Song's Sevens Send Surwald Sailing

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

After Jack Surwald moved all in in early position for 112,000, Stephen Song called in the cutoff to put him at risk.

Jack Surwald: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Stephen Song: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} giving Surwald plenty of additional outs with a flush draw, but the {7-Diamonds} on the turn sealed the hand for Song, even before the {7-Spades} on the river gave him quad sevns to win the hand in emphatic fashion.

Jordison Crushed by Nguyen in Biggest Pot of Tournament

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Angela Jordison
Angela Jordison

Toan Nguyen and Angela Jordison have been battling for a couple of levels with Jordison recently picking off Nguyen's bluff attempt with second pair.

Their battle came to a head recently in a massive pot that saw Nguyen take the majority of Jordison's chips.

Nguyen opened in early position to 19,000 and was three-bet by Jordison in late position to 55,000. Nguyen came back with a four-bet to 120,000 and Jordison five-bet jammed on him for 463,000 effective.

After a couple of minutes of thought Nguyen spiked a stack of chips forward to call, creating a nearly 1,000,000 chip pot.

Toan Nguyen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Angela Jordison: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Nguyen's queens had Jordison's jacks pipped, and after the {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} runout, the chips were pushed to Nguyen who claimed the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Tanimoto Tops 800k

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arthur Tanimoto raised to 23,000 in middle position and was called by Brett Murray in the cutoff.

The flop came {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and both players checked.

They also checked the {8-Spades} turn before Tanimoto bet 16,000 on the {9-Spades} river and Murray called.

Tanimoto showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for top pair and the winner for a small pot, but one that takes him over the 800,000 chip mark.

Jordison's Stack is Jumpin' After Great Call

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Angela Jordison
Angela Jordison

Angela Jordison is now among the chip leaders after taking down a sizable pot versus Toan Nguyen.

Picking action up on the turn with about 100,000 in the pot and the board reading {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Nguyen bet 21,000 from the big blind and was called by Jordison in middle position.

On the {3-Hearts} river, Nguyen bet 41,000 and after a bit of deliberation, Jordison called.

Nguyen showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a failed bluff, while Jordison showed {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped second pair which was good.

Rabinowitz Survives Bubble Cooler Versus Loncar

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Darren Rabinowitz
Darren Rabinowitz

After Darren Rabinowitz opened under the gun to 12,000, Michael Loncar three-bet to 35,000.

Action folded back to Rabinowitz who moved all in for 164,000 and Loncar snap-called.

Darren Rabinowitz: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Michael Loncar: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Rabinowitz was on the verge of being the bubble boy despite having 27 big blinds to start the hand.

The dealer saved him though as he fanned {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Spades} to give Rabinowitz a set of kings.

Loncar couldn't score the re-suck though as the {3-Clubs} turn and {4-Diamonds} river sealed the hand and prolonged the bubble.
