Hebert Takes from Weinman

Level 34 : 60,000/120,000, 30,000 ante

Daniel Weinman limped on the button and Joseph Hebert checked his option from the big. The {2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop saw Hebert check and Weinman bet 140,000. Hebert then woke up with a check-raise to 450,000, Weinman called and the {4-Spades} turned, which they both checked.

When the {6-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Hebert used two hands to put out a big bet of 1.2 million. Weinman insta-folded.

Khodayarkhani's Turn to Double

Level 34 : 60,000/120,000, 30,000 ante

Kasra Khodayarkhani was in first position, and open-shoved for 1.22 million. Daniel Weinman called in the big blind, and the cards were on their backs.

Khodayarkhani: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Weinman: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

The dealer fanned {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, which was a very interesting flop. Weinman made two pair, while Khodayarkhani was still very much alive with an open-ended straight draw. The {3-Spades} on the turn was no help to the Texan, but the {q-Clubs} completed the board, giving him a queen-high straight.

He doubled to 2.5 million chips, while Weinman is still healthy with 4.32 million.

"You'd Better Go Plank"

Level 34 : 60,000/120,000, 30,000 ante

Luke Graham moved all in under the gun for 1.755 million holding the {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and received a call from Kasra Khodayarkhani, who held the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} in the small blind.

"You'd better go plank," one of the railbirds told Graham in reference to Daniel Weinman's earlier move in an all-in situation. Graham sort of took the advice as he hopped off the stage and laid down on one of the table.

He wasn't there to see the board run out {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, but he could hear the tournament director announcing the action. Once he had Khodayarkhani drawing dead on the turn, Graham returned to the stage and began stacking chips.

Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Daniel Weinman opened to 250,000 out of the small blind, Kasra Khodayarkhani defended, and the flop fell {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Weinman led out for 275,000, Khodayarkhani called, and both players checked after the {4-Spades} turned.

The {10-Diamonds} completed the board, and Weinman slid forward 600,000. Khodayarkhani splashed a few chips forward, signaling a call, and Weinman turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Khodayarkhani mucked, and Weinman was shipped the two million-chip pot.

Daniel Weinman opened for 200,000 from under the gun and Kasra Khodayarkhani called from the button. The blinds folded, the flop fell {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Khodayarkhani called a bet of 225,000. Both players then checked the {J-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river.

"King high," Weinman said. Khodayarkhani then tabled the winning {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

Small One for Hebert

Level 33 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Kasra Khodayarkhani limped in from the small blind, Joseph Hebert checked, and then both players checked when the flop fell {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Khodayarkhani check-called 100,000 from Hebert when the {q-Hearts} turned, then he check-called another 150,000 when the {3-Spades} completed the board.

Hebert opened up {q-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a pair of queens, and Khodayarkhani mucked his hand.
