Rigby Shows the Bluff

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With over 1,600,000 in the middle when the flop read {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Nicholas Rigby was sitting in the middle position and checked. Robert Mitchell bet 575,000 from the hijack which Rigby called.

They both checked through the {8-Spades} on the turn to the {6-Clubs} on the river. Rigby barreled a bet of 1,250,000 over the line for Mitchell to tank for a while and then fold.

Rigby flipped over the {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the bluff for the rest of the table to look upon it in wonder.

David Coleman
David Coleman

Picking up the action on the flop, Demosthenes Kiriopoulos, in the small blind, checked the {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. David Coleman was on the button and bet 280,000. Kiriopoulos check-raised to 750,000 before Coleman shoved for 1,740,000. Kiriopoulos called it off.

David Coleman: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Coleman had to fade a lot of cards in the deck and did exactly that after the {5-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} rundown.

"Come on, let's go!" he cheered.

Duong Doubles Twice

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Yaniv Peretz had raised from under the gun and Adam Duong went all-in from the big blind for 705,000. Peretz called.

Adam Duong: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Yaniv Peretz: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades} for Duong to hit the flop for trips and then improve to a full house to double up with.

A few hands later, he had lost a chunk of his stack again and shoved for 335,000 from the hijack. Tyler Cornell was sitting in the big blind and tanked for a while as it was a close decision before making the call.

Adam Duong: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Tyler Cornell: {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for Duong to stay alive once again and double up with the higher kicker.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action was caught on the river as the board was already completed to read {9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Cody Wiegmann bet 780,000 from middle position into a pot of around 1,000,000.

Tonio Roder was in the small blind and contemplated for a few moments before calling.

Joseph Steps Out of Line; Campelo Profits

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Breno Campelo
Breno Campelo

Breno Campelo raised to 185,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Jeremy Joseph in the small blind. Joseph three-bet to 650,000 and Jeffrey Trudeau folded the big blind after some thought.

Campelo took his time before cutting out a four-bet to 1,395,000. Back on Joseph, he spent the better part of three minutes tanking before shoved all in, putting Campelo to the test.

A little reluctant, Campelo called it off for 3,365,000 total and the cards went on their backs.

Breno Campelo: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Jeremy Joseph: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

Joseph huge five-bet shove with king-seven suited was ill-timed as he had run smack dab into the pocket kings of Campelo. The board ran out {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Joseph was left with a mere 510,000 after the hand.

Millstein Doubles in Cooler

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Francis Cruz opened to 160,000 in late position and Koray Aldemir three-bet to 440,000 on the button. Jacob Millstein then four-bet shoved a stack of just over 3,000,000 and only Cruz called.

Jacob Millstein: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Francis Cruz: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Millstein needed an ace to stay alive and got it when the flop came {5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, though Cruz picked up a flush draw. The board finished out {j-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Millstein faded a club to keep his Main Event dreams alive.

"Cooler," he said after the hand.

State and Nanji Bow Out in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Fatima Nanji
Fatima Nanji

After a couple of preflop raises, Adrian State and Chase Bianchi got all of their chips in the middle preflop. State was the player at risk for around 1,350,000 and was in bad shape heading to the flop.

Bianchi showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and State needed to hit an ace with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and State was eliminated.

On the next hand, the action folded to Fatima Nanji in the small blind who shoved all in for 1,150,000. Ruslan Dykshteyn was in the big blind and quickly called to put Nanji at risk.

Dykshteyn turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Nanji was in trouble with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} as she stood up from her chair. The flop of {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} left Dykshteyn's pocket queens in the lead. The {k-Clubs} on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} on the river provided no help to Nanji who exited the tournament with a smile on her face.

Röder Tangles Twice With Zhang

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heng Zhang raised to 165,000 and Tonio Röder three-bet to 515,000 for Zhang to call. After Zhang's check, Röder bet the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop for 400,000 and Zhang instantly folded.

One hand later, Röder defended out of the blinds and check-raised the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop from 100,000 to 325,000. Zhang tossed in calling chips and Röder then bet the {8-Spades} turn for 825,000, which Zhang called.

After the {2-Hearts} river, Röder bet 1,525,000 and that sent Zhang deep into the tank. More than five minutes passed before he sent his cards into the muck once more as Röder's early rise on Day 6 continues.
