Ladies Hold for Giguere for Another Double

Level 35 : 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante

Daren Keyes raised to 20 million on the button and Joel Giguere moved all-in for 113 million from the small blind. Mike Leah had {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} in the big blind and tank-folded. Keyes called.

Giguere tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, up against Keyes' {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Keye picked up a ton of outs with a flush draw and a straight draw. The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river was the {4-Clubs} for a couple of bricks to ship the pot to Giguere.

Keyes to the Castle

Level 34 : 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

With 62 million in the pot, on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Kevin Rivest led out for 23 million from the small blind.

Daren Keyes was in the big blind and tanked before moving all-in for 207 million. Rivest snap-called.

Keyes was at risk with {a-}{5-} for two pair, up against Rivest's {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces with a ten kicker. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Keyes doubled through.

Keyes now has more than half of the chips in play.

Leah Wins a Flip to Get Back in It

Level 34 : 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Mike Leah was under the gun and shoved all-in for 87 million with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Action folded to Joel Giguere in the big blind with {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and he called for a coin flip.

Leah needed to catch heat, but the flop reading {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} was of no help. The turn was the magical {a-Diamonds} to give Leah a pair of aces and the lead and lock up the double-up. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and the dealer shipped Leah the pot.

Level 33 : 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Maurizio Lo Russo
Maurizio Lo Russo

Daren Keyes opened to 11 million under-the-gun with {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and found a caller in Maurizio Lo Russo with {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} in the cutoff.

The flop was {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Keyes bet 6.9 million which Lo Russo called. Both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn and the {q-Clubs} on the river put a flush on board.

Keyes bet 21 million and snap-called when Lo Russo jammed all-in.

Seeing the bad news, Lo Russo said goodbye and departed in 5th place.
