Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bob Mather raised to 800 from the cutoff and the button and both blinds came along.

The flop rolled out Q♣8♣6♣ and action checked over to Mather who bet 1,500 which only the button called.

On the turn K♦ Mather bet 2,000 and was called again with action checking through on the river Q♦.

Mather turned over A♣A♦ for aces up which was good for the pot as a tablemate commented "that's the third time you've had aces today."

"And I'm below starting stack," responded Mather "what does that say about me?"

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Last year's WSOP Millionaire Maker runner-up Florian Ribouchon defended from the big blind after Nana Sanechika opened to 1,000 from middle position.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣2♣10♥ and both players checked. But on the 6♣ turn, Ribouchon bet 800. Sanechika raised to 2,500, then called for her last 17,000 after Ribouchon moved all-in.

Nana Sanechika: J♠10♦ All in
Florian Ribouchon: K♣Q♣

Sanechika called with two pair but ran into Ribouchon's flush, so she was eliminated after the 2♥ river.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the river, the board was reading 4♦5♦9♣7♦K♦ when Alex Lynskey in the hijack bet 8,000 and was called by Kevin Rabichow in the cutoff. However Andre Akkari in the small blind check-raised all-in for 52,200. He made Lynskey fold, but Rabichow went deep into the tank.

"Action was check-raise on the flop and everybody checked the turn," a player at the table explained while Rabichow was trying to make a decision.

After approximately 5 minutes, Rabichow eventually decided to fold and Akkari discreetly revealed 3♦3♣ for a very small flush.
