Raio Doubles Through Sahbudak With Better Two Pair

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nick Raio was in position in a heads-up pot against Azad Sahbudak on a board of {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} with an array of chips already in the middle.

Sahbudak moved all-in and Raio called with a smaller stack of 475,000.

Nick Raio: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Azad Sahbudak: {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Sahbudak had flopped two pair but Raio had hit a better to pair on the turn to take the lead. The {2-Spades} on the river didn't change things and Raio received a big double.

"Nice hand, Nick," said Sahbudak.

Picking up the action on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} on the feature table, Russell Quick led out for 20,000 from the small blind and David Moore called out of the big blind. Overall Day 1 chipleader Jason Cummings then raised to 105,000 and only Quick called.

Quick checked on the {k-Diamonds} turn and Cummings bet 250,000. Quick moved all-in for 590,000 and Cummings quickly called with a slightly bigger stack.

Russell Quick: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Jason Cummings: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

It was a massive cooler as Cummings had flopped top set but Quick had flopped the nut straight. The board didn't pair on the {4-Diamonds} river and Quick doubled up to take a huge chip lead, while Cummings was left with crumbs.

Dickie Malone Pulls $50K Bounty

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The alluring and elusive $50,000 bounty is no longer in play as it has been claimed by Dickie Malone.

Malone had a good feeling when he walked up to pull his bounty as it was the 22nd bounty pull of the day, which just so happens to be Malone's lucky number.

Malone slowly opened the envelope and peeled the open the folded piece of paper, slowly revealing a "50" followed by a comma and series of zeroes.

"HAAAA! I'm serious!" Malone yelled to let the other players know he really won the big one.

Malone was ecstatic about drawing the $50K envelope, while none of the remaining players seemed too thrilled about the biggest bounty being removed from play.

"When he showed me that number ... it's my racing number, baseball number, basketball number ... I said 'this has got to be it,'" Malone said.
