Sinclair Gets Even Shorter

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

jack Sinclair raised the button and found a single caller in Anatoly Filatov from the small blind. The flop of {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and the {4-Clubs} turn brought no betting action. On the {4-Diamonds} river, Filatov bet 40,000 and Sinclair checked his stack carefully before calling. Filatov turned over {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for nines and fours and that won the pot.

Benoit Caught Bluffing

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Van Tiep Nguyen raised to 35,000 on the button and Benjamin Benoit called in the small blind, as did Jack Sinclair in the big blind. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and was checked through. After the {J-Hearts} turn, Benoit made it 100,000 to go and Sinclair folded while Nguyen called.

The {K-Diamonds} river completed the board and Benoit bet again, this time for 210,000. Nguyen, who had just over 400,000 behind, called and Benoit rolled over {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a busted straight and flush draw. Nguyen showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of kings and that won the pot.

Sinclair Takes from Filatov; Gives it to Benoit

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jack Sinclair raised to 35,000 from the button and Anatoly Filatov three-bet to 100,000 in the small blind. The action was back on Sinclair and the four-bet shove of the Brit won the pot uncontested.

Then, Sinclair made it 35,000 again and Benjamin Benoit called out of the big blind. On a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}, Benoit checked and subsequently check-raised to 115,000 with Sinclair making the call.

After the {A-Spades} turn, Benoit bet 50,000 and picked up a call by Sinclair before checking the {9-Spades} river. Sinclair checked behind and Benoit turned over {5-Clubs}{3-Spades} with a smirk on the face. Sinclair double-checked his cards and mucked.

Filatov Bests Nguyen

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Anatoly Filatov bet the {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop for 40,000 and Van Tiep Nguyen called in the big blind. The {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn and Filatov checked, while Nguyen bet 75,000. The partypoker team pro called and the duo checked the {10-Spades} on the river.

Filatov was first to show and revealed {8-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a pair of deuces only, which was still good enough to win the pot.

Sinclair Doubles Through Benoit

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

A raise by Benjamin Benoit on the button saw Jack Sinclair shove from the small blind for 198,000 and Benoit called. "Yeah, I don't even care what the hands are," short stack Moritz Dietrich said.

Jack Sinclair: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Benjamin Benoit: {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop gave Benoit a gutshot, while some outs vanished with the {J-Clubs} turn. "Yeah, club please," Sinclair said and was equally satisfied with the blank {3-Diamonds} on the river to secure the double.

Plenty of Action at the Table

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

All players, well except for Van Tiep Ngyuen, have joined the live "camera" action initiated by Anatoly Filatov and Jack Sinclair doubled with {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} against the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Filatov in a battle of the blinds. The board came {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Sinclair doubled for 121,000 with the nut flush.

Benjamin Benoit then took a pot with pocket aces against Filatov before the partypoker team pro got involved into a bigger hand with Benoit. On the {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, Filatov bet 50,000 and Benoit called on the button before the {7-Diamonds} turn was checked. Filatov bet the {K-Clubs} river for 135,000 and Benoit mucked the nut flush draw face up.

Back to more than a million, Filatov took on Nguyen and check-called a bet of 40,000 on the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} turn. Filatov led the {5-Diamonds} river for 120,000 and Nguyen eventually called to see Filatov turn over {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for bottom pair. Nguyen claimed the pot with {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and jumped into the second spot.
