Marshall Hits the Flush River

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Marshall raised to 24,000 and it folded to Hugues Girard who called in the big blind.

Both checked on the 532 flop and a 5 fell on the turn. Girard bet for 18,000 and Marshall made the call.

The 7 completed the board and Girard sent a few 25,000 chips into the middle, putting Marshall at risk for his last 84,000. The latter snap-called. Girard tabled 45 for trips but Marshall had 96 for the flush and took down the double up.

Battle of the Short Stacks

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Play was already underway with Danserban Borlan and Jeffrey Rospond all-in both below the average stack and looking for a chance to chip up.

Jeffrey Rospond: QQ All in
Danserban Borlan: 33

Rospond had a shorter stack and was waiting to see if his queens would hold. After fixing the cards in the middle, the dealer finally fanned out the board 107JK10. Rospond scored a much-needed double up.

Primus Secures Double with a Full House

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up with Arie Kliper in late position and Benjamin Primus in the big blind in an all-in showdown and waiting for the dealer to peel the board.

Benjamin Primus: QQ All in
Arie Kliper: 33

Primus lead was strengthened when the flop came J10A giving him additional outs to improve his hand. The Q turn boosted his chance for a double-up as it gave him a set. The A river gave him a full house cementing his chips to double.

Cai Still Alive

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jessica Cai
Jessica Cai

After taking a huge hit, losing a preflop race with AK against Richard Pipe's JJ, Jessica Cai was down to just 22,000 chips. Two hands later, she was back in the mix.

She won the first hand with 77 against Joe Hindry's A7 and the board came 21010QJ. On the second hand, she went all in against Hindry again, this time as a huge underdog.

Jessica Cai: 55All in
Joe Hindry: KK

Cai, who is on her third cash of the series, improved immediately on the flop, as the door card gave her a set, and that was the winning hand through the runout of 63549.

Jalil Mekouane raised to 25,000 and Jampana Appalaraju three-bet to 66,000 next to him. It came back to Mekouane who made the call.

The flop went J84 and Mekouane check-called Appalaraju's continuation for 59,000. On the K turn, Mekouane checked again and Appalaraju fired 165,000. Mekouane shoved and Appalaraju snap-called, at risk for a remaining stack around 190,000.

Jampana Appalaraju: AQ All in
Jalil Mekouane: KJ

Mekouane had hit two pair and the river 3 bricked to send Appalaraju to the payout desk.
