Quads for Wymore

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded around to Perry Wymore on the button, who moved all in for 105,000 to put himself at risk.

"No shame in folding," said Wymore, before Antonin Teisseire reluctantly called in the big blind.

Perry Wymore: QQ All in
Antonin Teisseire: 42

The board ran out 10Q10KQ, with Wymore improving to quad queens by the river.

"Why can't the rest of you call?" joked Wymore as he pulled in the pot.

Forster Drills a Set to Crack Sakakini's Bullets

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mark Forster
Mark Forster

After a bit of a raising war between Mark Forster on the button and Steve Sakakini in the big blind, Sakakini's stack of around 700,000 ended up in the middle with Forster trying to win them all.

Steve Sakakini: AA All in
Mark Forster: KK

It was poker's classic cooler, which Forster was on the wrong end of — preflop.

The 7K8 flop gave Forster a set, cracking Sakakini's aces and leaving him with two outs.

Sakakini was unable to find one of the two remaining aces in the deck on the J turn or 9 river, and he became the next Super Seniors casualty.

Clementi Takes From Raymer

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Glen Clementi limped in from early position and Greg Raymer raised to 120,000 from the cutoff. Clementi called and the flop fell 272.

Clementi check-called a continuation-bet of 125,000 from Raymer, and the 5 hit the turn, which checked through.

The 6 river was also checked, and Clementi won the pot with 44 for a pair of fours.

Pito Nearly Quadruples Up

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Louis Pito moved all in for 50,000 in the hijack, and was called by Frederic Soria in the small blind and Timothy Garner in the big blind.

Soria and Garner checked it down to the river on a board of K7J107, and Pito tabled the winner with K10 for two pair, kings and tens.

"Massive Mistake, Massive Mistake."

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Salvatore Busacca raised from under the gun and Michael Odeh three-bet to 250,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Busacca, he instantly jammed. After a brief moment of confusion, Busacca tabled AA, even though Odeh had yet to make the call.

Odeh asked the dealer for an exact count, as some of the T-100,000 chips were slightly obscured. It would cost him around 700,000 more to call, and Busacca tried to entice him into doing so by saying, "I know you like to gamble."

The table watched as Odeh weighed up the decision for about 30 seconds before eventually flashing QQ and sending them into the muck.

Busacca couldn't resist a final comment, smiling as he said, "Massive mistake, massive mistake."

After the hand, Odeh told PokerNews he had already decided he was folding his pocket queens as Busacca was only shoving aces. But, because Busacca was seated directly to his right and a few of the large denomination chips were hidden from view, he simply wanted to make sure he wasn't being laid the correct price to call.

The fold was correct, as with around 50 players remaining, Odeh is still in the hunt with a healthy stack.

Odeh also said with a smile, "I am the best player here."

After watching him correctly read Busacca for aces, no one at the table disagreed with his comment.

Big Slick Wins It for Forster

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mark Forster was all in preflop and at risk for 435,000 in the cutoff against Barbara Sargent in middle position.

Mark Forster: AK All in
Barbara Sargent: KQ

The flop came 48J with Forster's ace-king still out in front. Sargent picked up a flush draw on the J turn, but the 3 river was a brick, and the pot was pushed Forster's way.

Lemone Sends Apodaca Home

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action was picked up when the flop showed Q8J. Edward Apodaca placed a bet of 350,000, but Jonathan Lemone decided to go all in.

Apodaco gave it a minute before he called with his pocket aces AA. Lemone showed his 109, and it turned out that he had flopped a straight.

The dealer revealed the turn Q and river 4, which did not offer any help to Apadoca, who had to make his way to the rail.

Spaid Hits the Rail

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Thomas Spaid was in middle position and got it all in preflop for about 200,000 against the under-the-gun Lionel Barracano, who covered.

Thomas Spaid: J10 All in
Lionel Barracano: JJ

Spaid picked up an open-ended straight draw on the KQ8 flop, but couldn't get there when the board ran out 52.

Taras Gets It In Good

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop of 95K in a hand between Behrouz Keshtavar in middle position and Michael Taras in the cutoff.

With about 200,000 in the middle, Keshtavar bet 80,000, and Taras moved all in for 245,000 to put himself at risk. Keshtavar thought for a moment before flicking in the call.

Michael Taras: KQ All in
Behrouz Keshtavar: QQ

Taras was ahead with a pair of kings and secured the double-up when the board ran out K4.
