Double Flush Draw Hits for Vieira

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Joao Vieira raised it up in middle position and was called by Chris Sandrock in the big blind. The flop came {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and both players checked to the {j-Hearts} on the turn.

Sandrock checked again and Vieira threw in a bet of 4,000. Sandrock check-raised the pot to 19,800 and Vieira called. The {k-Hearts} hit the river and Sandrock checked once more. Vieira threw in a bet of 16,000 and Sandrock quickly called. Vieira turned over {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for an ace-high flush and raked in the pot.

Kurtzman Rivers a Set Against Cheong

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Sam Chartier collected a five-way pot when he bet the {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Up next, Pj Cha raised to 3,000 and was called by Joseph Cheong in the cutoff and Eric Kurtzman in the big blind. Kurtzman led the {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop for Cheong to call and Kurtzman then bet the {j-Clubs} turn for 24,500, picking up another call by Cheong.

The {7-Diamonds} fell on the river and Kurtzman bet 65,000 and that was called once more by Cheong.

"Three sevens," Kurtzman announced and rolled over the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a missed gutshot and flush draw that improved to a set of sevens. Cheong mucked and Kurtzman rebuilt his stack once more.

Barbero Shoves the River

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The board read {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Nacho Barbero had a pot-sized bet in front of him. Roussos Koliakoudakis check-called and the {4-Hearts} completed the board.

Koliakoudakis checked again and Barbero went into the tank before betting the pot of 77,600 on the river, leaving himself with just 200 chips behind. Koliakoudakis thought for a moment but decided to lay his hand.

"We all wanted you to call," someone else at the table said, hinting they wanted to see the winning hand.

No Call for Karmazinas

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dominykas Karmazinas four-bet the pot to 31,800 in the hijack and was called only by the player on the button as they headed to the {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Almost immediately, Karmazinas announced the pot and bet 67,600 with very few chips behind. His opponent eyeballed the stack of the Lithuanian and the flop but opted to get out of the way.
