Nguyen Gets Value on the River with Trip Tens

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

With around 100,000 chips already in the pot on a {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} board, the big blind checked to Triet Nguyen who put out a modest bet of 37,000.

The bet equated to around a third of the big blind's remaining stack and she went into the tank for nearly three minutes before she opted to press the call button.

Nguyen flipped over {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for trip tens and took the pot down to see his stack soar above 250,000.

Glendinning Continues Upward Trend with Trip Tens

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

Sitting on the button on the {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, Jon Glendinning bet out for 6,000. However, the hijack decided to raise to 20,000. Glendinning called.

The {10-Hearts} turn had the hijack continuing for 25,000 more. Glendinning called once again.

On the {j-Spades} river, which put three spades on the board, the hijack slowed down and checked. Glendinning took his time and debated whether or not to make another move before eventually deciding on a check.

The hijack flipped over {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} having rivered a pair of jacks, while Glendinning turned over {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for trip tens and took his stack to just under 200,000.

Guenzel Doubles With Aces

Lukas Guenzel {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Guenzel, the German, was way ahead and faded any trouble on the {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Four Way Pot Taken Down By Oliveira

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

After an under-the-gun open from Joshua Eisenberg, Lukas Guenzel called from middle position and the cutoff raised to 10,000. Aryan Ouriques De Oliveira, in the small blind, called and so did the other three players.

To a flop of {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Guenzel lead for 25,000 chips, the three-better folded from the cutoff, but Oliveira called. Eisenberg tanked for a little while before ultimately folding.

They both checked the {10-Diamonds} turn.

Oliveira jammed all-in for 90,000 and Guenzel folded, giving the pot the the Brazilian native

There had been quite some drama between players to this point, with Eisenberg being a vocal point, having less than playful banter with a couple of other guys at the table.

Kim Wins Crucial Flip to Survive, Get to 100,000

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

Moon Kim's tournament life was at stake with 100,000 chips in the middle.

Moon Kim: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Kim absolutely smashed the {k-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop but had to sweat after the turn came the {6-Hearts}.

However, the {7-Diamonds} river was a safe card as Kim won and went to the 100,000-chip mark.

Lin Gets Paid for her Rivered Straight

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

With 12,000 already in the middle on a {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} board, Thida Lin bet 3,500 chips from the small blind and had both the big blind and the button call.

On the {j-Diamonds} river, she checked, the big blind checked, and the button put out a bet of 17,500. Lin called with {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a straight, beating her opponent's bluff with {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a meager pair of nines.

Halking Straight Good Enough

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

With at least 40,000 chips in the middle, Michael Halking was in the under-the-gun position and he was facing a bet of 18,000 from the cutoff. The board read {3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and he called.

When the {j-Diamonds} fell on the river, it slowed things down considerably, Halking checked and his opponent checked back.

Halking tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a turned straight, while his opponents {a-}{q-} top two pair, was not good enough to take the pot.
