Carvalho Sends Leigh Packing

Level 34 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Andrew Leigh moved all-in for 14,500,000 from early position and was called by Erik Carvalho in the small blind. Carvalho had Leigh covered by 250,000 chips

Andrew Leigh: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Erik Carvalho: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Leigh took the lead on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop but the {q-Hearts} on the turn gave Carvalho the advantage with a set. The only way Leigh could win the hand was to hit a ten on the river. Unfortunately it was the {a-Spades} which gave Carvalho a full house and sent Leigh to the cashier.

Stahley vs Carvalho in Blind on Blind Battle

Level 34 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action folded around to Riley Stahley in the small blind who limped in. Erik Carvalho was in the big blind and decided to raise it up to 2,600,000, which was called by Stahley.

The flop and turn of {q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} saw both players check, until the {8-Diamonds} river fell with Riley Stahley betting 3,500,000.

Carvalho went into the tank for awhile before eventually flicking in a call. Stahley turned over {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the bluff and Carvalho confidently turned over his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for middle-pair to scoop the pot.

Vargas and Leigh Battle

Level 34 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Jordan Vargas pushed for the rest of his stack from the cutoff against Andrew Leigh in the small blind. Leigh turned over his cards for a quick call, and it was pair against pair before the flop.

Jordan Vargas: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Andrew Leigh: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The first three cards all but sealed it for Leigh when it came {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, leaving Vargas drawing for only a few outs.

A {j-Clubs} on the turn meant he'd need a seven to stay alive, but the {3-Diamonds} was not what he wanted.

Each player had two pair, and Leigh's pocket queens were enough to eliminate Vargas, but he remained in high spirits for his deep run in such a huge tournament.

He talked to this reporter at the payout desk, and was happy to work his short stack after the break past another payout jump. It will not be the last we see of Jordan Vargas.
