Colman Doubles Through Li

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Colman (button) and Yingui Li (big blind) got their chips in the middle before the flop. Colman had the best hand with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, but Li had a fair chance of busting his opponent with the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} he was holding.

The {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop was good for Colman, but the {K-Diamonds} on the turn left the door open for a suckout for Li. The {A-Spades} on the river gave Colman trips though, and the Big One for One Drop champion doubled up.

Stern and Mo Clash Again

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dani Stern raised it up to 23,000 from the cutoff and Jason Mo on the button three-bet all in for 115,000. Both blinds folded, and Stern asked how much it was. He was told it was 113,000 and called, but had to fork over 2,000 more to make it official.

"Would you have called if you had known it was more?" Mo asked with a smile. Right at that moment, the dealer dealt the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop and Stern with a smile answered he would have folded. The {7-Hearts} on the turn left Stern drawing dead, the {2-Hearts} on the river was just there for good measures.

Mo doubled to around 250,000, Stern dropped to around 165,000.

Big Coolers Ends Shakerchi's Tournament

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mark Teltscher opened the action with a raise to 20,000 and Talal Shakerchi right next to him made the call. Fabian Quoss in the big blind came along as well, and the three of them saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Both Quoss and initial raiser Teltscher checked to Shakerchi, and the Brit made a bet of 31,000. Quoss check-raised to 72,000 and Teltscher got out of the way. Shakerchi pondered for a bit, and announced all in. Quoss snap called, so no counts were done.

Talal Shakerchi: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Fabian Quoss: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The {Q-Spades} on the turn was a blank and while Shakerchi kindly asked the dealer for a ten, it wouldn't come: {4-Hearts} on the river.
