Luca Doubles Through Madaras

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

Norbert Madaras raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and both Ivan Luca and Bernd Gleissner in the blinds called.

The flop came {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, both Luca and Gleissner checked, Madaras bet 4,000. Luca called, Gleissner folded.

The turn brought them the {4-Clubs}, now Luca bet 4,000 but Madaras raised to 20,000. Luca looked at his cards and called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds}, Luca checked, Madaras shoved with a bigger stack than Luca. Luca went into the tank. After about two to three minutes the player in the hijack called the clock on Luca. The floor came over and gave Luca 30 seconds to make a decision. Luca got up from his chair and then grabbed a stack of chips to make the call and put them over the betting line.

Madaras tried to muck his cards but the table told him he needed to show them. He didn't agree with that but then the rule that when there is an all-in and a call, that the cards need to be shown. He then flipped them over and showed he had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Luca had him beat with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of kings. The dealer counted out Luca's stack which was worth 69,200 and Madaras paid for the double up.

We found Ramin Hajiyev on the button facing a decision for his stack on a board of {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The player in the cutoff had set him in for 38,200, about the size of the pot. Hajiyev decided to call it off and his opponent smiled and showed {8-}{7-}. Hajiyev had him outkicked with {9-Spades}{8-Spades} after missing a flush draw and he took the pot.

Several players at the table congratulated him on the big call.

"Thank you, thank you," Hajiyev said. "I went with my guts."

Difelice Doubles Up

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In the last hand just before the break, the board read {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Alex Difelice had checked from the big blind, as did the player in the hijack. The player in the cutoff, however, bet 5,700. Difelice looked at his cards again and took some time but then decided to shove for 12,400 in total. The hijack quickly folded but the player in the cutoff snap-called.

Alex Difelice: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Cutoff: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Difelice had flopped a set of sevens and his opponent had top pair. The {2-Clubs} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river gave Difelice a full house and the double up.

John Racener tweeted that he busted out during the last level when he failed to hold up with {j-}{j-} against a player with {10-}{10-}. That means Chris Ferguson has sealed World Series of Poker Player of the Year honors, as Racener appeared to be the only player with a chance to catch him.
