Tsang Forces an Add-On from Mirzikinian

Level 7 : 0/0, 800 ante

After a couple of limps, Anson Tsang raised to 8,000 in middle position and Warwick Mirzikinian shoved all in on the button. Tsang quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Warwick Mirzikinian: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Anson Tsang: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Mirzikinian was in a good position to double up but the flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs} gave Tsang a pair of aces and the lead. The {8-Spades}, {7-Spades} runout was no help to Mirzikinian who was forced to use his last add-on chip.

Soverel Doubles After Showing His Cards

Level 7 : 0/0, 800 ante

Sam Soverel is slowly trying to learn the game of short deck while having some drinks and peeling cards. After going all in for 19,200, Soverel flashed his cards but still managed to convince Dan Zack to call with an inferior hand.

Sam Soverel: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Dan Zack: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"This is the player of the year?" Soverel said laughing at Zack's call. The flop came {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Zack picked up a pair of queens to give him some hope. The {7-Hearts} on the turn gave Zack a flush draw but the {j-Clubs} on the river allowed Soverel to double up.

"In this game, a flush beats a full house," the dealer explained on her way out.

"I think she knows this game better than me," Soverel pointed out.

"I was just going to say, I think she might be the third-best player at this table," Scott Seiver chimed in. "I would buy a piece of her!"

The Rich Get Richer

Level 7 : 0/0, 800 ante

Cody Rich limped in from under the gun and Mike Watson pushed all in for 15,700. Shaun Deeb asked for a count and then called which invited Rich to come along as well.

The dealer fanned the flop of {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Rich shoved all in. Deeb quickly called off his last 20,000 chips and all three hands were tabled.

Mike Watson: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Shaun Deeb: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Cody Rich: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Rich flopped the nut straight and had both of his opponents drawing very slim. The {q-Spades} paired the board on the turn to give them both a chance but the {6-Clubs} bricked on the river. Deeb wished his tablemates good luck and Watson flicked in an add-on chip.

"Best Player with the Best Hand Wins"

Level 7 : 0/0, 800 ante
Sam Soverel
Sam Soverel

Sam Soverel went all in preflop for 29,600. After some thinking, Ben Lamb made the call on the button.

Sam Soverel: {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Ben Lamb: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop was good for Soverel, the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades} hit the board and he made a straight. It held when the {9-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river completed the board.

"Thank god, there's justice. The best player with the best hand won," said Scott Seiver.

"Is that not a good hand?" said Soverel. "Am I the only one looking for nine-ten offsuit? I've got a lot of chips now."

"That's a momentum pot," said Seiver. "Ben had this tournament locked up if he won that one."

Level 7 : 0/0, 800 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio
Jimmy D'Ambrosio

Seongsu Kong raised to 6,000 from early position. Jimmy D'Ambrosio liked what he saw from late position and went all in for about 20,000. Kong made the call.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Seongsu Kong: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop was a good one for D'Ambrosio when the {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts} hit the board. The {10-Diamonds} turn and {j-Spades} river changed nothing and D'Ambrosio locked up the full double.

*****

Shortly after, D'Ambrosio limped in middle position and Anthony Zinno moved all in for about 56,000. D'Ambrosio called for slightly less.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Anthony Zinno: {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Zinno found a straight to send D'Ambrosio to the rail.
