No Back to Back for Duek

Ryan Lashmar

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Michael Duek, who finished in third place in last year's main event, opened to 65,000 from middle position and was called by Bradley Moskowitz in the big blind.

Moskowitz led into Duek for 65,000 on the K♠10♠6♦ flop and Duek made the call.

The turn was the 3♣. Moskowitz bet 400,000. Once again Duek made the call.

On the 7♦ river Moskowitz moved all in for approximately 1,900,000, slightly covering Duek.

After roughly three minutes Duek made the call, putting himself at risk. Duek showed down K♦J♠ for a flopped top pair which could not beat Moskowitz' K♣10♦ for flopped two pair. Duek's deep run came to an end just a few days short of making back to back final tables while Moskowitz received a full double up.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Albert Calderon was all in preflop for around 650,000 and was called by Jason Magnicari who had him covered and had the best hand.

Albert Calderon: J♥9♥
Jason Magnicari: A♦K♠

The flop came K♦Q♥7♦ and Magnicari cemented his lead with a pair of kings. However, the 10♦ rolled off on the turn to give Calderon a straight. It wasn't over yet as the 3♦ hit the river and Magnicari made a flush to eliminate Calderon

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

An enormous pile of chips amounting to more than 2,000,000 was already in the middle as Tim Van Loo and Alexander Villa went to the river on a board of 7♣A♠10♣K♥3♥.

Van Loo, in the small blind, shoved all in for around 2,200,000 as Villa began tanking. "Show if I fold? We're going on break in 40 seconds anyway," Villa asked Van Loo, who remained silent.

Several minutes went by until Villa tapped the felt and slid his cards into the muck. "Show the bluff," a few tablemates said to Van Loo, who slowly took in the massive pot, then turned over 7♦6♦ to a collective gasp from around the table.

Vampan Gets Outrageous Bluff Through

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Toby Lewis opened to 100,000 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Vampan in the cutoff as well as Nicholas Rigby in the small blind and Ryan Brown in the big blind.

All four players checked through the 5♠6♥Q♥ flop to the 10♣ turn at which point Rigby led out for 325,000. That got a quick fold from Brown but Lewis made the call. Vampan then decided to raise to 750,000, forcing Rigby out of the hand with Lewis flatting.

Lewis checked after the 5♥ completed the board. Vampan thought for a few moments and then pulled the trigger by moving all in for 2,285,000, about a pot sized bet. That sent Lewis deep into the tank as he pondered his decision for well over five minutes. At long last, he relinquished his A♥10♥ holding but was shown the bad news after Vampan turned over 8♣7♣ for the missed straight draw. "I'm a monster" Vampan shouted as he went to share a beer with his rail.

Tyler Foran

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tony Dunst opened 110,000 in the cutoff and Joey Spanne three-bet 250,000 on the button. Dunst put in a four-bet to 1,000,000 and Spanne made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 7♥6♠2♥, and Dunst continued for 550,000. Spanne called.

The 8♥ fell on the turn, and Dunst didn't slow down firing a bet of 1,250,000. Spanne matched the bet.

When the 5♣ completed the board, Dunst eyed up Spanne's stack and announced all-in. Spanne had 2,650,000 remaining and tanked for about three minutes before making the call.

Dunst tabled A♦A♥, and Spanne tabled the other two aces, showing A♠A♣.
