Lyons' Shove Gets Through

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Pat Lyons and Dennis Jensen each put in 1,100,000 before the flop.

On the {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, Lyons shoved for his last 1,700,000. "Don't make a bad call," he told Jensen.

Jensen gave it some thought for about two minutes before sliding his cards back to the dealer. Lyons claimed to have had pocket queens.

"Sometimes you play to see safe flops," Lyons said after the hand.

Sullivan Finds A Nine

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nicholas Dileo raised to 500,000 preflop from the cutoff and from the small blind, Dwayne Sullivan went all-in for 2,260,000. Dileo thought for about half a minute before calling.

Nicholas Dileo: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Dwayne Sullivan: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The flop came out {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Dileo slammed the table in frustration as Sullivan hit his set. The turn {10-Spades} and river {q-Hearts} did not improve Dileo and Sullivan acquired all of his chips.

Lujano Outdraws Darelli

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Daniel Lujano raised pre-flop from the cutoff before Carlo Darelli moved all in from the small blind for 800,000.

Lujano went into the tank for a few moments. "Alright, let's go," he eventually said before calling.

Carlo Darelli: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Daniel Lujano: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

"All spades," Darelli pleaded, but he didn't get his wish as the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop gave Lujano a pair of jacks. Darelli paired his seven on the {7-Hearts} turn but missed the {q-Hearts} river to bust.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rhonda Shepek was down to around 450,000 and got them in the middle pre-flop. She was called by Ken Coplon.

Rhonda Shepek: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Ken Coplon: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Shepek paired her ten on the {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, but she improved no further on the {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts} runout and the last woman remaining in the field hit the rail.

Darelli Survives on River In Wild Three-Way Hand

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Carlo Darelli was all in for his short stack in a three-way hand as PokerNews was called over on the flop that read {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Barry Seidman was also all in in a side pot with Dennis Jensen who had him covered.

Carlo Darelli: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Barry Seidman: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Dennis Jensen: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Jensen had a set of eights, Seidman had the flush draw and Darelli was hoping for a straight. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river came the {j-Diamonds} to dramatically save Darelli and Jensen won the larger pot while Seidman was sent away.
