Dealmeida Bombs River

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a heads-up river of 7♣3♣K♥K♦2♣, Daniel Dealmeida was first to act in the massive pot of over 143,000 and he chose to just shove the rest of his stack in the middle. The action was then on his opponent, Eric Hayes, who went deep into the tank.

After a good minute of debating about his tournament life, Hayes decided to let it go and tossed his cards into the muck.

"if I shove turn you fold?" Hayes inquired.

"Maybe, not sure," Dealmeida responded as he raked in the pot.

It was a good time to wake up with pocket jacks in the small blind when a late position player raised to 6,000 and the button went all in for 28,000. Michael Lech looked down at two jacks and four-bet all in for 53,000 and the late position player with the most chips made the call.

Button: A♠10♣
Michael Lech: J♣J♠
Late position player: A♦K♣

The board ran out 9♣3♦9♥J♦6♣ and the jacks made Lech the victor with a full house.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Right before the break one of the fan favorites Scotty Nguyen received a bad beat. Nguyen was very short stacked but pushed all of his chips in for about 3,000 after Joe Couden raised from the cutoff for 6,500.

Scotty Nguyen: A♣J♥
Joe Couden: 7♣3♠

The board came in favor of the Couden when it came Kx7x3x and the rest of cards did not affect the result that Nguyen was knocked out of the tournament.

Greenblatt Scores with the Full House

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player under the gun was all in for 2,000 and the player in late position raised to 6,000, the hijack called and the small blind, Alex Greenblatt also called. The flop came out with 6♣A♣A♦ and the small blind checked, the late position player bet 6,000, the hijack called and Greenblatt raised to 13,000. The late position player folded in fast motion and the hijack made the call.

The turn brought the 2♠ and the player all in walked away from the table while saying, "Goodnight", which raised some eyebrows from the other players. Greenblatt moved all in for 29,500 and the hijack went into the think tank and then made the call.

Under-the-Gun Player: XxXx
Alex Greenblatt: A♠9♠
Hijack: 10♥10♦

Greenblatt was sitting pretty with his trip aces and the river sealed the deal with the 9♣, making it a full house for the win.
