Stand-Up Trick Doesn't Work for Ioffe

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Igor Ioffe
Igor Ioffe

Igor Ioffe shoved for 1,070,000 from the hijack as action folded around to Philippe Souki in the big blind who called.

Igor Ioffe: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Philippe Souki: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Souki jumped ahead on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop with a pair of jacks. "I have to stand up. It worked the last three times," Ioffe said as he got up from his seat.

The {q-Spades} on the turn improved Souki to two pair as Ioffe wished the table luck before being informed he could still catch a ten. The river, though, came the {4-Hearts} and Ioffe didn't get any help.

Ong Takes From Smith

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With over 1,500,000 in the pot on a {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} completed board, Dingxiang Ong bet 800,000 in the big blind. William Smith was in middle position and thought for a bit before putting in the calling chips.

Ong revealed {k-Clubs}{6-Spades} to take the pot with a straight, while Smith flashed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} before his cards went into the muck.

George Turner opened to 240,000 in middle position and Tyler Hirschfeld shipped all in for 920,000 from the small blind Turner asked for a count and then called to put Hirschfeld at risk.

Tyler Hirschfeld: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
George Turner: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Hirschfeld held the lead with his pocket nines. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn gave Turner some more outs and he proceeded to ask Hirschfeld what he thought the river would be.

"An ace," Hirschfeld guessed. Indeed it was the {a-Clubs} on the river that gave Turner the best hand and Hirschfeld was eliminated.

Asher Conniff made it 240,000 to go from an early position and then called the shove by Imran Bhojani out of the blinds for 3,340,000 in total, which represented a decent portion of his stack and recent profit.

Imran Bhojani: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Asher Conniff: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Once the flop brought {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Bhojani asked for hearts but wasn't too unhappy about the {k-Spades} turn either. What followed was the blank {2-Diamonds} on the river and Bhojani remained in contention.

Hobbs Gets Revenge on Bittar

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kamal Bittar and James Hobbs, who tangled in an all-in pot earlier in the day that saw Bittar take the chip lead from his opponent by cracking kings with queens, were just involved in another massive pot that saw Hobbs get some retribution.

Bittar bet 425,000 from early position on a flop of {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Hobbs called from under the gun. The turn came the {j-Hearts} and Hobbs checked once again, then called when Bittar bet another 700,000.

The river came the {9-Spades} and Hobbs snap-shoved for 4,335,000. Bittar asked for a count as he tanked for several minutes.

"Sorry," he told the rest of the table.

"No problem. Take your time," Damian Salas replied.

Bittar eventually flicked in a chip to call as Hobbs turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a full house. Bittar went to muck his hand but the dealer forced him to turn over {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Rokita Takes a Small One From Sabat

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Roland Rokita opened to 240,000 in early position and Eddy Sabat defended the big blind.

The dealer spread the {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and Sabat check-called for 160,000, while both players checked the {2-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river.

"Eight-high," said Sabat as he rolled over {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Rokita tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to claim the pot and leave Sabat wishing a five came on the river.

Demersseman Turns the Tides against Lavenburg

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Adam Demersseman open-shoved for the last 2,125,000 and was flat-called by Michael Lavenburg in the small blind while Michael Duek in the big blind let go.

Adam Demersseman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Michael Lavenburg: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop gave Lavenburg the top two pair while Demersseman fell behind but held a gutshot. Instead, the {10-Clubs} fell on the turn to restore the preflop order and the {4-Spades} river brought no further upset.
