Li Doubles Through Sebag

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Tong Li limped in from early position and Emmanuel Sebag raised to 540,000 in middle position. Action folded back to Li who called.

The dealer spread the {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and Li's remaining chips went into the middle against Sebag.

Tong Li: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Emmanuel Sebag: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {2-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river kept Li ahead with his two pair and he secured the double through Sebag.

Gregory Shuda Eliminated in 8th Place ($152,091)

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Gregory Shuda
Gregory Shuda

Gregory Shuda raised to 300,000 and Josh Arieh three-bet to 1,075,000 from one seat over. Tong Li in the big blind tanked for a long time and folded while Shuda pushed and Arieh instantly called.

Gregory Shuda: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Josh Arieh: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Shuda was somewhat excited to get it in ahead and didn't show any emotions on the {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop on which Arieh picked up a flush draw. After the {9-Clubs} turn, Shuda said "don't do it to me ..." followed by a very crystal clear "fuck" when Arieh got there on the {q-Clubs} river. His second ever tournament has ended in 8th place for $152,091.

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Emmanuel Sebag
Emmanuel Sebag

Fabian Brandes raised to 250,000 and Tong Li called in the small blind. Emmanuel Sebag called in the big blind with just 130,000 behind and then jammed the {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop on which Brandes raised to 425,000 and forced out Li.

Emmanuel Sebag: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Fabian Brandes: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Sebag asked for a heart and his wish was granted on the {7-Hearts} turn and {j-Spades} river runout for the near triple up.

Brandes then raised to 300,000 and Sebag called in the small blind. Both checked the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop and Sebag check-called the {6-Spades} turn for 200,000. The {8-Diamonds} river was checked and Sebag announced one pair, Brandes revealed the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and that won the pot.

Fabian Brandes: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Emmanuel Sebag: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Stein Takes From Li; "Idiot" Arieh Chops With Ball

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Tong Li raised on the button and Sam Stein called out of the big blind. On the {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, both players checked and Stein check-called the {6-Clubs} turn for 350,000. After the {7-Clubs} river, they checked it down and Stein immediately announced "I got it" before revealing the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} as the winning hand.

One hand later, Josh Arieh raised to 325,000 on the button and Fabian Brandes defended the big blind. Brandes stabbed the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop for 350,000 and Arieh folded.

Arieh then made it 375,000 to go and Scott Ball defended from his big blind. Ball check-called the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop for 400,000 and the {j-Hearts} turn for 825,000. The {6-Hearts} river was checked and Ball tabled the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. In disbelief, Arieh rolled over his {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and then said "I am such a bitch ... god, fire again ... such an idiot."
