Mike Leah Felts Ankush Mandavia

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mike Leah
Mike Leah

Ankush Mandavia moved all in from the button for about 60,000, and Mike Leah reshoved from the small blind. The big blind folded, and the two players tabled their hands.

Mandavia: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Leah: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Mandavia was racing for his tournament life and needed help from the deck in order to double up. The flop came {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to pair Mandavia's ace but gave Leah a set, and the {J-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river ensured that Leah would take the pot to eliminate Mandavia.

Niall Farrell Makes a "Tight Call"

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

Niall Farrell raised to 10,000 from under the gun, Carlos Boyd called from the small blind, and Guiseppe Pantaleo called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and both blinds checked. Farrell bet 10,000, Boyd folded, and Pantaleo called. The turn brought the {2-Hearts}, and both players checked. The {K-Hearts} fell on the river, and Pantaleo bet 28,500.

After a few moments, Farrell announced, "Tight call," and tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a set of queens, which was best against Pantaleo's {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Jonathan Jaffe Sends One Home

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

With about 80,000 already in the middle and the completed board reading {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Jonathan Jaffe moved all in to put Steve Waterburton to a decision for his stack.

Waterburton tanked for over two minutes and ultimately called. Jaffe showed {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a wheel, which was superior to Waterburton's {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Jaffe took the pot, and Waterburton was eliminated.

Rafael Lebron Doubles Up

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

Rafael Lebron and Ankush Mandavia got all the chips into the middle on a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Mandavia had Lebron covered by a fair margin.

Mandavia flipped over {A-}{A-} but was way behind Lebron, who had flopped a set with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The {2-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river were no help to Mandavia, and Lebron scooped the pot to double up.

Ankush Mandavia Doubles Through Mike Leah

With about 60,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Ankush Mandavia checked from the hijack to Mike Leah, in the cutoff, and he bet 20,000. After a few moments of consideration, Mandavia moved all in, and Leah quickly called to put Mandavia at risk.

Leah: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Mandavia: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Leah was way ahead with his set of jacks but had to fade hearts and tens, which would complete Mandavia's flush and straight draws. The {5-Hearts} on the turn put Mandavia squarely in the lead and meant Leah needed the board to pair in order to win the pot. The {6-Spades} river changed nothing, and Mandavia took the pot to double up.

Olivier Busquet Stacks Jason Les

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

Olivier Busquet raised to 8,000 from the button, and Jason Les moved all in from the small blind for a total of 98,000, sending Busquet into the tank.

"My hand is good. Like, really good. Surprisingly good," mused Busquet as he rechecked his hole cards, cracked his knuckles, and put his face in his hands. He counted out 90,000 more chips, and after about a minute, he pushed them forward to put Les at risk.

Les tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and Busquet flipped over {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

Les had a slight preflop advantage, but it was obliterated when the flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades} to give Busquet a boat, leaving Les drawing only to backdoor quads. The {7-Spades} on the turn meant Les' tournament was over for sure, and Busquet took the pot after the {8-Clubs} fell on the river.
