Niyati Slow Plays Queens

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action started when George Abi-Zeid opened to 105,000 from middle position. Both William Smith and Pejman Niyati made the call in the blinds.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Smith checked from the small blind and Niyati lead out for 150,000. Abi-Zeid, the original raiser preflop, raised it up to 375,000, which was only called by Niyati.

On the {8-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river both players checked it down and Niyati confidently turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for the slow-played overpair, winning him the pot.

Mark Perry opened from under the gun to 100,000 and Sebastian Toro moved all in from the small blind, with both remaining stacks having 20 big blinds or fewer behind.

Joel Gilmore called off for his final 185,000 from the big blind and Perry folded.

Sebastian Toro: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to give both players a pair. The turn came the {3-Spades} and the river was the {a-Hearts} to give Toro trip aces and the win.

Toro, who started the day third in chips, has more than doubled his starting stack and is now around 7,500,000.

Young Takes Down The Pot

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With a pot of roughly 250,000 in the middle on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} Orson Young bet out 75,000 after being checked to from Sukhdip Sangha who then made the call.

The turn came the {j-Diamonds} and Sangha check-called a bet of 135,000.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board and action slowed down with both players checking.

Sangha turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for middle-pair but was topped by Young's {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a better pair scooping him the pot.

Weese Scores Back-to-Back Knockouts to Close in on Four Million

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Robert Weese opened for 100,000 and Ken Beckers shoved for his final 330,000. Weese called.

Ken Beckers: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Robert Weese: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Weese flopped a straight on the {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop but Beckers wasn't dead as a {9-Hearts} came on the turn to give him four outs to a full house.

However, the {j-Diamonds} came on the river and Beckers was eliminated.

Shortly after, Cedric Louard opened for 100,000 and Weese three-bet to a little over 300,000. Louard shoved for around 1,300,000 total and Weese called.

Cedric Louard: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Robert Weese: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Louard could not improve on the board and Weese took his chip stack to almost four million.
