Kabbani Wins Three-Way All In

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The PokerNews team was called over just as three players were all in pre-flop.

Adel Kabbani was the biggest stack, covering both his opponents who roughly had 850,000 and 1,800,000. The hands were tabled.

Adel Kabbani: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: (850,000) {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: (1,800,000) {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. It was a miracle river for Kabbani who clapped in excitement after knocking out two players.

Lyons Gets Fortunate Runout

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Patrick Lyons
Patrick Lyons

Action was picked up after the fact. According to the table, Pat Lyons was all in and at risk for roughly 2,500,000 and was called by his opponent.

Pat Lyons:{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Opponent:{k-}{k-}

The flop came {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, not giving much hope for Lyons, but when the turn {4-Clubs} and river {3-Spades} fell it was a full double up for Lyons who made the six-high straight beating his opponent's kings.

Carvalho's Ace-King is Strongest

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The player from under the gun went all in for 3,000,000 and was called by Erik Carvalho on the button. Seun Oluwole in the small blind moved all in for 5,400,000 effective. Carvalho called all in and the players flipped their cards on their backs.

Erik Carvalho: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Under the Gun: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Seun Oluwole: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The flop gave Carvalho a flush draw {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} which came through on the {3-Spades} river and left his opponents drawing dead. The {4-Clubs} river was irrelevant.

Cantu Makes Hero Call

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

There was 2,500,000 in the middle on a completed board of {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Brandon Cantu checked to a player on the button.

The button thought for more than a minute, before announcing all in for 2,700,000. Cantu had him covered, but it would be no easy call.

Looking him over, Cantu began counting his chips, surveying how much it would cost his stack.

With two pair already on the board, Cantu called and his opponent flipped over {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for a counterfeited pair.

Players at the table were expecting a full house, but Cantu tabled {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} playing the board for two pair and his ace high was good for a near double up.

"What a call. I folded ace-jack on the flop", said the player to his left.

Hohenstein's River Bet Gets The Job Done

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action picked up when middle position opened to 425,000, which was only called by Aaron Hohenstein on the button.

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} Hohenstein's opponent continued for 665,000 and was called by Hohenstein.

Play slowed down on the {5-Clubs} turn when both players checked. When the river came the {q-Hearts} action was checked over to Hohenstein who sized up to 1,515,000, putting his opponent in the tank.

After much deliberation his opponent folded, awarding Hohenstein the pot.

Straight Flush for Williams; Affleck and Martinez Chipping Up

Level 27 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

PokerNews has had a straight flush reported to us by the players involved.

Action started with an early position open to 260,000. Doug Wiliams called from middle position and so did the small blind.

The flop ran out {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and action checked round.

The turn paired the board with the {8-Spades}. The small blind led for 600,000, early position raiser folded and Williams called.

The river bricked out {2-} and the small blind checked. Williams went large for 800,000, and the small blind called off. Williams tabled {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the flopped straight flush, and the small blind claimed he had {q-}{9-} for a flopped two pair.

Elsewhere, three-time WSOP final table player Matt Affleck is amongst the large stacks, and leader Isidro Martinez is still chipping up.
