Team Cho Mucks a Set

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a board of {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}, Both Brock Wilson of Team Song and the player on his left checked to Jeonggyu Cho of Team Cho who put in a bet of 45,000. Wilson asked to see Cho's stack before putting in the check-raise to 230,000. The player on his left snap-folded and Cho went into the tank. "I have a set." He claimed.

After about thirty seconds Cho let the hand go and tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Wilson scooped the pot without showing.

Team Wells Finishes Team Armstrong

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Benjamin Armstrong of Team Armstrong had got all of his 95,000 chips in the middle before the flop and it was Cody Wells of Team Wells putting him at risk.

Team Armstrong: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Team Wells: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a race and the {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} was a good one for Armstrong. The {a-Diamonds} on the turn though meant Armstrong was going to need to catch up but the {2-Diamonds} on the river wasn't what he was looking for and Team Armstrong was sent to the payout desk.
