Chuaprasert Chipping Back Up

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

Rittie Chuaprasert made a river bet of 100,000 into a pot of close to 200,000 on a wet board that read {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Danny Chang considered the bet and thought for about a minute before folding his hand. Chuaprasert showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and Chang nodded his head glad that he made the lay down.

Death By Quads for Pantling

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

Kevin Saul opened under the gun and got called in three spots. On the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, Andrew Pantling checked from the big blind and Saul bet 12,000. Brian Park called a few seats over, the fourth player folded, and Pantling shoved for 54,500. Saul reraised to 103,000, folding out Park.

Pantling shook his head and turned over {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush draw, and Saul tabled {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the current nuts. They got nuttier on the turn when the {7-Hearts} hit to leave Pantling out the door even before the {2-Clubs} river arrived.

Allain Catches Lucky Turn and Dodges Bullets For Double Up

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

There was two-way action after the flop with around 20,000 in the middle and a board showing {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Adrien Allain jammed his remaining 63,500 in the middle from late position and Marko Maher snapped him from the button.

Marko Maher: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Adrien Allain: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Allain was open-ended but Maher held top pair and kicker with the nut flush and broadway draw. As an 81 percent favorite to win the hand, Maher was looking golden until the dealer peeled off the {9-Diamonds} on the turn giving Allain a the nut straight.

Maher still had outs but was unable to hit as the river fell a brick with the {3-Diamonds} and Allain came away with a double.
