Kings Good for March on Scary Board

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Tony March had raised to 8,500 pre-flop and got one caller.

The pair checked both the {7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and the {7-Diamonds} turn.

His opponent bet 7,000 on the {a-Spades} river and March snap-called with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, beating the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} of his opponent.

"Should have just checked!" said his opponent as March chipped up.

Campbell Cracks Aces, Eliminates Two

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

The under-the-gun player open-jammed for 4,100, John Hernandez three-bet jammed over the top for 23,600 from middle position and action folded around to Matt Campbell who four-bet all in for 51,000 from the cutoff, the remaining players folded.

John Hernandez: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
All In Player: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Matt Campbell: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Campbell was behind but took a commanding lead after the {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop.

Both Hernandez and the under the gun player picked up Broadway draws but it didn't come on the {4-Diamonds} turn.

Campbell needed to dodge any ace or ten and he did just that as the river came the {7-Hearts} and he eliminated both opponents.

Teranie Gets it Right to Bust Zhou

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} board, Behzad Teranie had bet 10,000 but Quan Zhou had raised all in for 38,000.

You might remember Quan Zhou for bubbling the 2017 WSOP Main Event, and here Teranie was sat thinking before calling.

Quan Zhou: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Behzad Teranie: {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

"I knew you had that," said Teranie referring to the ace of diamonds. The turn {10-Spades} gave Teranie a lock on the hand with a full house and the river was the {j-Spades}, sending Zhou to the rail.

"That was the case-ten," said a player at the table. "I folded ten-nine."

"No it wasn't," said another player. "I folded ten-eight and would have made a higher full house."

Who can tell how many tens are in this particular deck of cards. What we do know is that Zhou is out and Teranie is close to double starting stack.

Wang Eliminates Wagner With Cowboys

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Simon Wagner opened for 2,500 from late position and action folded to Haoxiang Wang who three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind. Kimbo Tenorio defended his big and Wagner came along.

Wagner check-called the 17,000 bet from Wang after the {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and Tenorio folded.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and Wager checked his option once again to Wang who moved all in. Wagner peeled back his cards and looked at them really well before making the call for less.

Haoxiang Wang: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Simon Wagner: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Wagner needed a jack to win but the river came the {9-Clubs} and he exited the tournament field.
