Troha Cracks Aces With Aces

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The cards of Florin Haiduc were all but mucked and contained the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} as he clashed with his previous nemesis Sean Troha. The latter had the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} for double-suited aces and got there on the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} runout as he improved to the nut flush.

Moments later, Ognjen Sekularac was also sent to the payout desk as the field dropped below 100 contenders.

The First Casualties in the Money

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was no help on the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} board as the superior full house prevailed.

Shortly after, Armando Collado followed and the next casualties are expected to occur momentarily.

"Tilted" Wiszowaty Gets Some Chips Back

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the money bubble itself, Michael Duek won a larger pot against Philip Wiszowaty and the latter then raised to 25,000 when the bubble had burst while he was in the cutoff. Dario Sammartino called on the button and Duek came along in the big blind.

The flop brought {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs} and it checked to Wiszowaty, who bet 25,000. Only Sammartino called and Wiszowaty then bet the {5-Spades} turn for 125,000. Sammartino folded after some consideration and the table was shown the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} by Wiszowaty.

"What is all?" Duek inquired and Wiszowaty replied with a "You put me on tilt" while he smiled. The near instant "don't you try me dawg" came back from the other side of the table, along with the grins of several other players.

Troha Jams Up Stack on the Bubble

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the stone cold money bubble there was already an all-in and call but one further table was still playing.

The turn showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Florin Haiduc checked out of the small blind. Sean Troha then bet 100,000 in the big blind and was called by Haiduc. They headed to the {4-Hearts} on the river and Haiduc checked again.

Troha moved all-in for approximately 317,000 and that forced a reluctant fold from Haiduc.
