Kade Punishes Moore's Cutoff Limp

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Megan Moore limped in the cutoff and Vanessa Kade made it 6,000. Moore called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Kade made a continuation bet for 8,500, Moore called.

On the {a-Hearts} turn, Kade just about made another large bet, this time for 30,000. Moore called once more.

Both players would check the {7-Hearts} river and Kade showed {a-Spades}{3-Hearts} for top-bottom two pair while Moore flopped middle pair and a flush draw with her {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} but couldn't improve.

K.L. Cleeton Busted on the River

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

K.L. Cleeton was found leaving the area, not to take a break, but because his tournament was over.

He entrusted us that he three-bet all-in with {a-}{j-} for his last 70,000 and was called by a player with {4-}{4-}.

"Flop came an ace, but the river was a four", explained Cleeton before leaving the Bally's Ballroom.

Figueroa Calls Opponent's 5x Pot-Sized Jam and Wins

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Victor Figueroa opened to 3,500 from middle position and the big blind called.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the big blind jammed 42,000 into a 9,500-chip pot. After slight deliberation, Figueroa called.

Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Victor Figueroa: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Even though Figueroa was ahead with a pair of kings, he was about a 47.5% underdog to actually win the hand against the big blind's middle pair and nut flush draw.

However, Figueroa's pair of kings would hold as the board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Spades} to send his opponent to the rail.

Delmas Back To Starting Stack

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a complicated start, Adrien Delmas is back to starting stack.

Delmas defended his big blind after a raise from a player in middle position and a call from Jamal Sawaqdeh on the button.

On the {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop, Delmas checked, and the preflop aggressor made a continuation bet to 4,000. Sawaqdeh called and Delmas announced all-in for 19,500.

The first player quickly folded and after few seconds, Sawaqdeh decided to make the call.

Adrien Delmas : {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Jamal Sawaqdeh : {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Turn and river came {8-Hearts} and {4-Clubs} and Delmas secured the double up with his tens and eights.

On the very next hand, he also three-bet from the small blind after a raise from Eze Waigel on the button. The Argentinian folded and Delmas was back to starting stack.

Barash Makes Fantastic Call to Climb the Leaderboard

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With 35,000 in the pot on a {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board, Nadav Barash was faced with a difficult decision from the big blind as the player on the button bet 25,000 on the river.

After taking a little over a minute to make the decision, Barash made the correct call with {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}, with his opponent attempting a bluff with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Wang Nearing 300,000 After Latest Win

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With the pot already at 30,000 on a {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board, Lu Wang checked from late position, the hijack checked, and the cutoff bet 10,000.

Wang raised to 33,000 and only the cutoff called.

On the juicy {8-Clubs} river that completed a flush draw and made four to a straight, Wang continued for 30,000 more but did not get a call from the cutoff.

With the pot, Wang is just a hair under the 300,000 mark.

It's Not Always Coming Sevens

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a raise to 3,000 from a player in late position, Jeff Howell called from the button. In the blinds, Baebae Liu raised all-in for almost 50,000. While the initial raiser folded, Howell quickly called for the rest of his stack.

Jeff Howell : {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Baebae Liu : {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran {5-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Howell was eliminated.
