Veiga Hits a Set in Three-Way All In

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Diogo Veiga was all in for 410,000 in the hijack, Pascal Pflock stuck in his last 80,000 in the big blind, and the button had both players covered and at risk.

Pascal Pflock: J♣8♣ All in
Diogo Veiga: 6♣6♦ All in
Button: A♥7♣

The 8♦6♠3♠ flop gave Pflock top pair, but Veiga spiked a set and held up through the 10♠ turn and K♠ river to win the pot and send Pflock to the rail while doubling up off the button.

Action folded back around to Gorham, who four-bet all in, putting the button at risk.

With about 525,000 behind, the button took some time to think through his decision before tossing his cards into the muck.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Shawn Rice raised to 40,000 in early position and a player on the button called. The big blind then three-bet to 430,000, leaving just around 50,000 behind, and Rice called. The button quickly folded.

The flop came 10♠9♣8♥ and Rice bet enough to put his opponent all in. The big blind looked up at the tournament clock and waited a minute before calling.

All-In Player: K♠Q♠ All in
Shawn Rice: A♦A♥

Rice was ahead with his aces and the at-risk player couldn't catch up on the 2♣ turn and 4♥ river as he was sent to the rail in the closing moments of Day 4.

The button then admitted he folded two eights. "Once you called, I knew you had a big hand," he told Rice.

Arriving on the turn of 6♦7♣5♠K♣ Biao Ding checked from middle position and David Miscikowski followed suit in the cutoff.

The J♠ river then arrived and Ding bet a tiny 30,000 into the pot of 300,000. Miscikowski raised it up to a massive 390,000, sending Ding in the tank for several minutes.

Eventually, he folded his hand and granted the pot to his opponent.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Parker Talbot opened to 40,000 from the hijack and got called by Brandon Cantu in the cutoff.

A flop of 7♣3♠3♣ was spread across the table and Talbot continued for 30,000, which Cantu called.

Both players checked the 7♦ turn to see the 6♠ fall on the river. Talbot fired 35,000, and Cantu made a quick call.

Talbot was quick to let Cantu know that he had nothing, which prompted Cantu to show A♠Q♣ for the pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Sherwood moved all-in for 245,000 in the hijack and Alexander Tkatschew asked for a count one seat over before he called, all players behind folded.

Robert Sherwood: A♣10♥ All in
Alexander Tkatschew: 9♠9♣

The J♥4♦2♠ flop kept Sherwood with some hope, but that all vanished when the 9♦ turn improved Tkatschew to a set of nines and left the Brit drawing dead. That made the K♣ river a formality and Sherwood headed to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stephen Song	4,500,000 125,000	125,000

Picking up the action on the turn, Boris Kolev in late position was involved in a hand with Christopher Vitch in the big blind.

With the board reading 6♣8♥Q♠6♦ Vitch bet 80,000. Kolev made the call to see a river.

Vitch checked following the 9♦ river, prompting Kolev to bet 250,000. After some consideration, Vitch laid down his hand to take a hit to his stack while sending Kolev north of the three million mark.

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of 10♥8♠7♣4♣, Biao Ding bet 250,000 from the cutoff before James Kohl moved all in for 640,000 in the big blind. An early-position player called for his last 540,000 and Ding tanked for a few minutes before folding.

The all-in player showed K♣10♣ for top pair and a flush draw, while Kohl had 6♣5♣ for a straight. The river was the K♦ and Kohl took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

"I wanted his chips. If you folded a set, that's a hell of a fold," Kohl told Ding after the hand.
