Guilherme Forces Out K-High Flush

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

15,000 chips were in the middle, as three players saw a flop of {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}. Once checked to, the button, James Felder Jr., bet 7,000 into the blinds. From the small blind, Guilherme Soares, re-raised to 16,000. The big blind got out of the way and Felder Jr called.

With the pot building to 47,000, the Portuguese-based player made it 15,000 on the {4-Spades}. Again, Felder Jr called and they were off to a river.

The {9-Diamonds} fell to complete the board and Soares shoved all-in, covering his opponents 100,000 chip stack.

''I got the second nut flush...are you boated?'' asked Felder Jr. Soares remained stoic and after three or four minutes, Felder Jr folded, awarding the pot Soares.

Bowen's River Barrel Takes Down Pot

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The table arrived three handed to the flop with about 25,000 in the middle. The flop came {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The small blind bet 10,000. The big blind quickly mucked their hand. Christopher Bowen called from middle position.

The turn came {7-Hearts}. The small blind checked this time, and Bowen bet 25,000 behind. The small blind began counting out chips, considering a raise, before settling on a call.

The final card read {6-Hearts}, and again the small blind checked. Bowen took a moment to determine his bet size, and then placed 50,000 into the middle. His opponent seemed pained to do so, but made the lay down, giving Bowen the pot of about 90,000.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos

All the chips were in the middle of the table before the flop with Kyriakos Papadopoulos calling the all-in from an opponent with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for 50,000. It was a flip as his opponent held {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The board came {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Papadopoulos turned a set to win that race and keep building a big stack.

Gabriel Andrade
Gabriel Andrade

Duston Wallace raised to 10,000 from the cutoff, the small blind called and then poker pro Gabriel Andrade moved all-in for 60,000 from the big blind. Wallace also moved in for 126,000 effective and the small blind got out of the way.

Gabriel Andrade: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Duston Wallace: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The runout of {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} was no help to Andrade and Wallace's rockets sent him soaring up the leaderboard.

Blind vs Blind Battle

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action folded around to the small blind who called 2,500 more and Grady Suneson checked his option in the big blind.

The flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} saw the small blind lead for 6,000 and was quickly raised to 20,000 by Suneson, which was then called.

On the turn {6-Spades} the opponent checked and was again faced with a 20,000 chip bet from Suneson which they again called.

The river {5-Clubs} was checked over to Suneson who again bet, this time to 25,000. The opponent tank-called and was shown {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a flopped two-pair which was good enough to win the pot.

During this hand James Remero joined the table with a starting stack.

Klier's Queen Hits for Him to Double Up

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was folded to the hijack who led for 6,000. Action then folded to Ben Klier in the big blind, who shoved for 34,000. The hijack quickly found the call, and the players tabled their hands.

Klier: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Hijack: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The players wished each other luck as the dealer began to laying down cards. Klier connected immediately, as the flop came {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, giving him top pair, but giving the hijack a flush draw. The runout came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, meaning Klier's top pair held, and he doubled up.

Everyone Loves a Chop Pot

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

An ultimately anti-climatic pot just took place after lots of action preflop. After a player raised under the gun to 5,000, David Gelley chose a three-bet sizing of 11,500 from middle position. It folded to Evert Bos on the button and he four-bet to 30,500 chips. With the original raiser getting out the way, Gelley did eventually decide on a call.

After the {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop fell, both players quickly checked.

Again, on the turn {5-Hearts} and river {6-Diamonds}, both players checked their hands down to showdown. Bos turned over his {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and the Nevada native, jokingly announced ''No good!'', flipping his {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} over to split the 70,000 chip pot with the Dutch player.
