Sunshine Finds a Double

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu opened from under the gun to 80,000, and Brandon Sunshine raised to 520,000, next to act.

Sunshine had left 65,000 behind as the players were on a pay jump. Action returned to Cazacu, who moved all in, and once he was assured of the pay jump, Sunshine called.

Brandon Sunshine: AK All in
Adrian Cazacu: AQ

The flop 7JJ kept Sunshine in the lead, but offered opportunities for Cazacu to chop the pot.

The turn 3 and river 9 were no help to Cazacu, though, and Sunshine pulled in a big double up.

Mizrachi Outdraws Dimitrov

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Veselin Dimitrov open-shoved to 350,000 in middle position. Michael Mizrachi asked for a count and went into deep thought, counted his chips, thinking of what to do next. He finally announced an all-in, prompting the rest of the table to fold.

Veselin Dimitrov: A9 All in
Michael Mizrachi: A10

From behind, Dimitrov was pushed into the lead when the flop came 739 spiking a pair on the board. The 8 gave Mizrachi an open-ended straight draw that could possibly create an upset for Dimitrov.

The river 10 didn't complete Mizrachi's straight but gave him a higher pair which was enough to end Dimitrov's tournament run.

Sagra Saved by the River

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

With roughly 150,000 in the pot, Ignacio Sagra, Joao Simao and Ryan Riess were looking at a board of 853.

Sagra checked from the small blind, which prompted Simao to place a bet of 40,000. Riess then responded with a raise to 120,000, before seeing Sagra check-raise all-in for 310,000. Simao got out of the way, and Riess went into the tank. After taking some time to think the hand through, Riess made the call.

Ignacio Sagra: J10 All in
Ryan Riess: A9

Riess had made the hero-call with just ace-high and was correct, but there were several cards he needed to avoid.

The turn 6 kept Riess in the lead, and gave him a flush draw of his own, but the river J was just what Sagra was looking for, his top pair giving him the best hand.

Sagra's stack was double-checked before the dealer pushed the huge double-up in his direction.
