Straight Flush for Deak

Jacob Wilson

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player at the table recounted preflop action. In it, Ferenc Deak open-potted to 21,000 under the gun, and action folded round to Felipe Ramos in the small blind. He repotted to 69,000, and Deak slid in the call.

Action checked down all the way to the river, with the board reading 5♦7♠6♠6♥3♠. Ramos checked for a third time, prompting Deak to bet out for 75,000. Ramos put in the call, but his A♠Q♠XxXx was no good against Deak, who held the nuts with A♣Q♣5♠4♠ for a straight flush.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of A♥2♦10♥, and after a bet from the cutoff, Garik Tamasian potted it from the small blind for around 170,000. Nick Guagenti called for his last 100,000 from the big blind, forcing the other player in the hand to fold.

Nick Guagenti: A♣J♥10♦5♦ All in
Garik Tamasian: Q♥J♠7♠6♥

Tamasian had a flush draw and straight draw against the top two pair of Guagenti. The 2♠ turn didn't change anything, but the 5♥ river gave Tamasian the flush he was looking for to win the pot and eliminate Guagenti.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brad Albrinck got all in for his remaining 150,000 chips from the big blind. The board read 7♦9♠A♦ and there was 125,000 in the middle. Both Giuseppe Pantaleo in the small and Billy Tarango, who was under the gun, made the call, bringing in the J♥ on the turn. Giuseppe Pantaleo then shoved for 51,000, and Tarango stuck in the call.

Brad Albrinck: A♥Q♦J♦6♣ All in
Giuseppe Pantaleo: J♣10♥7♣7♠ All in
Billy Tarango: A♠K♠9♦8♦

The river 4♦ confirmed the main pot for Albrinck with his queen-high flush, with the side pot going to Tarango, who also had five diamonds. Pantaleo stood up, and started pacing around using expletives loudly. Before exiting the tournament area, he punted a bottle that then struck a member of the media team in the midriff, and carried on swearing as he headed to the payout desk.

Stenberg Doubles; Nguyen Busts

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Max Stenberg managed to get his last 48,000 into the middle against Manh Nguyen. Nguyen only had slightly more chips than Stenberg, so this pot was crucial for both players.

Max Stenberg: A♠K♣7♣2♦ All in
Manh Nguyen : A♣A♥K♠3♦

Stenberg was behind to the pocket aces of Nguyen heading to the 9♦7♦10♠ flop. The Q♠ appeared on the turn and Stenberg was one card away from elimination. However, the river was the 7♠ to give Stenberg trip sevens, and he doubled up through Nguyen.

Nguyen was unable to spin up his short-stack and was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mesbah Guerfi shoved from the small blind for 170,000, with a board reading 10♦7♦Q♥2♥ and slightly over 200,000 in the middle. John Major didn't have to think for too long before making the call.

Mesbah Guerfi: Q♦10♥10♣9♠ All in
John Major: Q♠J♥10♠8♠

Major was looking to chop with a queen or scoop with a nine, but the 3♠ river gave his opponent the full double.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Cameron Tung raised to 20,000 under the gun and only Ian Matakis called from the big blind.

Matakis check-called a bet of 30,000 from Tung on the J♠3♣K♦ flop.

The 7♠ turn got a second check from Matakis, and a second bet by Tung, this time for 105,000. Matakis check-jammed for Tung's remaining 250,000. Tung went into the tank for around a minute before folding and surrendering the pot to Matakis.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chun Li threw out a pot-sized bet of 140,000 from the big blind on a board reading Q♦3♥J♦K♣, leaving just 15,000 behind. John Riordan in the cutoff put him all in, and he made the call. "Straight?" asked Riordan.

Chun Li: Q♥10♣9♦2♦ All in
