Maschke Rivers a Flush to Stay Alive

Level 17 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Dennis Maschke opened from the middle position and picked up two callers in Somasekhar Sanampuri on the button and Dara Taherpour in the small blind.

The flop came 9102, and after Taherpour checked, Maschke continued with a bet. Sanampuri called before Taherpour put in a raise. The raise committed Maschke's remaining chips, and he was all in for 12,000. Sanampuri called as well, creating a side pot heading to the 8 turn.

Taherpour continued betting on both the turn and the 3 river, and Sanampuri called each time.

At showdown, Maschke tabled K6 for a rivered flush to secure the main pot. Taherpour revealed Q10 for top pair, which was enough to win the side pot after Sanampuri's hand was quickly sent into the muck from the dealer.

Robert Mizrachi
Robert Mizrachi

Michael Lipner raised first to act and was three-bet by Robert Mizrachi from directly behind. Action folded back to Lipner, who made it four bets to go. Undeterred, Mizrachi capped it at five bets and Lipner called.

Lipner check-called a bet from Mizrachi on the 2JQ flop and then check-raised a bet from Mizrachi on the 2 turn, which Mizrachi called.

Mizrachi called a bet from Lipner on the 9 river and Lipner showed QQ for a flopped set turned full-house.

A frustrated Mizrachi flung his cards into the muck and Lipner dragged the large pot.

Chanthabouasy's Higher Straight Wins

Level 17 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Action folded to the blinds, where Steve Chanthabouasy completed his small blind and Joseph Salorio raised from the big blind. Chanthabouasy called to see a flop.

On the 768 flop, Chanthabouasy checked and then check-raised after Salorio fired a bet. Salorio called, and the two players went to the turn.

The 9 turn saw Chanthabouasy continue betting, and Salorio called once more.

When the Q completed the board, Chanthabouasy fired again and Salorio quickly paid him off.

Salorio tabled A5 for a straight, but Chanthabouasy showed 108 for a higher straight. With the better hand, Chanthabouasy dragged in the pot.

Ufano Finds a Massive Hero Call to Survive

Level 17 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Jorge Ufano
Jorge Ufano

The pot was sitting at around 75,000 when the board ran out 104265. Dennis Weiss was first to act and put out a bet, putting Jorge Ufano to the test as he had just enough behind to continue.

Ufano went deep into the tank before eventually making the call for his tournament life.

Weiss tabled K9x for a king-high bluff, but Ufano revealed KJ, also king-high but with the superior kicker. That was enough to win the pot and secure a dramatic double-up, drawing clear reaction from the table after the hero call.

Nagel and Sterling Burst the Money Bubble

Level 17 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Miles Nagel
Miles Nagel

At one table, Miles Nagel moved all in for his last 9,000 from under the gun and action folded to Laura Wolkoff, who three-bet from the small blind. Kane Kalas called cold in the big blind for a side pot.

Kalas raised a bet from Wolkoff on the 253 flop and then Wolkoff check-called bets from Kalas on 6 turn and 5 river.

Kalas revealed A4 for a flopped wheel, which was best against Wolkoff's A5 and Nagel's A8 to scoop the large pot and eliminate Nagel.

At another table, Matthew Sterling was already all in from the big blind against Ni Hansen, who was in early position.

Ni Hansen: 87All in
Matthew Sterling: KQ

Sterling was a slight favorite to double with his overcards, but the 3237J runout paired Hanen's seven, meaning Sterling and Nagel split a min-cash between them.

Miressi Picks Off the Bluff

Level 16 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With around 33,000 already in the middle and the flop fully fanned out as 77J, Yongjae Lee led out from under the gun. Thomas Miressi in middle position made the call.

The action continued on the 8 turn, where Miressi once again stuck around after facing a bet.

The river paired the board again with the J, and Lee fired one more barrel. Miressi took his time before making the call, bringing the hand to a showdown.

Lee tabled KQ for king-high, but Miressi revealed QQ for queens and sevens, which was good enough to take down the pot.

Nagel Fades the Bubble

Level 16 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Miles Nagel moved all in for his last 6,000 first to act, Laura Wolkoff called in the small blind and Kane Kalas checked his option in the big blind.

"Good luck, Miles," Wolkoff offered.

Wolkoff check-called a bet from Kalas on the 328 flop and then both players checked down on the A turn and 2 river.

Wolkoff showed 106 for a busted flush draw and Kalas tabled 43 for a pair of threes.

Nagel revealed A8 for a turned pair of aces and tripled his short stack to stay alive.
