Daryl Jace Doubles Up While Trying to Stall

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Daryl Jace, sitting in the cutoff, raised to 7,500. Khorchidian Nichan, on the button, three-bet to 17,000. Jace then four-bet to 60,000, while keeping 2,000 behind. Nichan went all in. There was some discussion why Jace didn't put it all in immediately instead of keeping the 2,000 behind. He admitted he was trying to stall for the next pay jump.

The floor was called, the dealer explained the situation, and the floor gave Jace five seconds to act. Jace called.

Daryl Jace: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Khorchidian Nichan: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and Jace doubled up.

Christopher Kostoulas Wins Huge Pot

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Yuhei Sanada opened the action from late position, and Christopher Kostoulas called in the small blind.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and Kostoulas check-called a bet of 8,000 from Sanada. The turn was the {q-Hearts}, and Kostoulas led out for 14,000, which Sanada called. The river was the {a-Spades}, and Sanada moved all in, overbetting the pot by some margin and just covering Kostoulas’ stack. There was a fair bit of agonizing, but Kostoulas called.

Yuhei Sanada tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but it was no good against Kostoulas' {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

A jubilant Kostoulas clapped his hands, and the adrenalin shot him out of his seat, relieved to have made the right call and win a huge pot.

Jonathan Abdellatif Knocked Out by Noah Vaillancourt

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jonathan Abdellatif
Jonathan Abdellatif

Jonathan Abdellatif raised to 28,000 from the under-the-gun position. Noah Vaillancourt, in middle position, and Patrick Uzan, on the button, both called.

The flop came {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Abdellatif went all in for his remaining 5,500, Vaillancourt raised, and Uzan snap-folded.

Abdellatif showed {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Vaillancourt showed {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Abdellatif needed some help to survive. The {7-Spades} on the turn and the {J-Diamonds} on the river didn't give him any help, so he grabbed his stuff and went to the payout desk.
