Higgs Picks Up a Pot on the River

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

With just over 40,000 in the pot, the board read {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Sam Higgs checked his option from the big blind. Jason Wheeler made a bet of 33,000 and Higgs made the call.

The river brought the {q-Clubs} and Higgs decided to lead out for 45,000. Wheeler folded and Higgs was able to pick up a pot. The action has been much slower in the couple levels of the night as the number of players gets smaller and the pay jumps become increasingly bigger.

Sawa Takes from Chino

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Rudolphk Sawa called 8,000 from under the gun, Chino Rheem raised to 36,000 from the button, the blinds got out of the way, and Sawa called.

The flop came {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Sawa checked. Rheem bet 50,000 and Sawa called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and Sawa checked again. Rheem bet once more, 100,000 this time, and Sawa called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the river and both players checked. Sawa tabled {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for sevens full of sixes.

"We could have played a real big pot," said Rheem as he flipped over {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{X-}. "We could have played for all the money and you'd have all the chips."

Alberto Fonseca Stacks Dustin Nelson, Doubles Through Rudolphk Sawa

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Dustin Nelson was in the small blind and got his last 23,000 chips in before the flop against Alberto Fonseca, who was in the hijack, and Rudolphk Sawa on the button.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Fonseca checked. Sawa checked behind.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Fonseca bet 25,000. Sawa raised, Fonseca got the remainder of his stack in the middle, and all three players tabled their hands.

Nelson: {A-}{9-}{8-}{7-}
Fonseca: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Sawa: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}

Fonseca had the lead with his king-high straight but needed to fade the board paring on the river against Sawa's top set in order to double up. The {5-} changed nothing and Fonseca took the pot to double through Sawa and send Nelson to the cage.

James St Hilaire Keeps Betting

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

The board read {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} with 40,000 in the pot and James St Hilaire was facing a bet of 15,000 from his opponent in the big blind. St Hilaire raised to 48,000 and his opponent made the call.

The river brought the {10-Hearts} and the action was checked to St Hilaire. He put together a bet of 93,000 and his opponent thought for a couple moments before letting his hand go.

Brad Ruben vs. Jason Wheeler

The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Ruben checked. Wheeler bet 22,000 and Ruben called.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and both players checked.

The {5-Hearts} fell on the river and action checked through again.

Ruben tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} for top two pair and Wheeler mucked.

Eric Hicks Stacks Robert Park

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Robert Park opened to 18,000 from under the gun, Eric Hicks three-bet to 66,000 from the cutoff, Park jammed, and Hicks called to put Park at risk.

Park: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Hicks: {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Park had the preflop advantage with his aces, but the board ran out {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} to give Hicks top two pair, so he took the pot to eliminate Park.
