Marchese Doubles Through Ramos

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Tom Marchese got his stack of 300,000 in against Felipe Ramos, with Marchese holding {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Ramos {a-}{q-}. It wasn't clear if the money went in preflop or after Ramos flopped top pair on {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, but no further help emerged for the Brazilian and Marchese doubled up.

Sulsky Eliminated

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Charlie Carrel on the button, and he pushed all in to put the pressure on small blind Igor Kurganov and big blind Ben Sulsky. Kurganov was quick to fold, Sulsky quick to call for the last 205,000 he had behind.

Ben Sulsky: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Charlie Carrel: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Carrel found himself dominated but that would prove not too big a hurdle to take. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Sulsky exited.

"How are you so good at these?" Kurganov asked. Carrel just smiled.

Polk Eliminates Qi to Surge Past 3 Million

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Xuming Qi bet 115,000 on a {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop from middle position against two opponents. Doug Polk made it 325,000 on the button, and the third player mucked. Qi told the dealer he was all in, for what looked to be about 1.3 million. Polk snap-called.

Polk: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Qi: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Qi needed lots of help in a hurry, but a {2-Spades} turn ended things before the {9-Hearts} river could even fall.

"Yes, I Call"

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Byron Kaverman in the small blind, and he pushed all in. Big blind Dominik Nitsche, playing a stack of 400,000, peaked at his cards one by one and said, "Yes, I call."

Dominik Nitsche: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Byron Kaverman: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Nitsche doubled.
