Cavanaugh Running on Fumes

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dan Sepiol raised to 55,000 on the button, and James Cavanaugh called in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 6108 flop, but when Cavanaugh checked again on the 5 turn, Sepiol bet 30,000. That was enough to claim the pot, as Cavanaugh folded, leaving himself with six big blinds.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Ari Engel raised to 55,000 on the button and Martin Zamani three-bet from the big blind. Engel committed his last 290,000 into the middle and Zamani called to put Engel at risk.

Ari Engel: AAK5All in
Martin Zamani: QQ96

"You think you're gonna win it?" Engel said to Zamani as they tabled their hands.

"I would be some money on my hand if you wanna side bet," Zamani replied.

The AQ7 flop improved both players to a set and the 3 turn further improved Engel to the nut flush.

"You probably got me," Zamani conceded.

The 8 completed the board, keeping Engel best for the double up.

Hansen Avoids the Lonis Jinx

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Aksel Hansen raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Maxi Lehmanski moved all in from the big blind. Hansen called for 185,000.

Aksel Hansen: KKJ10 All in
Maxi Lehmanski: AQ52

The KQJ flop gave Hansen top set and a big lead in the pot. "It's going to be hard for you to lose this one," Jesse Lonis told him, and Hansen indeed held up through the 4 turn and 5 river to double up.

"I really thought you were going to jinx him," Martin Zamani told Lonis.

Plesuv Nearly Triples up; Mighall Out in Three-Way Clash

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv opened to 55,000 from early position and was called by Phillip Mighall in middle position. Maxi Lehmanski squeezed to 235,000 from the small blind and both Plesuv and Mighall called for a massive three-way pot.

The flop came 1039 and it didn't take long for all three players to commit their stacks into the middle, with Mighall on the shortest stack and Lehmanski with a covering stack.

Phillip Mighall: J1097All in
Pavel Plesuv: KQJ4All in
Maxi Lehmanski: AA82

The Q turn immediately improved Plesuv to the nut straight and the 6 river changed nothing — awarding the entire pot to Plesuv and eliminating Mighall from contention.
