Poker Is Hard for Katsman

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Aleksandr Katsman, who doubled up earlier by winning a coin flip with ace-king, was standing up from his chair and awaiting his payout slip.

Uke Dauti was on the button and had {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} in front of him with the board showing {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Dauti's flopped set was enough to bust Katsman.

Pirault Flats With Kings

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded around to Damien Simon in the small blind who raised. Francois Pirault in the big blind called and they saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Simon checked, Pirault bet, Simon raised, and Pirault shoved for around 1,500,000. Simon called with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair, but Pirault had slow-played the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Pirault doubled up.

Will Berry: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Damien Simon: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Simon hit a queen on the river for a pair of queens to send Berry to the payout line.

Multiple All Ins at Table #6

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Table #6 has been a flurry of activity lately, with several massive pots.

In the first, Christopher Morehouse got his last 2,500,000 in the middle against Hsuan-Chao Chen with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Chen had {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and won the coin flip when the board came {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to eliminate Morehouse and climb to 8,000,000.

The very next hand at this table, John Frenz shoved for 880,000, Byron Yang re-shoved, and Wataru Miyashita called both players.

John Frenz: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Byron Yang: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Wataru Miyashita: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Frenz was in third place but hit a runner-runner flush on a board of {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. "Oh baby!" he yelled while pointing to the fourth diamond on the river.

Frenz tripled up, while Yang was eliminated.
