Harry Rubin
Harry Rubin

Amin Chehade raised from under the gun to 175,000, with Harry Rubin calling in early position. Daniel Chan came along in the big blind, and checked the 4♠4♥10♣ flop.

Chehade and Rubin also declined to bet, and the Q♦ turn hit the table. Chan and Chehade checked once more, and Rubin fired 125,000 into the middle.

Chan let his hand go, while Chehade called to the 5♥ river. Both players checked it down, and Chehade tabled A♠A♦10♥7♠ for two pair to take the pot.

Shortly after, Rubin took the last of Anson Tsang's stack to recover some lost chips.

Muhamet Perati: A♦K♣K♠9♣ All in
Daniel Chan: A♣Q♥J♣10♥

Perati just needed to fade some clubs and he did as the board ran out Q♠ on the turn and the J♦ on the river to send Perati the big pot.

Robert Emmerson: K♦10♣9♦4♣ All in
Nixon Diaz: A♠A♦Q♦3♣

Diaz saw his lead disappear when Emmerson made two pair on the K♠ turn. The 6♣ left Emmerson in front, cracking aces to earn the double-up.

Schoff Gets the Pay Jump

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Christopher Hannel raised to 150,000 from under the gun, and Justin Schoff moved all in for 375,000 in middle position. Hannel took some time before making the call, and the cards were turned up.

Justin Schoff: Q♣Q♦J♣3♥ All in
Christopher Hannel: A♠K♦J♦4♥

Schoff's queen could not hold on the J♥3♠K♥7♥7♠ runout, but he had a small reason to celebrated after making the latest pay jump in 47th position.

Komem Flops a Boat

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Paulo Villena Gini raised to 175,000 from the small blind. Dan Komem, in the big blind with just 200,000 behind, had the clock called on him after tanking for an extended period while a pay jump loomed. As the floor counted down to three, he finally made the call.

Gini put Komem all in for 30,000 when the flop came A♣6♦6♥, and Komem beat him into the pot laughing.

Dan Komem: A♠A♥K♠3♥ All in
Paulo Villena Gini: Q♦J♣10♣5♣

Not even a sweat insight for Gini as the board ran out 2♦ on the turn and the K♥ on the river.

Nixon Diaz

Nixon Diaz led out for 75,000 from the small blind on the K♦Q♦4♣ flop, and James Sedlacek made the call in the big blind. Another bet from Diaz followed the 2♦ turn, this time for 125,000.

Sedlacek called again, and Diaz tossed out a smaller bet of 50,000 on the 8♣ river. Sedlacek called, and Diaz revealed A♣7♣6♦3♦ for a flush. That was good to claim the pot, as Sedlacek mucked.
