Dan Sindelar checked from under the gun on a {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. Igor Yaroshevskyy bet 1,700, and Arkadiy Tsinis made it 3,700 on his left. Back to Sindelar, the former November Niner announced he was all in. It was 18,025. After Yaroshevskyy folded, Tsinis considered briefly and then called.

Tsinis: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Sindelar: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Sindelar was in complete command with trips, but that lasted all of about 10 seconds as the {q-Diamonds} rolled off the deck to give Tsinis a boat. The river was a {2-Hearts}, and Sindelar took his leave.

Metalidi Turns a Set

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Marc-Andre Ladouceur joined the stacked table captained by Matt Berkey.

Ladouceur lasted the shortest time in the following hand, folding under the gun. His neighbor, Artem Metalidi raised to 800, earning calls from small blind Matt Berkey and a player in the big blind.

Metalidi checked back the {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, leaving the betting initiative to Berkey, who led out for 1,700 on the {7-Diamonds} turn.

"How much? Seventeen?" Metalidi asked after the big blind had folded. Metalidi called.

The river {9-Hearts} went check-check, and Berkey tabled {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Metalidi leaned over to see his cards and double-checked them with the board, maybe trying to determine whether or not Berkey had a straight.

When Metalidi figured out that Berkey had only a pair of tens, he rolled over his {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a turned set.

Vornicu Sent Packing

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Valentin Vornicu
Valentin Vornicu

Adam Levy had a bet of 2,000 in front of him in the big blind on a {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, and he was considering the all-in shove of Valentin Vornicu, who was on his left and had about 15,000 in the middle. Levy splashed in some chips to call.

Levy: {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Vornicu: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Vornicu had outs with his combo draw and overcard, but the {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river were both blanks.

Ladouceur Pulls Out a Four-Bet

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Marc-Andre Ladouceur
Marc-Andre Ladouceur

Under the gun, Marc-Andre Ladouceur raised to 800, receiving two calls. The player on the button and Matt Berkey, in the small blind, matched the price, but the big blind had another plan. He squeezed to 3,800, giving the ball back to Ladouceur.

Ladouceur took about two minutes to figure out his next action. He looked at big blind's stack, then at his own. Eventually, he placed in 8,200, and all of his opponents released their hands within a few seconds.

Merson Shows Rheem

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With about 6,000 already in the middle, Greg Merson bet 3,600 in middle position on a board of {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Chino Rheem was thinking things over on his left and told Merson he was going to let him have it, showing him {a-}{j-}. Merson showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a combo draw.

Rheem went rabbit hunting and rolled over the {10-Clubs}.

Ho Strikes Back, Hurts Engel With Aces

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Maria Ho fold to Ari Engel's river raise during the last level, and Ho just got her sweet revenge.

They swapped roles this time, with Engel betting 4,000 into a pot of about 5,000 chips on the river of the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs} board.

Ho was in the cutoff, and she raised to 13,000.

"Fours," Engel whispered among other thoughts he had when guessing Ho's hand. She remained silent.

Dani Stern eventually called the clock on Engel, and the floorperson gave him 30 seconds. Engel needed about a third of that, throwing in the calling chips.

Ho turned up {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for aces full, raking in the sizable pot.
