000 from middle position and a cutoff call. Lamb was on the button with 49,300 and the two-time WSOP Main Event final tablist got it through when the opener mucked quickly and cutoff tank-folded.

Deveau Versus Zarate: Round Two

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Round One between Daniel Deveau and Ivan Zarate occurred during Level 7 when Deveau hit a set of aces on the river to get there against Zarate's set of kings. Several hours later, Zarate has chipped back up and the two decided to conduct a smaller, yet still meaningful second dance.

Deveau opened from the hijack to 4,300 and Zarate defended his big blind. The flop was {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} and Zarate check-called Deveau's continuation-bet of 5,400.

"Fighting!" said a player at the table with a chuckle.

"Fighting! Round Two!" added Zarate with a jovial laugh.

The turn came {a-Diamonds} and Zarate check-called another barrel of 8,000 from Deveau. The river then fell {10-Spades} and Zarate fired 28,500 into the pot.

Deveau remarked in a suspicious manner about whether or not Zarate was bluffing. Eventually, he folded, asking Zarate if he had eight high.

"Close," Zarate said, lifting up his cards. Both cards were stacked one on top of the other so that only his {5-Hearts} was visible.

"And...?" Deveau begged. Zarate mucked. "C'mon!" Deveau joked.

"I might have been bluffing you with the best hand," Zarate said, smiling.

"You probably were," said Deveau.

Sigurjonsson Spikes a Two Outer Against Tosoc

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Tosoc
Ryan Tosoc

The board came down {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Gudmundur Sigurjonsson, who had his opponent Ryan Tosoc well covered, moved all in.

Sigurjonsson saw Tosoc snap-call for his last 40,000, and the cards went on their backs.

Sigurjonsson tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} but had fallen behind to a set on the flop as Tosoc revealed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

With just one card left to come, Sigurjonsson was drawing to a two outer. The dealer burned and turned with the {q-Hearts} hitting the river.

The whole table gasped in shock as Sigurjonsson hit a higher set, and WSOP bracelet winner Tosoc was cruelly eliminated.

Sigurjonsson, still in shock, took in the pot and moved up to 320,000.

Affleck Calls it Off on the River

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

Matt Affleck and Blair Hinkle were involved in another pot together with 13,000 in the middle and a flop that looked like {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Hinkle checked to Affleck and he bet 4,500. Hinkle went for the old fashioned check-raise and he put 11,000 in the middle. Affleck called.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players opted for a check and the {q-Diamonds} river completed the board. Hinkle now fired a bet of 19,000 and Affleck took his time to think it through. He had just 30,000 behind and this call would be for most of his chips.

He ended up calling and Hinkle showed {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} but he couldn't beat the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} of Affleck.

Bozkurt Pays Butcher

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Brad Butcher was in the cutoff and bet 31,000 into about 45,000 on {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Ekrem Bozkurt was tanking in middle position.

"I have a big hand, but I feel like I am being beaten," he said.

Finally, he slapped in calling chips, but he mucked in disgust when Butcher showed {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a backdoor full.

Two Pair for Ma

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop reading {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Lawrence Ma checked from the big blind and Jon Bennett bet 4,000 under the gun. Ma check-called.

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked it to the {2-Clubs} river. Ma threw in a bet of 12,500 and Bennett tank-called. Ma turned over {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for two pair and Bennett sent his hand to the muck.

Hartmann Shoves Cold

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Hartmann was in the small blind and was all in for what looked to be a four-bet shove worth 81,000. A player on the button with 17,000 in front tanked awhile and reluctantly gave it up, and Hartmann showed {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Zarcone's in the Zone

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gus Hansen raised to 5,500 from under the gun, and a player in early position called. Giovanniluigi Zarcone three-bet to 20,000, and Hansen said, "I'm pretty sure I...am...out," before folding. The early position player stuck in a call.

On the {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop, the early position player checked, and Zarcone jammed for 55,000. His opponent folded.

Improbable Runout Vaults Cannuli Even Higher

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tom Cannuli
Tom Cannuli

The cards were already on their backs with the board spread across the table but the players were kind enough to fill us in on the monster pot. There was a raise to 5,000 in early position and Tom Cannuli three-bet to 15,500 in middle position. The action folded back to the initial raiser who shoved all in for just over 100,000. Cannuli called and the cards were tabled.

Tom Cannuli: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-}{q-}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and despite hitting an ace, Cannuli was way behind his opponent's set of queens. The turn was the {a-Spades} to give Cannuli some outs for a larger full house. The river brought the {4-Diamonds} to make Cannuli aces full of fours. His opponent was confused at first as to why the dealer was shipping the pot to Cannuli until the table filled him in that Cannuli rivered the larger full house.
