Richard Seymour

On the heads-up turn of {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, the small blind bet 7,500 and Richard Seymour called from late position to see the {8-Clubs} on the river. Another bet of 11,000 followed and Seymour called.

"Good call," the small blind said, flashed his cards and Seymour had the winning hand in {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Qartomy Cautious With Eights Full

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Rickey Lee bet 31,000 from middle position on a completed board of {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Ray Qartomy was tanking in the cutoff. He counted out calling chips then splashed them in. Lee showed {k-}{j-} for jacks up but it was no good against {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a boat.

Lybaert Joins Hall With Over a Million

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bart Lybaert

One million chip stacks in the Main Event are like London buses. You wait ages for one to come along, and then two come along at once. The latest player joining the seven-figure club is Belgian Bart Lybaert.

According to Lybaert, he doubled through a player with {a-}{6-} suited against his opponent's {a-}{k-} on a {a-}{8-}{2-}{6-}{7-} board, with all the money going in on the river. That 900,000 pot saw him score a massive double up and he now sits on 1.1 million in chips.

With about 60,000 in the pot and the board reading {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, the player in the small blind checked to Jean-Robert Bellande who bet 40,000 from early position.

The player in the small blind tanked for a bit before he open folded {8-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Jerold Saeman

Jerold Seaman raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and Martin Huk called on the button. Jason Brauda in the big blind jammed for what appeared to be 70,000 and Saeman called, Huk folded.

Jason Brauda: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Jerold Saeman: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Brauda vaulted into the lead on the {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop and remained there on the {j-Diamonds} turn, but the {10-Hearts} river gave Saeman a set.

Some Purple Chip Counts

Moll Gets Counterfeited On River, Eliminated By Sly

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

David Moll open-jammed for 21,000 from middle position and was called by Christopher Sly from late position.

Christopher Sly: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
David Moll: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop was no help to Moll but the paired board did leave chop possibilities with the turn and river still to come.

Moll took a sigh of relief after the dealer dropped the {2-Diamonds} on the turn as he was one card away from doubling up.

The river however was not as kind to Moll as it fell the {a-Hearts} giving both players two-pair, but Sly held the nine kicker and Moll was eliminated from the tournament.

Jiang Remains Active

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sosia Jiang

"I just bluffed into the nuts," Sosia Jiang admitted, her {j-Spades}{5-Spades} still tabled as her table neighbor received a full double with {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} on a board of {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Jiang received a portion of the chips back soon after when she called a raise by Hertsel Levy. They checked the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and the {2-Clubs} turn. Levy also checked the {j-Diamonds} river and Jiang bet 33,000 for slightly more than the pot. Levy called and mucked the {a-Hearts} when Jiang turned over {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a rivered set.

Lefebvre Shoves, Burkhart Folds

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a large pot of already over 200,000 in the middle it was a blind on blind situation between Jacqueline Burkhart in the small blind and Daniel Lefebvre in the big blind. The turn was out and the board read {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Both players checked carefully. The river brought the {k-Spades}. Burkhart thought for a while before checking and Lefebvre moved all in for a remaining amount of around 290,000.

Burkhart thought it over and sat back in her chair, ready for a long tank. But after not that long she announced fold and Lefebvre took down the big pot.

"The silent assassin" said Burkhart in response to Lefebvre's silent actions at the table. "That's what I should have named you".

Miles Picks Off a Bluff

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Timothy Miles bet 14,000 from the big blind into about 20,000, with {8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} on the felt. Stanislav Barshak was in early position and popped in a raise to 46,500. That sent Miles into the tank, and he tried to exchange some banter with Barshak, who only covered his face and gave him a "sorry, no English."

Miles smiled as he continued to think, and he finally dropped in some chips. Barshak opened {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}, which was no good against {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}.
