Wendy Nguyen
Wendy Nguyen

Hersh Mahajan opened 400,000 in early position and Wendy Nguyen jammed for 1,150,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Mahajan and he dropped a chip across the line to make the call.

Wendy Nguyen: JJ All in
Hersh Mahajan: 1010

"Good playing with you guys," Said Nguyen as the cards were turned face up.

The dealer fanned a flop of 1076 bringing her thoughts to life. The 5 turn and 2 river were no help as she headed to the payout desk.

Albano Stays Alive

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Marcos Albano went all in and was isolated by the commanding stack of Paul Serrate.

Marcos Albano: QJ
Paul Serrate: AK

The flop was quite the sweat for Alabano as it fanned out 10109. The turn didn't change anything with the 3 but when the J rolled off the deck, Alabano was on his feet and celebrating.

Serrate lamented Albano's hand choice but gave him the nod that it was suited.

Tamasauskas Doubles Up With Flush Over Flush

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 400,000 and Vladas Tamasauskas made the call in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a 5A4 flop, this was an action flop as both players put all their chips in the middle.

Vladas Tamasauskas: Q3 All in
Cutoff: 75

The K turn card quickly ended the drama, and the meaningless 3 fell on the river. Vladas Tamasauskas welcomed the newly aquired chips to his stack.

Three-Way All-In Results in No Busts

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Benjamin Hu jammed 1,225,000 under the gun and Tolga Gesli moved all-in as well from the cutoff. Paul Serrate was in the small blind and went into the tank while looking at the clock. After about 45 seconds he called off his stack of 2,575,000 and all three hands were tabled.

Benjamin Hu: 66 All in
Paul Serrate: KK All in
Tolga Gesli: QJ

Serrate was in great shape to score a double up and knockout Hu but the J9875 run out gave Hu a straight to stay alive and Serrate took down the side pot.
