Josh Mancuso Cracks Kings

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

There was an open for 20,000 before Josh Mancuso moved all in. Another player with a big stack moved all in behind him and the original raiser folded.

Josh Mancuso: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

The flop was {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The player with Kings pumped his fist in mini-celebration as he hit top set.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river the {j-Spades}.

Mancuso pointed to his ten of spades as the board went runner-runner flush to bust his opponent.

“Oh my fucking God.” said the defeated player as he left. No one demurred.

Todd Brunson Quadruples Up

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Todd Brunson (as seen in a previous event)

Todd Brunson was down to his last 40,500 and he moved them in play from the second position, causing a chain reaction.

Next to Brunson, [Removed:532] called. A player who was next to act reshoved for about 130,000 or so, and his left-handed opponent called all-in for roughly 25,000. The avalanche finally stopped at [Removed:550], who released his hand, leaving a free money to compete for.

Todd Brunson: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Bigger stack: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Smaller stack: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Brunson's Cowboys were in a perfect situation for a quadruple, and the board {7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades} confirmed his victory. The player with the ace-queen departed.

Louis Russo Leads

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Louis Russo just made an excellent call on the river calling preflop in the blind with Ten-Seven and busting an opponent who barreled three streets.

That gave Russo another pot to his huge pile of chips close to 500,000.
