Cheong on a Nub

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

After a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop was seen three ways, small blind Steve Chanthabouasy jammed 67,000 into a pot of around 90,000. Joseph Cheong called in the cutoff and Jeremy Ausmus folded.

Cheong: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Chanthabouasy: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The {2-Hearts} and {a-Spades} were safe for Chanthabouasy, leaving Cheong on a few blinds.

Shulman Ships

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, a player under the gun bet 25,000 and was called by Scott Stewart in middle position. Barry Shulman shoved all in from the hijack for about 210,000 and the bettor tanked a bit and folded. Stewart was quicker to muck.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva opened for 12,000 second to act and Chris Moorman jammed in the small blind.

De Silva didn't seem thrilled but called with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} after getting a count of 93,000. Moorman indeed had him whacked with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and the pair held on the {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} board.

Failla Running Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Will Failla was all in for 121,000 in the big blind and an opponent who opened on the button called him with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. That was no good against {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and the {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} brought the king which Failla had requested. However, the {j-Spades} did turn make it so a ten river would beat him.

Fortunately for Failla, the {3-Clubs} was no harm.

Qing Liu
Qing Liu

Small blind Zhen Cai three-bet to about 43,000 against a middle-position open and he called off immediately when that player set him in for 167,000.

Cai: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Cai didn't have much to sweat as it ran {j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

At another table, Qing Liu doubled up, getting his remaining chips in on the river with top boat, kings full of jacks, and the bubble goes on.

Cold Shove Chases Pupillo

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jeff Trudeau opened in the hijack, Nick Pupillo three-bet to about 54,000 in the cutoff, and Paul Balzano was thinking things over in the small blind. He moved all in for around 330,000. Trudeau quickly folded.

It wasn't clear whether Pupillo was covered as the two players had very similar stacks. About a minute later, Pupillo surrendered.
