Ray Pulford

Nancy Nguyen won three hands in a row and, on the last hand, eliminated Ray Pulford with ace-high.

She played a hand to the river against Kevin Lizak, which she also won with ace-high and then two hands later she would four-bet Mark Bassaly after an opening raise from Ray Pulford.

Pulford got all in preflop and Bassaly and Nguyen were heads up for the side pot.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Bassaly check-called a bet from Nguyen. The action repeated on the turn when the {j-Hearts} paired the board and both players checked the river when the {q-Clubs} came.

All players had ace-high. Pulford {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Bassaly, {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Nguyen {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Nguyen won with ace-king high and eliminated Pulford. She also cracked 1 million chips with that pot.

Tung Tran was all in against Mark Bassaly after putting three bets in preflop.

The board read {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Tran put in his last 22,000 chips for less than a bet. Bassaly called and showed {a-}{10-}. Tran won the hand with {j-}{j-} when the river didn't improve either player.

Then Tran raised in late position and Shane Buchwald three-bet from the small blind. Tran called.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Buchwald bet, Tran called. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Buchwald bet again. Tran raised, but said that he only meant to call, not realizing how much he put in the pot. Buchwald called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked. Tran won the hand with pocket queens.

Shane Fumerton Doubles Through Shane Buchwald

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Shane Buchwald raised from middle position. Sandy Tayi called in the small blind before Shane Fumerton raised from a short stack in the big blind. The other two players both called.

The flop was {2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Tayi checked. Fumerton was all in for his last 10,000 and both players called.

The pair then checked the {q-Clubs} on the turn and Tayi check-folded to a bet from his opponent on the {a-Spades} river.

Buchwald showed {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for top pair, but Fumerton showed pocket fives {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for quads!

"How can you bet that flop," asked Buchwald cheekily, "Check and play it slow!"
