Daniel Colman Defeats Jason Mercier

Level 30 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

After losing a huge pot where he called a large river bet and was shown {k-}{8-} for a rivered top pair of kings, Jason Mercier pushed all in from the button with {q-}{2-} and was called by Daniel Colman with {a-}{3-}. Mercier didn't improve on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} board, and Colman took the match.

Chidwick Loses Lead

Level 29 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Stephen Chidwick was tanking against an all-in bet from Mark Radoja on a board of {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}. After a few minutes of thought and counting out his stack, Chidwick dropped in a call.

Chidwick: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Radoja: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The river bricked off with the {2-Diamonds}, and the defending champ snagged a double.

Ankush Mandavia Defeats Faraz Jaka

Level 29 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

We found Faraz Jaka firing 27,000 on fourth street when the {a-Diamonds} made the board {9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Ankush Mandavia called, and the river brought an {8-Hearts}. Jaka announced all in and was instantly called.

Jaka showed {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a set of jacks, but Mandavia had it beat with a flush, holding {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Michael Ferrell Defeats Thomas Cannuli

Level 29 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

As recapped to us by Michael Ferrell...

Ferrell raised on the button and Thomas Cannuli called to see a {6-}{5-}{3-} flop. Cannuli check-called 4,500 from Ferrell, a {7-} fell on the turn (putting two of the same suit on board) and Cannuli led for 12,000. Ferrell called, an {A-} completed the board (putting a possible flush on board) and Cannuli bet 25,000. Ferrell called with {7-}{4-}, besting Cannuli's {Q-}{10-} for queen high.

The following hand, the chips went in after a {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-} board. Ferrell held {K-}{7-} to Cannuli's {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Cannuli failed to hit as the board came running kings to further improve Ferrell's hand to a full house.
