"I Got You Crushed"

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action started when Brian Stroh moved all in from the button for 5,100. Ruben Pahino called from middle position and the players flipped their cards over.

Brian Stroh: K8All in
Ruben Pahino: J8

"I got you crushed" Stroh commented as they headed to a flop of 539.

Pahino hit a diamond flush draw on the flop, Stroh still in the lead with his king-high as the turn card 4 changed nothing.

The 8 peeled off on the river, and Stroh doubled up as the players were both in good spirits smile and laughing.

Boat v Boat

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

We picked up the action on the river after Tasuku Maruo bet 12,500 on a board of A7669. Joel Gossett raised him from the cutoff to put him at risk for ~25,000 more. Maruo was in the tank for over three minutes before making the call.

Tasuku Maruo: 76 All in
Joel Gossett: A6

Maruo wanted to fold, but just couldn't get away and he heads to the rail during level 5.

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 600

Press Flops a Flush

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sivaraman Ramakrishnan moved all in for 5,800 from under the gun and was called by Sam Press from the cutoff.

Sivaraman Ramakrishnan: AJAll in
Sam Press: K10

Press had Ramakrishnan drawing very slim on the flop of A94 leaving him looking for a perfect-perfect runout to stay alive.

As the turn card 2 hit the table, Ramakrishnan stood up from the table and left the tournament area.

A 3 completed the board as overkill of Press's nut flush, as Press stacked his newly acquired chips.
