Herbie Teope

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

Action picked up in a hand involving Steven Sarmiento, who just moved all in against two-time WSOP bracelet winner Joao Simao.

Simao asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed Sarmiento was in for his remaining 1,200,000.

Simao then made the call to put Sarmiento at risk.

Steven Sarmiento: Q♥Q♦ All in
Joao Simao: A♦J♦

The dealer fanned 6♦8♦9♣ on the flop, keeping Sarmiento in the lead. Simao, though, picked up a flush draw to go with his lone overcard to Sarmiento’s queens.

The 7♣ appeared on the turn, but Simao hit A♥ on the river to send Sarmiento to the rail.

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

Tim Reilly raised to 250,000 in the hijack, and Juto Misaka defended in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦Q♥J♣, and Misaka check-called a bet of 130,000 from Reilly.

The turn landed the 5♠, and Misaka check-called again, this time for 350,000.

On the 3♦ river, Misaka checked once more, and Reilly bet enough to put Misaka all-in, who had 795,000 behind.

With his tournament life on the line, Misaka flicked in the call and tabled J♥9♣, for a pair of jacks. Reilly showed A♦9♥, for ace-high, and the pot was pushed Misaka's way.
