Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Darryl Fish
Darryl Fish

Among those to boost their stacks in the orange section were Harry Lodge, Ben Yu and Jeffrey Turton while Ari Engel and Darryll Fish dropped to less than the starting stack. Fish just got some chips back though after doubling through Turton.

Turton raised to 3,300 from the button and Fish shoved out of the big blind with 10,400 to pick up a call by Turton.

Darryll Fish: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Jeffrey Turton: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Nines have been good for me today," Turton said before the flop fell {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Turton added "ten for the sweat" and he got exactly what he wanted with the {10-Spades}. However, the {A-Clubs} river was a blank and Fish doubled.

Allyn Shulman Out-Kicked

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Following a flop of {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Allyn Shulman called an all-in bet from her opponent who was at risk as Shulman had the bigger stack.

Shulman had top pair with {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} but her opponent had slightly the better of it with {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

“Nice spot.” Shulman said to her opponent.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {5-Clubs}, and Shulman's opponent picked up the pot.

The Maria Ho Show

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Vitaly Lunkin opened for 2,200 from late position and got one call from Maria Ho in the big blind.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. A check from Ho saw a continuation bet of 2,500 from Lunkin. Ho responded with a check-raise to 7,000. There was a slight pause before Lunkin called the bet.

The turn card was the {2-Clubs} and Ho led out for 15,000.

Lunkin started puzzling it out. Ho had a big stack of chips behind her. Lunkin, on the other hand, had only 38,000 left.

Eventually Lunkin folded his hand and Ho showed respect to her opponent by revealing her {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a flopped set.

Vitaly Lunkin
Vitaly Lunkin

Maria Ho opened for 2,200 from under the gun. She got one caller and it was Vitaly Lun who was going to tangle with her again, this time with the advantage of position.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Ho bet 2,500 and Lunkin called. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and a 6,000 bet from Ho saw Lunkin give up on the turn again. This time Ho did not show her cards.

Just an Ordinary Table

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The table line-up could also fit to a deep run in the World Series of Poker Main Event as regulars Dietrich Fast, Stefan Schillhabel, Usman Siddique, Chance Kornuth, and Dutch Boyd share the same table in the orange section. Fast started with the biggest stack and has since pulled even more.

De Silva and Nguyen Battle

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

Upeshka De Silva and Scotty Nguyen found themselves battling over the same pot but only one could come out on top. With the board reading {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and around 11,000 in the pot, De Silva led out for 1,500 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Nguyen raised to 4,000. The button folded and the action was back on De Silva who made the call.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and De Silva moved all in, putting Nguyen and his 20,000 chip stack at risk. After looking annoyed, Nguyen ended up folding his hand and knuckling the table as De Silva pulled the chips closer to him. "You got me this time," Nguyen said to his opponent.

De Silva - 1, Nguyen - 0

Alvarado Takes from Yaroshevskyy

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kristen Bicknell played another tournament and busted within five hands, then headed over to the Rio and late-registered Event #23: THE MARATHON - $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em. Bicknell is on a table with Rick Alvarado and Igor Yaroshevskyy right now and they were all in the hand with Yaroshevskyy as initial raiser and both called in the blinds.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Yaroshevskyy continued for 3,200. Only Alvarado called before the {2-Spades} turn went check, check. On the {8-Hearts} river, Alvarado bet 8,500 and that won the pot.
