Misclick Vaults John Lombardo Up the Chip Counts

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
John Lombardo
John Lombardo

According to some of the staff, there was a raise before John Lombardo accidentally put in too many chips to call the raise, but not quite enough to raise himself. He was forced to put in a min-raise to 94,000. Rafe Aman was next to act and he moved all in with a covering stack. Action folded back around to Lombardo who called, putting himself at risk to 332,000.

John Lombardo: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Rafe Aman: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Aman had two overs to Lombardo's small pair but the board ran out {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Aman picked up extra outs with the board pair on the flop and his better kicker, but the turn and river both bricked out and he was forced to send over most of his stack to Lombardo.

Jarred Graham: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Gavin Elliot: {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for Elliot to make two pair, putting a dent in Graham's stack.

Frangeskos Gets Lucky to Send Farrell to the Rail

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action was on a flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Stylianos Frangeskos had a bet of 100,000 in front of him on the button. Brian Farrell was in the big blind and moved all in over the top for 181,000 total. Frangeskos dropped into the tank and thought for a while before calling.

"Two pair," Farrell said, showing his {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

"Two pair it is then," Frangeskos replied, showing {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and needing some help.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river was the {Q-Diamonds} though, so Frangeskos made a flush to send Farrell to the rail.

"Serves you right," Frangeskos said after the hand. "Calling my raise with six-three."

Hosseini Hits a Flush to Chip Up

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action was on the flop with a board of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Rahim Hosseini checked over to Tolly Sakellariou who had position in the hand. Sakellariou put out a bet of 22,000 which Hosseini called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {Q-Clubs} hit the river. There, Hosseini put out a bet of 50,000. Sakellariou called. Hosseini turned up his {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flush and it would be good for him to take down the pot and chip up to over 600,000 chips.
