"Deuce! F***!"

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Salvatore DiCarlo
Salvatore DiCarlo

Scott Baumstein was on the button and all in before the flop, with his tournament life at risk. Salvatore DiCarlo was in the cutoff and gave him action.

Baumstein had {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} in front of him, while DiCarlo revealed {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The dealer fanned the flop reading {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, leaving just three queens in the deck for DiCarlo to hit, or running cards for a chop. The turn was the {5-Clubs}, giving DiCarlo a few more outs to get his chips back.

"Deuce!" yelled DiCarlo. The river was the {2-Diamonds} for a chop and Baumstein yelled, "F***!". The two players grabbed their chips back, and DiCarlo smiled and yelled out to his rail, "Full house!"

Soika Seals it With a Set

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Ihar Soika
Ihar Soika

With about 1,300,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Joldis Cosmin checked from the small blind, and Ihar Soika bet 475,000 from under the gun. Cosmin thought for a moment and called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Cosmin checked, Soika bet 1,100,000 and Cosmin asked for a count before calling for a second time.

The river was the {q-Spades} and Cosmin checked yet again. Soika paused for a moment and eventually moved all in for 3,665,000. Cosmin tanked for a minute and eventually tossed in a single chip to call. Soika quickly tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for bottom set, and Cosmin flashed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for top two pair before mucking his cards and paying the bet.

Scott Montgomery: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Maurice Hawkins: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} and the king on the turn was good enough to give Hawkins the win and eliminate Montgomery.

David Brent pushed all in from early position for 2,160,000 and Scott Baumstein called from the button. Baumstein was in a dominating position with {a-Spades}{q-Spades} against Brent's {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The board ran out {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Brent was able to hit a jack on the river to double up, leaving Baumstein with only 155,000 chips.

In the next hand, Thomas Ryan raised to 425,000 from early position and Baumstein slid his remaining chips into the middle. Paul Gibbons called from the big blind and there was heads-up action for the side pot.

The flop came {j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Ryan checked, Gibbons bet 500,000 and Ryan called. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river brought the {5-Hearts} and Ryan led out for 900,000, getting a fold from Gibbons. Ryan tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a full house and Baumstein was eliminated in 17th place

Will Failla was all in from the cutoff for his last 1,325,000. Salvatore DiCarlo called on the button, and Pfizer Jordan moved all in from the big blind. DiCarlo folded.

Failla was well behind with {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, up against Jordan's {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. He already declared he was going to triple up this hand, and even said a prayer while DiCarlo was left to act.

The flop came {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Failla picked up some outs to make a straight in addition to the remaining queens in the deck.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Failla made his straight. He cheered as the {2-Diamonds} hit the river and scooped up the pot.
