Jattin Folds to One Ship, Calls Another

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ryan Riess opened for 25,000 under the gun, Farid Jattin made it 84,000 in the cutoff, and Riess came back with an all-in shove for a little under 400,000. Jattin folded right away.

A little after that, Daniel Wilson jammed for 94,000 and Jattin called with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. He was racing against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} but the flip went Wilson's way as he flopped a king and turned an ace for good measure.

Perkins Eliminated by Greenwood

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Bill Perkins
Bill Perkins

Before the bubble, Bill Perkins had doubled through Max Greenwood and the duo clashed once more to create the following showdown:

Bill Perkins: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Max Greenwood: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to give Greenwood the nutflush and Perkins snapped a quick picture of the hands and board for his Twitter competition before leaving the table with a "thanks guys" and a smile on the face.

Colillas Sends Garcia to the Rail

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Esteban Garcia was all in and at risk for 147,000 and Ramon Colillas looked him up.

Garcia flipped over {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and was in need of help, as Colillas had him dominated with the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. The board ran out {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and that spelled the end for Garcia.

Lewis Gets Four-Flushed

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After a raise to 28,000 from under the gun, Marc Perrault just flat-called on the button. Toby Lewis was in the big blind and moved all in for 182,000. The initial raiser folded and Perrault made a relatively quick call to put Lewis at risk.

Marc Perrault: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Toby Lewis: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Lewis was in a great position to more than double his stack and the flop of {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} was not much for him to worry about. However, the {3-Spades} on the turn gave Perrault a flush draw and sure enough, the {q-Spades} on the river completed his flush.

Adams Pays Off Two Dubs

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brandon Adams had raised and was facing an all-in bet of Michael Dietrich, who had already tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} when we arrived. It was only 79,000 total, so either Adams felt committed or he'd already announced a call. He put his chips in and showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Adams a decent shot but the {4-Clubs} and {9-Spades} weren't enough.

A little after that, he also doubled up Laurynas Levinskas, who showed down {a-Clubs}{a-}. Adams' hand looked like {k-}{q-}, but we couldn't be sure as the dealer was mucking it when we arrived, with the board having ran out queen-high with four-clubs. Adams sent another 120,000 off.

Meanwhile, Josh Reichard and Pierre Calamusa went bust from other tables.

De Silva Binks Double in Dramatic Fashion

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva had the best of it preflop when he got it in for around 20 big blinds with {K-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and faced Felipe Olivieri, who flipped over {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. However, the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop was bad news for De Silva.

He picked up some further outs on the {9-Diamonds} turn and the {J-Clubs} rolled off on the river to restore the preflop order, allowing De Silva to double with a king-high straight.

A Double for Piccioli

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The day had gone incredibly well for Ivaylo Sivinov so far and he also had Bryan Piccioli at the brink of elimination in coin flip fashion.

Bryan Piccioli: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Ivaylo Sivinov: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Sivinov flopped top pair and Piccioli middle set on {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but the {10-Clubs} turn gave Sivinov some more outs.

"Oh come on, please not like that," Piccioli sighed. The blank {Q-Spades} river changed nothing whatsoever and Piccioli immediately told the good news to Griffin Benger one table over.
