McCorkell Gets Three Streets of Value

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Craig McCorkell opened and was called by a single opponent who then check-called all three streets of a {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board for 40,000, then 135,000 and finally 250,000.

The 2012 bracelet winner McCorkell turned over {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a set of eights and took down the pot, moving above 2,000,000 in the process.

Cain Smashes Ace on the River to Double

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

All the chips went in preflop and Tara Cain was at risk for 416,000.

Tara Cain: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Cain was an underdog and when the flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} it wasn't looking too promising for her, and the {9-Spades} on the turn was no help. Fortunately for Cain however, the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river to grant her a double up and keep the bracelet hunt alive.

Bohlman Rivers the Goods

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

There was around 100,000 in the pot preflop in a single-raised pot between Jasper Meijer van Putten in early position and Scott Bohlman in the big blind. Bohlman defended to Van Putten's open and the flop came {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Bohlman led out for 25,000 and Van Putten called.

The turn fell {9-Spades} and Bohlman checked. Van Putten bet 77,000 and Bohlman took his time making the call. The river was the {q-Diamonds} and both players checked, taking their time in doing so.

After Van putten checked, Bohlman turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a rivered full house

"Whoa!" somebody at the table said. Bohlman laughed as he raked in the pot with his winning hand.

Martinelli Busts to Manole

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Luke Martinelli
Luke Martinelli

Luke Martinelli had been a big stack for most of Day 3 and early on Day 4, however, his Main Event just came to a crashing end. Martinelli's raise was three-bet by Mihai Manole on the button and Martinelli called to see a flop of {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Martinelli check-min-raised from 80,000 to 160,000 and Manole called to see the {8-Diamonds} on the turn.

Martinelli pushed for around 235,000 and Manole called instantly.

Luke Martinelli: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Mihai Manole: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts} river gave Martinelli a flush, but Manole also filled up to a full house to deal the final blow to the Aussie.

Nguyen Eliminated in Massive Pot

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Danny Nguyen
Danny Nguyen

Picking up the action on the turn in a three-way hand, the board read {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades} with roughly 133,000 in the middle. Pavlin Karakikov bet out 55,000, the player next to act called and Danny Nguyen raised it up to 210,000. Karakikov then three-bet to 510,000 and the middle player had a decision, after tanking for about a minute he let his hand go, and Nguyen made the call.

On the {6-Clubs} river Karakikov moved all-in for 523,000, Nguyen had slightly less and went into the tank for five minutes before the clock was called. The tournament director came over and gave Nguyen 25-seconds to act. With two seconds remaining he made the call.

Karakikov tabled {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a rivered straight and Nguyen showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a pair of queens before the dealer scooped his cards into the muck awarding Karakikov a pot over 2,000,000 chips and eliminating Nguyen from the tournament.
