Sankari Misbehaving

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Antoine Sankari
Antoine Sankari

Picking up the action on a completed board of {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, Jared Jaffee and Antoine Sankari were heads-up in a pot. With around 60,000 in the middle, Jaffe checked from the big blind and Sankari shoved all in for around 87,000.

Jaffe thought for a minute and looked back at his cards before sending them to the muck. Sankari was awarded the pot and turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} as he missed a straight draw.

Hildebrand Doubles Through Lowery

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

"Rivered again," Daniel Lowery said and Per Hildebrand nodded. The Swede had just doubled through Lowery as his {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} made a set on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board for Hildebrand to remain in contention. Lowery still has a pretty solid stack and only trails Robert Cowen on the same table.

Bryne Doubles Through Neiman

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Melissa Bryne
Melissa Bryne

With 45,000 in the pot and {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts} on the board, Melissa Bryne bet 25,000 from early position and Philip Neiman called from the button.

The river was {5-Clubs} and Bryne shoved 85,500. Neiman went deep into the tank for several minutes.

"Will you show if I fold?" Neiman asked.

"I'm probably not going to give out free information," Bryne answered.

Neiman eventually called and Bryne turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the flush. Neiman showed {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the disappointing smaller flush and Bryne scored a big Day 3 double.

Moneymaker Busts Kuhn and Breaks a Million

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

With about 200,000 in the pot and a board of {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Chris Moneymaker bet 115,000 in the small blind and Robert Kuhn was in middle position contemplating his decision. He eventually called.

The {q-Hearts} completed the board and Moneymaker slid out a stack of green chips, enough to put Kuhn all-in for his remaining stack of roughly 180,000. Kuhn tanked for several minutes and faced the additional pressure of multiple television cameras waiting on his action. He appeared to even shake his head and chuckle at times. Ultimately, he put in the chips.

"Two pair," Moneymaker said as he turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Kuhn could only show {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and took his exit from the table.

"I wanted to slow roll the sh-- out of him but I can't do that in the main event," Moneymaker said after mentioning they joked earlier about slow rolling each other. Moneymaker also remarked that they have a lot of history playing together that could've influenced Kuhn's decision.

At the end of it, Kuhn was sent to the rail, and the 2003 Main Event champion now sits as one of the top players on the leaderboard with a comfy stack of over one million.

Smiljkovic Caught Bluffing; Left With Fumes

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Smiljkovic was caught betting the {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} river out of the blinds and was called by Tatsuya Seki. Smiljkovic briefly flashed his cards for what appeared to be {a-}{3-} but Seki won the pot with the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}. In the next hand, Seki and Smiljkovic saw a {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop and Seki bet the {j-Spades} turn for 5,500, which saw Smiljkovic check-fold out of the big blind.

The same table also features Kitty Kuo, who has a nearly identical stack as Seki.

Colillas Continues to Build

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ramon Colillas was heads-up from early position against a lone player in the big blind on a {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop. The big blind checked to Colillas, who bet 6,000. His opponent then check-raised to 17,000 and Colillas called.

The {k-Diamonds} fell on the turn and the big blind checked — promoting a 12,000 bet from Colillas. His opponent folded after tanking for a bit and Colillas added to his stack.
