Paur Doubles Through Plante

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jerry Wong raised to 12,000 in the hijack and was called by Taylor Paur in the cutoff and Santiago Plante in the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and the action checked around to the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

Paur was the first player to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 16,000 on the turn. Plante called and Wong stepped aside. The river was the {3-Spades} and Plante checked again. Paur counted out a bet of 42,000 and Plante check-raised all in. Paur wasted little time before calling off his stack of 129,000. Plante showed {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} but Paur revealed the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush to double up.

Meanwhile, at another table, Pavel Plesuv was seen collecting a double up from Chino Rheem after making a set of eights. Plesuv doubled up to over 1,000,000, the first player in the tournament to reach seven figures.

Big Call Fosters Hope

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a completed board of {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}, Kazuhiko Yotsushika moved all in for 139,000, and sent his heads-up opponent, Lucas Foster, deep into the tank.

After five full minutes, table sheriff Scott Seiver called the clock and Foster was given a thirty-second countdown.

Soon after, Foster shoved his chips into the middle to call, and got the best news any poker player could hear, "Nice hand, sir," as Yotsushika turned over {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to play the board.

"Yes!" shouted Foster as he proudly turned over {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a jack-high flush to win the pot. Yotsushika exited the tournament as Foster's chip stack grew to 500,000.

Winter Talks Kupin Into a Call

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sean Winter
Sean Winter

Aaron Kupin raised to 12,000 on the button and Sean Winter shipped all in for 119,000 from the big blind. Kupin went into the tank while Winter stared aimlessly at the wall in front of him.

After a couple of minutes, Kupin finally broke the silence. "If it wasn't this close to the money, I would snap-call. If I showed you guys my hand, you would've called already."

"So you got two kings?" Winter questioned which got a laugh from everyone.

Kupin finally called and the cards were tabled.

Sean Winter: {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Aaron Kupin: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The flop of {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} was a little bit for everyone but Winter currently held the lead. The {a-Hearts} on the turn gave Kupin some more outs and the {4-Hearts} on the river was one of them as Winter got counterfeited and busted.

At another table, Seth Davies got the last of his chips in the middle with pocket eights against the ace-ten of Rafael Moraes. The Brazilian spiked a ten and Davies was also eliminated.

Lin Shoves on Daniels

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jake Daniels and Ren Lin were heads-up going to a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the {10-Clubs} landed on the turn. Daniels went with a large bet of 44,000 and Lin announced all in for around 300,000. Daniels quickly folded and Lin was awarded the pot.

"Risky," Aaron Mermelstein pointed out.

"I'm not scared of the bubble," Lin responded. "I know he's not scared of the bubble."
