Calling Darvin Moon

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Scott Seiver finished his discussion with Jason Mercier, returned to his seat just in time before a card had been dealt from the deck, and watched Gilbert Diaz open to 3,500. Seiver called in position with the blinds folding to let them have it heads up. The flop was {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Diaz continued for 6,000 and Seiver called. The {10-Spades} landed on the turn and again Diaz bet 6,000. Seiver was happy to call and see what developed on the river. The {7-Diamonds} came and now Diaz checked. Seiver saw an opportunity and flicked out a bet of 15,000. Diaz snapped him off. Seiver had {k-Clubs}{x-} and surrendered the pot to Diaz’s {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Barbosa Busted by Katchalov

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Eugene Katchalov raised to 2,700 from his button and Gerard Piqué called from the small blind. Joao Barbosa peeked at his hand from the big blind and then put in an all-in three-bet for 28,100. Katchalov called and Piqué folded his cards.

Katchalov: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Barbosa: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The two were racing for Barbosa's tournament life heading to the flop. Katchalov seized a tight grip on the hand after pairing his ace as the first three cards read {2-Spades}{A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The turn and river brought the {3-Spades} and the {J-Clubs} and Barbosa was sent to the rail just like that. Katchlov continued his hot streak and scooped up new chips that brought him to 230,000.

Haigh Talked Into a Call by Negreanu

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

It was folded round to Robert Haigh’s small blind and Daniel Negreanu was waiting for him in the big blind, rooted to his chair having a very calming massage. “What do you wanna do?” Negreanu started talking to him. Haigh smiled and decided to just complete the blind. Negreanu flicked out a bet to 5,200. “More, gimme more. Yum yum.” He implored the German. Haigh did as requested and put out the extra chips. They saw a flop of {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and both checked. The turn was a {7-Clubs}. Haigh bet 5,000 and Negreanu called to see a river {2-Spades}. They both checked, Negreanu had {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} but Haigh rivered him with {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} much to Negrenu’s amusement. “You have it, right? He’s like I won’t bluff anymore.”

Yong Spikes the River; Duval Ousted by Mercier

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With 28,000 or so in the pot and a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Richard Young led out for 12,000 from the small blind only to have Nadar Kakhmazov raise to 35,000 from middle position. Yong quickly collected his chips, stacked them and slid them into the pot for an all-in shove of 83,000. Kakhmazov snap-called.

Yong: {a-}{q-}
Kakhmazov: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Yong had flopped top pair, but it was no good as Kakhmazov held two pair. The {3-Spades} turn was of no consequence, and that meant Yong needed to catch a queen on the river to stay alive. Amazingly, much like Carter Gill's opponent did in last week's viral poker video, he did just that when the {Q-Spades} rolled off.

"Yes," the Macau high roller cheered.

Meanwhile, World Series of Poker bracelet winner Jason Duval was eliminated by Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier.
