It's All About the River!

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Ludovic Lacay
Ludovic Lacay

There's a famous saying that goes, "It ain't over 'til it's over," and in the game of PLO, that couldn't be any more true.

The flop read {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} with 40,000 in the pot, and the action was complete, waiting for the turn card. That card was the {4-Clubs}, and suddenly, the pot got inflated. After a series of bets and raises, Ludovic Lacay was all in for 178,000 with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades} against Shankar Pillai, who held {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Pillai was ahead with a set of aces, but Lacay was the one who looked more excited, with so much potential to make the best hand. The river brought the {8-Clubs}, and Lacay gave a fist pump as he hit the nut flush to scoop a monster pot.

Tom Marchese
Tom Marchese

With about 55,000 in the pot and the board reading {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} {q-Clubs}, Danny Wong checked from the small blind. Tom Marchese was on the button and bet 23,500. Wong check-raised to 58,000, and Marchese called.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, and Wong checked. Marchese moved all in, having Wong's stack of roughly 64,000 covered. Wong tanked for a couple of minutes before electing to fold.

Marchese has been on fire from the start of Day 2, turning his 30,700-chip stack into over 250,000 already.

Borovay Holds With Aces

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
David Williams
David Williams

As recounted by a player at the table, the following hand took place.

Jeff Lisandro was on the button and raised to 4,400. David Williams was in the small blind and called. Brian Borovay potted in the big blind to 18,000 and both called.

The flop was {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Williams led all in for roughly 20,000. Borovay moved all in for roughly 30,000 and Lisandro folded.

Borovay showed {a-}{a-}{9-}{3-}
Williams tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-}{q-}

The turn was a non spade king and the river was a non spade six giving Borovay two pair with aces and sixes and Williams a smaller two pair thus eliminating Williams and vaulting Borovay into the 6-figure chip club.

Chun Law Gets the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Chun Law
Chun Law

Chun Law was in the hijack and opened the action to 6,000. Pablo Bai was on the button and three-bet to 21,000, Law called.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Law led for 40,000. Bai deliberated for a couple minutes and then moved all in for what appeared to be 38,500.

Chun Law: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Pablo Bai: {a-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Law had the nut-flush draw with straight outs and some backdoors, while Bai was in the lead with aces and the same gutshot draw.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} improving Bai to two pair, but the river was the {q-Clubs} giving Law the ace-high flush and a large pot at this stage of the tournament as Bai hits the rail.

Money Bubble Has Burst

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Money Bricks

After three hands of hand-for-hand play, the bubble has burst. Hoyt Corkins elected to not even look at his cards or sit at the table while on the bubble in fear of becoming the bubble boy. The table all had a good chuckle and Corkins made it into the money after the following hand finished.

Fabian Schoneck was in middle position and raised to 4,200. Andrew Moser was on the button and moved all in for his remaining 6,800, and Schoneck called.

Schoneck tabled {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and Moser showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Schoneck made two pair on the river when the four hit to send Moser to the rail and the rest of the field into the money. All remaining players are guaranteed a minimum of $2,249.
