Koper's Nut Flush Leaves Zenonos On Fumes

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Katelin Koper's raise from middle position found Christopher Zenonos in the big blind who raised the bet up to 165,000. Koper soon four-bet to 350,000 and Zenonos called brewing a massive pot as both players see a flop of QJ2.

Despite the bold action pre-flop, this particular board had both players check through to a turn, the 10 now putting a four-flush on the board. Zenonos checked to Koper who open-jammed for her last 351,000. Zenonos called and the cards were tabled.

Katelin Koper: AA
Christopher Zenonos: AK

Both players out of their seats, the river could no longer save Zenonos against Koper's nut flush and left him with crumbs.

Loucas Making a Comeback

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Christian Loucas had lost the majority of his chips when he and Brian Gatliff had pocket queens and Gatliff ran out a four-card flush to scoop the pot. Gatliff was kind enough to buy him a beverage though for the suck-out.

Loucas was right back in the action though as his last 90,000 in chips were at risk against Julien Perouse.

Christian Loucas: A7
Julien Perouse: KK

Loucas had run into a monster but the AQQ flop gave him the lead. The 5 landed on the turn and the A on the river filled Loucas to a full house to remain in the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine raised the button to 25,000. Corey Bierria, a self-confessed non-believer, open-jammed for the rest of Nasreddine's stack to 240,000 from the big blind. Nasreddine snapped called and the hands were tabled.

Rania Nasreddine: KQ
Corey Bierria: 86

The board ran out the K4994. Nasreddine's top pair was good for the full double-up.

Bierria was first to confess "I made a big oopsie".

Wilson and Perez Clash in All-In Pot

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tournament chip leader Scott Wilson raised to 28,000 after an early position limp by Xavier Perez, who called the additional 16,000, and both players saw a flop of K36.

Perez checked to Wilson who continued with a bet of 17,000, which Perez called. Perez checked the 6 turn over to Wilson who this time bet 70,000, and Perez once again called.

The 3 river double-paired the board and Perez checked to Wilson one last time. Wilson thought for a moment before announcing all-in and Perez quickly released his hand, allowing Wilson to add to his growing chip lead.

Tillmann Gets Spicy with Pocket Sixes

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

As retold by Ryan Tillmann, he opened under the gun to 24,000 and Michael Sabbia defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of Qx9x8x and Sabbia check-called a bet of 22,000.

The 5x landed on the turn and Sabbia checked once again before facing a bet of 66,000. Sabbia eventually let his hand go and showed the Jx9x for a pair of nines. Tillmann tabled that he was playing his 6x6x extra aggressively as he raked in the pot.
