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

Action was five-way to the 7♣K♦9♦ flop, when Shaun Deeb fired 20,000 from the big blind. Scott Clements answered with a pot-sized raise to 82,000, producing folds around the table before Deeb committed the rest of his stack.

Shaun Deeb: K♠10♥10♦8♦6♥ All in
Scott Clements: K♣K♥10♣9♣4♣

Clements flopped a set of kings, improving to a full house after the Q♥ turn and 9♣ river to send Deeb to the rail. Clements then added another sizeable pot shortly after, climbing well over the 500,000 mark.

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

Action was picked up on the flop, which was four-ways, with 32,000 in the pot, on a 2♥8♠J♦ board.

The player in the big blind led out for 34,000. Sammy Farha, in early position, mulled over his decision before finding a fold. Calvin Anderson, in middle position, then raised to put the player on the button all in for 55,500. The button folded, and we were heads up, with the big blind at risk.

Big Blind: A♣K♠J♠4♣3♣ All in
Calvin Anderson: A♦K♥10♥3♥2♦

It was the big blind ahead with top pair and top kicker, but when the 10♣ came on the turn, it improved Anderson's two pair. The river 5♠ locked up the high for Anderson with two pair, 10s, and deuces, while the players chopped up the low with ace-three.
