"Such a Monster, It's Sick!"

Level 15 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Phil Galfond on the button, and he opened to 110,000. Big blind Antonio Esfandiari called and checked on the {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Galfond bet 115,000, followed by a check-raise to 310,000 from Esfandiari. Galfond called.

Both checked the {7-Hearts} on the turn before the {6-Clubs} on the river made for a four-to-a-straight board. Esfandiari checked, and Galfond bet 460,000 with 1,180,000 behind.

"What you got, Mister Galfond?" Esfandiari asked, "Got a straight?"

Esfandiari tanked some more, said "Such a monster, it's sick!", and folded.

Carrel Doubles Through Peters

Level 15 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Charlie Carrel shoved all in first to act for what looked to be 760,000, and David Peters called from a couple of seats over.

Carrel: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Peters: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Carrel said he was hoping to see tens, but this would work. Sure enough, {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flopped to give him the lead. The {3-Diamonds} brought a sweat on the turn as Peters picked up a flush draw. The river: {7-Clubs}, safe for Carrel.

In the midst of it all was a discussion about the Voulgaris/Colman hand. Voulgaris swore up and down he had {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, while Colman claimed to have mucked a flush.

Dietrich Doubles

Level 15 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Moritz Dietrich in the small blind, and he shoved for 490,000. Big blind Antonio Esfandiari said, "Let's peek together" as he leaned towards Dietrich while lifting up his first card. The two of them saw the second card together, and Esfandiari instantly called.

Moritz Dietrich: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Antonio Esfandiari: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and Dietrich doubled.

"Aces. Call!"

Level 15 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

"Aces, call!" is what we heard Andrew Robl say. We rushed over to his table and were just in time for him to show {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} from the button. His unlucky opponent was David Peters who had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} under the gun. The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Robl doubled his 1.9-million-chip stack. Peters down to 2.96 million.

Dan Colman
Dan Colman

Charlie Carrel opened for 125,000 in middle position, and Dan Colman moved all in from the cutoff. David Peters got the count: 1,350,000. He shoved from the button, and Haralabos Voulgaris put in his stack in the big blind. Carrel mucked.

Colman: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Peters: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Voulgaris: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}, giving Colman some outs with a straight draw. He wasted no time getting there as a {3-Clubs} hit the turn, leaving everyone dead to a chop. The river was a {j-Diamonds}.

Peters and Voulgaris paid off Colman, and then Peters sent Voulgaris 450,000.
