Sodafsky Makes Right Laydown

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up with 24,500 in the pot with a flop of {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on the felt.

Sergio Benso led out from the small blind for 9,000. Jill Sodafsky made the call.

On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Benso checked to Sodafsky, who fired for 15,000. Benso put in a raise to 60,000, which is about all Sodafsky had left. She went into the tank for a few minutes, before eventually announcing, "Nice hand. I fold,"

"If you show me I'll show you," Benso offered. Sodafsky obliged, and flipped over {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. "Do you want to guess what I had?" Benso continued.

"Queens?" Sodafsky posited, before Benso turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Sodafsky had lost a big one, but managed to get away from it before she lost all of it.

Moreno Gets Paid Off

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Andrew moreno
Andrew moreno

Picking up the action on the turn, Andrew Moreno in late position was involved in a hand with a player in middle position. With the board reading {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} action checked to Moreno, who bet 6,200. His opponent called to send the two players to the river.

The middle position player checked once more on the {8-Clubs} river and Moreno promptly tossed a single T-25,000 chip into the middle. After some consideration his opponent called and Moreno flipped over {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for turned trips. With a look of disgust the middle position player mucked, sending more chips Moreno's way.

With 7,300 in the pot on a {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop, Talal Shakerchi checked in early position, Michael Gathy bet 2,700 in the cutoff, and Shakerchi called.

The duo checked the {5-Diamonds} turn to the {7-Spades} river. Shakerchi led for 5,200 and Gathy called.

Shakerchi revealed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, which was barely good enough to defeat Gathy's {a-Spades}{8-Spades}, and chips were exchanged from the Belgian to the Brit.

Grant Gets a Shove Through in Lengthy Hand

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up on the turn with the board showing {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, the player on the button bet 10,000 as action went back on Jim Grant in the cutoff.

Grant responded by shoving all in for his last 62,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank. After several minutes, Grant took a look at his watch before calling the clock.

A tournament official counted down to zero before the button eventually folded. Grant returned his cards to the dealer and accepted the pot while he whispered over to his tablemate on his right about the hand afterward.

Silverman's Big Blind Hurts Nguyen

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a heads-up pot. The board showed {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Stephen Silverman sat in the big blind and checked it over to Qui Nguyen. From early position, Nguyen bet 4,100, Silverman made the call.

The river brought the {5-Spades}, and Silverman checked again. Nguyen thought about the spot for about a minute before deciding to bet 7,000. Silverman made the call fairly quickly.

Nguyen rolled over {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for top pair, but that was bested by the {7-Spades}{4-Spades} of Silverman who took down the pot.

Mercurio Adds Some More With Good Flop

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Matthew Mercurio, who knocked out a similarly-stacked opponent with a straight versus nut flush draw earlier today, just took down another big pot to add to his stack.

Mercurio was in the small blind and called a bet of 3,500 from an opponent in middle position on a flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Mercurio check-called another bet of 4,500.

The river came the {3-Spades} and Mercurio checked once again. This time his opponent checked behind and Mercurio showed {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair, eights and sevens, which was good enough to take the pot.

"He had a flush draw, too. Jesus," a tablemate said upon seeing how much the flop had helped Mercurio.
