Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Rob Kuhn
Rob Kuhn

There was already 30,000 in the middle on the {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} turn and Robert Kuhn was facing an all-in bet from his opponent. Kuhn quickly called off his last 18,700 and was at risk.

Robert Kuhn: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Kuhn's queens full were way in front and the {2-Clubs} river sent the big pot his way.

Spragg Cracks and Stacks Aces

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

In preflop action, the small blind called and Marle Spragg checked from the big blind.

By the river, there was over 25,000 chips in the pot on a {5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} board and after her opponent checked, Spragg put in a bet of 20,000.

The small blind, who had 25,000 chips remaining in his stack, went into the tank for about three minutes before going all-in.

Spragg called off for the additional 5,000 and tabled {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, beating the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} from her very disappointed opponent.

Ko and Nomberto Chop Wild Three-Way All-In Pot

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

In a stunning all-in pot, three players pushed their full stack into the middle on a {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop.

Early Position: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Kevin Nomberto (MP): {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
David Ko (BB): {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

David Ko and Kevin Nomberto both flopped the straight while the player in early position was drawing thin with his pocket kings.

The {j-Clubs} on the turn had the pocket kings drawing dead, with the {4-Spades} completing the board.

The two players chopped the existing 6,000 chip preflop pot in addition to the early position player's 35,000 chips.

Noam Muallem
Noam Muallem

Noam Muallem flagged down PokerNews before immediately calling off his remaining 11,500 on the {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop.

"I'm all-in," said Muallem. "I've got the straight."

Noam Muallem: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Muallem was ahead but he needed to dodge a lot of outs.

"Black cards," said Muallem as the turn {a-Hearts} hit the board.

The river brought the {6-Hearts} and Muallem doubled back up close to his starting stack.

"The panda is back," he said. "For Day 2 I'll bring the hat."

Mendoza "Prays for 4," Hits It to Stay Alive

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

With 7,200 already in the middle on a {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Jose Mendoza, from the cutoff, shoved his remaining 7,000 chips into the middle. The big blind immediately called.

Jose Mendoza: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Big Blind: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

The big blind was miles ahead of Mendoza with bottom set. The {4-Hearts} paired the board and Mendoza immediately began to pray for another four on the river.

His prayers were answered when the {4-Clubs} arrived, giving him a better full house amid the chorus of "wows" from the table.
