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.

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.

Silva's Kings Eliminates Brink's Queens

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Frederik Brink opened to 130,000 from middle position and was called by John Simonian in late position and Josh Weiss in the hijack.

Miguel Silva raised to 575,000 from the cutoff and Brink shoved for 1,975,000 total. Simonian and Weiss folded and Silva called.

Frederik Brink: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Miguel Silva: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Silva's kings were way ahead of Brink's queens but Brink picked up some hope on the {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop. However, that hope dissipated on the {3-Clubs} turn.

The {9-Hearts} river eliminated Brink and took Silva to almost six million. Silva started the day with 535,000.

Tan's Aces Double Up Through Abi-Zeid's Queens

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

George Abi-Zeid opened to 120,000 and Vincent Tan shoved for his final 1,190,000. Abi-Zeid called.

Vincent Tan: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
George Abi-Zeid: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to give Tan the full double-up.

After the hand was over, Abi-Zeid said "He gave me exactly what I wanted", referring to the shove as there were a handful of smaller shove stacks behind him.
