Another Hero Call on the Feature Table

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

GGPoker Qualifier [Removed:551] opened to 10,000 with {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was called by Raman Afanasenka from the big blind with {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Afanasenka paired up in the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop and check-called a bet of 6,000 before the {2-Hearts} turn checked through. Afanasenka filled up on the {9-Clubs} river and led out for 25,000.

Emulating Stanislav Urodlivchenko from the hand prior, [Removed:552] made the hero call only to see that his opponent had a made hand.

Moon Keeps the Run Good Going With Big Slick

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Benjamin Moon
Benjamin Moon

Ben Moon raised to 11,000 from under the gun and only Moran Merdinger called from the big blind.

Merdinger checked on the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-} flop and Moon cut out a stack of 50,000, enough to cover Merdinger. She called and was at risk.

Moran Merdinger: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Ben Moon: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

It was a cooler flop as Merdinger had flopped a straight with an open-ended straight flush draw, while Moon had the ace-high flush draw.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} to put Moon in front with his flush and the river bricked off as Merdinger was eliminated.

Moon has had quite a spin-up today, starting with just 33,000. He's now nearing half a milly late in the day.

Cain Departs in Vain

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joseph Cain got his shorter stack of around 80,000 in before the flop and was instantly looked up by Vuong Do with the far covering stack.

Joseph Cain: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Vuong Do: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

There was no ace or broadway straight on the {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board and that spelled the end for Cain, who left the table with a "nice playing with you guys, experience of a lifetime." Almost outside of the reach of the table, he then added a few curse words before leaving the tournament area.

Updated Chip Counts from Bally's Silver

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Urodlivchenko Makes the Hero Call with King High

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was caught on the {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop with Stanislav Urodlivchenko checking in middle position with {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. David Peters with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} also checked.

The same action took place on the {2-Clubs} turn, which brought in the {a-Diamonds} river. Urodlivchenko made it a trio of checks before Peters fired in for 23,000.

Urodlivchenko kept Peters honest and he chucked in the call with king high, only to see he had beaten.

Pustina Takes it Down

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 11,000 and the middle position called, but when action came back around Vlastimil Pustina in the small blind decided the price of poker was going up and bumped it to 52,000.

The original raiser folded and the middle position player decided to make the call and the heads-up players saw the flop of {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Pustina then led out for 45,000 and his opponent quickly folded.

Esposito Over One Million Chips

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Esposito raised on the button and the big blind made the call. The flop revealed {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and the big blind check-called a small continuation bet from Esposito.

The {a-Spades} turn brought no betting action and on the {6-Spades} river, the big blind quickly check-folded after Esposito sent 50,000 on the middle. Esposito, who started on Day 3 with 285,000, has no reach the million-mark in chips.

Aylar Lie

Into a pot of about 65,000 on the river, Aylar Lie jammed all in for 120,000 from the cutoff with the board reading {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

Her opponent on the button thought for a little while before he folded to send Lie a needed boost to her stack. Meanwhile at the same table, Roland Israealashvilie is starting to get short.

More Chips for Nguyen in Small Showdown Pot

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Thi Xoa Nguyen checked the {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} turn and then called a bet worth 28,000 by her table neighbour in the big blind. The {q-Hearts} river was checked and Nguyen tabled the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens, which was good enough to win the pot.

Kolonias Sends Chips to D'Ursel

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action started on the flop with Igor D'Ursel betting 8,000 from early position on a board of {7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Two players in the field made the call before Alexandros Kolonias check-raised to 50,000 from the small blind. D'Ursel called, and the field callers folded.

The turn brought the {2-Clubs}, Kolonias bet again, this time to 68,000. D'Ursel thought for about 30 seconds and made the call in position.

With 170,000 behind, Kolonias slowed down and checked. D'Ursel eyed up his opponent's stack and elected to move all in, the full 170,000 effective.

Kolonias thought for about 30 seconds and released his cards, the dealer pushed the pot to D'Ursel.
