DeMers Slips

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Gerhard Schleicher called 6,000 from the button, Gionni DeMers raised to 24,000 out of the small blind, and Schleicher called.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and DeMers bet 28,500. Schleicher went into the tank, and after about 30 seconds, he raised to 67,000. DeMers folded and Schleicher took the pot.

Rheem on a Rollercoaster

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

After sending half of his chips to Rudolphk Sawa a couple of hands ago, Rheem just came back from a smoke break and found himself in another tough spot.

There was 116,000 in the pot with the board reading {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Rheem led out for a pot-sized bet of 116,000. His opponent, Dustin Nelson, shoved all-in for 375,500 which had Rheem covered. Rheem didn't take quite as long to make this decision and made the call, putting his tournament life on the line. Nelson tabled {a-}{k-}{10-}{9-} and Rheem happily showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river was the {8-Diamonds}, as Rheem's kings held up to win a big pot and leave Nelson with just crumbs.

Rudolphk Sawa Takes a Big Pot from Rheem

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

The board read {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} with around 120,000 in the middle. Rudolphk Sawa led out on the turn for 75,000, and Chino Rheem made the call. The river was the {a-Hearts}, and Sawa bet 100,000. Rheem thought for several minutes, trying to figure out what his opponent had.

"I'll show you either way. It'll be the best hand or the best bluff," Sawa said to Rheem.

"You either have one or the other, you have to," mumbled back Rheem.

Rheem likely thought his opponent could have aces full of kings after hitting the ace on the river, but he had to see his cards. Rheem called, and Sawa tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a full house.

"You hit a one-outer," Rheem said as he tossed his cards in the muck. The pot was pushed to Sawa, who is now the new chip leader.

Roberto Romanello raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Gionni DeMers called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds}, and they both checked again. The {8-Diamonds} fell on the river, and DeMers bet 35,000. After brief consideration, Romanello called, and DeMers tabled {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for eights full of tens.

Romanello mucked, and DeMers took the pot to put his stack over the 600,000-chip mark.

Aleksei Altshuller Pulls Off a Semi-Bluff

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

The pot had 175,000 in the middle after the flop of {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} between Aleksei Altshuller and William Kakon. The turn was the {9-Clubs}, and Kakon checked to Altshuller, who bet the pot for 175,000. Kakon went into the tank for roughly five minutes.

Everyone else at the table was out of their seats, stretching their legs while Kakon tried to figure out what to do. Kakon asked his opponent numerous questions, but Altshuller sat with his hand over his mouth in silence.

Kakon finally folded his cards, flashing {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Altshuller couldn't help himself; he showed {a-}{q-}{6-}{5-} for just a straight draw.

Mark Reilly Busts Two

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Mark Reilly opened the action with a raise to 20,000, and Scott White called from the button. The big blind had 64,000 remaining and moved all in. Reilly re-potted to 212,000, and White went into the tank. The clock was called, and with three seconds left, White called for less. With two players at risk, the three hands were tabled.

Reilly: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
White: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}
