Rafael Reveals His Cards

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sean Rafael
Sean Rafael

With around 90,000 in the pot on a completed board of 69687, Sean Rafael checked from middle position and faced a bet of 55,000 by Miles Ward on the button. Rafel decided to check-jam for around 275,000, causing Ward to go deep into the tank. After agonizing over the decision for quite some time, Ward reluctantly folded.

Rafael was happy to put Ward out of his misery and reveal what he had shoved with, as he smiled and windmilled J9 across the table for just a pair of nines.

Hankins an Ace Magnet

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Robert Hankins raised to 8,000 and Nenad Cvetkovic three-bet to 30,000 from the big blind. Hankins four-bet to 83,000 and Cvetkovic slid his cards forward towards the muck.

En-route to the muck, his cards were intercepted by Hankins.

"You show me both and I'll show you mine," said Hankins, but Cvetkovic folded. Hankins turned over the A causing some reaction at his table, with Hankins apparently only having hands containing the ace of diamonds. He then also revealed the A for pocket aces.

Also at the table is big stack Susan Faber with over 600,000.

De Lima Doubles

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There were roughly 16,000 chips in the pot on a board of J54QQ, Gustavo De Lima who was in the big blind led all in for 9,500, Justin Lapka who was in early position went deep into the tank.

Lapka was clearly frustrated with himself as he announced "I wish I paid attention more, I thought everyone covered me".

A short while passed and Lapka made the call. De Lima tabled the king-high flush with K8, and Lapka tabled AJ.

Cader Sets Up Fiscal for the KO

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Miguel Fiscal opened to 6,500 from early position and was called by Adam Cader in the small blind.

On the 976 flop, Fiscal continued with bet before Cader check-raised to 22,000. Fiscal quickly announced all-in for 77,000 total and Cader snapped it off.

Miguel Fiscal: AJ All in
Adam Cader: 99

Fiscal decided to go with his nut flush draw but he was well behind the top set of Cader. Fiscal could not find the needed spade on the 43 runout as he was sent to the exit by the hands of Cader.

Kay's Heater Continues

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Joshua Kay raised to 7,000 and Chris Audrain three-bet to 30,000 from the next seat. Kay called.

Kay checked on the flop of AJ3 and Audrain continued for 21,000. Kay check-raised to 47,000 and Audrain called. Kay then moved all in on the 4 turn and Audrain called with less.

Chris Audrain: AK All in
Joshua Kay: JJ

Audrain had top pair but was drawing dead against the set of Kay as the 4 river improved Kay to a full house to confirm Audrain's elimination.

Audrain has had quite the day having picked up aces to crack kings in the first level of the day. "Did I just walk into a heater?” a player who had moved to Kay's table said earlier in the tournament.

Bunch made the call, and as the shorter of the two stacks, with 92,000, he was the player at risk.

John Bunch: 66 All in
Sebastien Aube: AK

The flop 32Q was good for Bunch, but the A turn saw Aube take the lead.

There was no help for Bunch on the 2 river, and he headed to the exit.
