Mayekar Calls Off in Massive Pot Against Ogeare; Da Recalls His Stack-Saving Call

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Seymour Ogeare
Seymour Ogeare

Around 90,000 was in the middle as Seymour Ogeare and Sanjay Mayekar went to the river on a completed board of 2AA79, Ogeare then moved all in, putting Mayekar to a decision for the rest of his 30,000.

"I think you have kings with the king of hearts," Mayekar said. Ogeare remained silent with the collar of his sweater covering his face as Mayekar took more than five minutes. A tablemate finally called the clock, and the countdown had nearly run out before Mayekar committed his last chips.

His suspicions proved correct, as Ogeare showed KK for a flush. Mayekar tossed AK into the muck as he made his way to the exit.

"That has to be the biggest pot of the day. Almost 200K," a tablemate said after the hand.

Peter Da at the same table then recalled the action when he busted Naseem Salem earlier. According to Da, Salem had raised to 900 in early position and a player in the hijack three-bet to 1,800. Da four-bet to 4,700 and Salem five-bet to 16,000. Only Da called.

The flop came 962 and Salem continued for 7,000. Da called and a Qx fell on the turn. Saleem then moved all in and Da tanked for a few minutes until he had the clock called on him.

Da ended up calling for 25,500 with AxQ, while Salem had KxJ. The river was another diamond to give both players a flush, but Da won the pot with his queen to send Salem to the rail.

Francis Obadun raised to 1,000 in middle position and Jamie Gold three-bet to 3,500 on the button. Obadun called and they saw a flop of 835.

Gold then moved all in for 10,600 and Obadun quickly called. "I guess I'm out," Gold said, standing up from his seat even before the cards were revealed.

Jamie Gold: A5 All in
Francis Obadun: J7

Gold, to his surprise, found himself ahead against Obadun's flush draw, but the A turn gave Obadun his flush. Gold needed to fill up on the river, but he missed the 4 and the 2006 Main Event champion was sent to the rail.

Chris Da-Silva raised to 900 in early position. Ashira Lavine sat next to him, and she reraised to 2,100. It folded back to Da-Silva, who called the small three-bet.

Da-Silva check-called Lavine's continuation-bet of 2,500 on the K5Q flop, but he check-folded when Lavine bet 4,500 on the 2 turn.

Your 15 minutes Are Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dan Stavila
Dan Stavila

Dan Stavila faced a difficult decision.

After he bet 5,500 on the button with the board reading 39566, Alexander Bunin check-raised all in with more chips than Stavila behind.

Stavila went deep into the tank.

Tablemates agree that it was a full 15 minutes. Finally, one of them called for the clock. The tournament director came over and gave Stavila 30 seconds to act.

A mere three seconds before his hand was to be declared dead, Stavila placed his chips on the felt to indicate a call.

Bunin showed him the bad news: 99. He had rivered a full house.

Stavila turned over K2, but the king-high flush he made on the turn wasn't good enough.

A player told Bunin that the wait must have been the greatest 15 minutes of his life.

"Yeah, but don't tell my wife," Bunin said.

Ivey then bet 2,500 and Cheong again called. Ivey moved all in for around 5,000 on the 4 river and Cheong called. Ivey had Q2 for two pair, but Cheong had pulled ahead on the turn with Q7 to send Ivey to the rail.

Andre Grohnert moved all in for his last 4,100 from the button, and Garry Gates made the call from the small blind, prompting both players to table their hands.

Andre Grohnert: 44All in
Garry Gates: 88

Grohnert needed help to stay alive, but the board ran out 107QK9, offering no lifeline for his pocket fours. The German online qualifier saw his Main Event run come to an end faster than he would have hoped, while Gates continued to build his stack.

Arthur Doesn't Stay Down For Long

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Riva Arthur
Riva Arthur

Riva Arthur bet 6,000 from early position on a flop of KQJ and Clayton Thompson raised to 14,000 in the hijack. Arthur called and the 5 fell on the turn.

Thompson then moved all in for 51,000 and Arthur practically beat him into the pot. Thompson turned over J10 for a flush, but Arthur had the nut flush with A2. The river was the 8 and Arthur raked in the massive pot to send Thompson to the rail and her stack past 250,000.

"You finally won a pot. It's been 10 minutes," tablemate DJ Mackinnon joked.

"Finally," Arthur added as she snapped a photo of the board.
