Boyd and Lalwani Fold to Jam

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante

In one of the last hands of the level, Dutch Boyd, Rakesh Lalwani and Sandor Ambrus headed to the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop. With plenty of chips already in the middle, Boyd bet 7,500 and Lalwani called. Ambrus moved all in for 28,625 and Boyd quickly released his cards. Lalwani needed more time but came to the same conclusion after some small talk with his opponent.

Ambrus flashed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for two pair and the nut flush draw, Lalwani briefly showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

One for Covyn and Slustik

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante

Michele Di Lauro raised to 1,000 and Karel Mokry called from one seat over. Danny Covyn reraised to 4,500 and picked up one caller in Mokry. The flop was barely dealt when Mokry already check-folded to a continuation bet.

Rex Clinkscales re-entered very recently and sat down at a new table. He was spotted in a heads-up pot with Petr Slustik and bet the {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop for 4,500, the size of the pot. Slustik reraised the pot and Clinkscales folded instantly.

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante
Marc Anthony Joseph
Marc Anthony Joseph

Jason Gray raised to 1,200 first to act and Chris Ferguson on the button three-bet for the size of the pot, making it 4,200 to go. Gray called and checked the {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. Ferguson continued for 9,000 and Gray folded instantly.

A few tables over, Konstantinos Tsirakidis was left standing up from his seat and a big pot was shipped over to Marc Anthony Joseph. The player from South Africa held the nut straight with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} on a board of {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Alexander Dmitrienko had an inferior straight, the cards of Tsirakidis were already mucked.

Madsen Wins Big Pot Against Rezaei

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

With 11,200 chips in the middle until the {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} river, Daniel Rezaei bet as much in a heads-up hand against Jeff Madsen. The latter shook his head and eventually called.

Rezaei, who cashed in the 6-Max event earlier and missed out on the last three tables, tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} for kings and jacks, which Madsen had beat with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for trips sevens.

The table also features Alfredo Vega Meister on his second bullet, who has already more than doubled up in the second attempt.
