New Chip Leader

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kao Saechao
Kao Saechao

A player ran over to let PokerNews know a hand was brewing between two big stacks at his table.

It was blind on blind action and the board read {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. With what didn't look like more than 200,000 in the pot, Kao "Flexx" Saechao was all in for 800,000 and his opponent in the small blind was in the tank.

The clock was called on Saechao's opponent and he made the call before time ran out.

Saechao tabled {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for trip sevens.

His opponent mucked his hand but the floor man made him turn it back over based on tournament rules. He had called with {q-Clubs}{2-Spades} for two pair.

Saechao now has a mountain of chips.

Rashad Karima limped and it was called by two players before Eva Slovic decided to shove from the big blind for her 67,000 last chips. Only Karima made the call for the following showdown:

Eva Slovic: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Rashad Karima: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

It was a typical flip situation, and the flop first fell {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, giving a pair of queens to Slovic. However, the {10-Clubs} and the {k-Clubs} hit the turn and the river, giving a runner-runner straight to Karima to eliminate Slovic from the event.
