Ross Gets the Best of the Champ

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Ben Ross called a reraise from small blind Joe McKeehen and they went heads up to a flop of {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

"Wow, wow, wow," Ross said while re-checking his cards after McKeehen led out. He eventually called and both players checked the {5-Spades} turn.

McKeehen checked again on the {6-Diamonds} river and Ross took the opportunity to bet. McKeehen called after a brief pause.

"Just an ace," Ross said, turning over {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} which was good enough to win the pot.

"Let's go, we beat the champ!" he yelled as players got up to go on break.

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Damoun Nikouie
Damoun Nikouie

Damoun Nikouie raised under the gun and Christoph Kwon put in the three-bet in the small blind. Nikouie quickly four-bet and Kwon put the final raise in. Nikouie had 180,000 total and made the call.

Damoun Nikouie: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Christoph Kwon: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Nikouie was only slightly behind but the {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop left him needing runner-runner. Unfortunately for Nikouie the {5-Hearts} had him drawing dead and the {9-Diamonds} river was just a formality. Nikouie was eliminated in 10th place for $8,446.

In a blind versus blind battle, Steven Wolansky raised and Yueqi Zhu defended. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Zhu called another bet.

Zhu also called the {5-Diamonds} turn before Wolansky checked when the river came the {4-Diamonds}. Zhu did the betting this time and Wolansky paused for a moment before putting in a blue 100,000 chip to call.

Zhu turned over {q-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of queens to win the pot.

On the next hand, Wolansky reraised over a preflop open from Nick Pupillo and Pupillo called to the {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop. Pupillo checked and Wolansky put out a bet.

Pupillo came back with a raise and Wolansky called. Pupillo bet again on the {4-Diamonds} turn and this time Wolansky gave up and surrendered his second consecutive pot.

Damoun Nikouie: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Zhu had Nikouie dominated and was able to hold on the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} run out.
