Phan Pays Out a Dub

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in the big blind led out for 7,400 on a {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop and Tuan Phan made the call from early position. On the {k-Diamonds} turn, the big blind tanked and shoved for 32,900. Phan got the count and called moments later.

Phan: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Big blind: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

It was a rough spot for Phan, who was drawing thin with his queens, and the {2-Clubs} river didn't do anything for him.

Laplante Doubles Through Elias

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Laplante was all in for 23,900 on the button, with Darren Elias all in for more in middle position. A player who looked to have called an initial Elias open from the cutoff was in the tank and ultimately folded what he said was pocket nines.

Laplante: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Elias: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Laplante's hand held on the {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board, which left the cutoff ruing his fold.

Afriat Triples

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Wynn Las Vegas

Eric Afriat was down under 10,000 early a couple of times but he is now more than healthy with six figures after a tripled up.

We didn't see the action but it looked to have gone all in three ways on an {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop. Afriat was in late position with {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and he held against a middle player with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and the big blind's {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} combo draw as the board ran {10-Spades}, {6-Spades}.

Afriat collected 33,100 from each opponent, as well as the 12K in the middle.

Liberto Bet-Folds River to Altman

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Liberto made a sizable bet of 4,000 out of the big blind into about 5,500 on {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Brian Altman called from the button and they went to a {9-Spades} river. Liberto bet 5,500 and Altman jammed for a similar-sized stack to Liberto's 30,000. Liberto snap-folded.
