Toma Among the Big Stacks in the Field

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tsugunari Toma has accumulated nearly four times the starting stack and recalled a hand in which he raised to 2,800 from under the gun with the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, picking up calls from the button and Laurids Nielsen in the big blind. On the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Toma bet 5,500 for his two opponents to call and the {4-Hearts} followed on the turn.

Only the button called this time and the {9-Diamonds} river brought another bet worth 45,000 by Toma and the call as his full house extracted value. He has since lost some chips but remains among the big stacks heading into level seven.

Fourie Doubles Through Deeb

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

As players started leaving their tables for break, play continued with Shaun Deeb and Conrad Fourie.

Deeb bet 4,000 from the big blind on a {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop and was called by Fourie on the button.

On the {9-Hearts} turn, Deeb fired another 15,000 and was met by an all-in raise to 35,000 from Fourie.

Deeb called and the hands were turned over.

Conrad Fourie: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Shaun Deeb: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Deeb's aces were ahead and he had a diamond draw as well, but the {5-Hearts} fell on the river, giving Fourie two pair to take the pot and double through Deeb.

Kabbaj Binks the River Suckout

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

John Kabbaj invested 15,000 on the {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop to then spike the {3-Spades} on the turn after which he got the chips in against his sole opponent. While spades may often be good here, they were not in this case as Kabbaj was shown the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for queens full.

The Brit tabled the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for kings up and nailed the {k-Clubs} on the river. "Sorry buddy," he said to the other player while Dominykas Karmazinas joked "well played John, don't do this to me please".

Kuney Doubles Through Del Grosso

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Heads-up to the {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Marcello Del Grosso bet the pot and then called the all-in of Michael Kuney for a few chips more as the following cards were flipped over.

Michael Kuney: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Marcello Del Grosso: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"I like my chances here," Kuney joked as he only needed to avoid running cards for a straight or flush. The double was locked up on the {2-Spades} turn to make the {7-Clubs} river a formality, sending 31,600 chips over to Kuney.

Double Knockout for Hu Sends Heich to the Rail

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three ways to the {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, two shorter stacks got their chips into the middle and they were looked up by Nai Hu with the covering stack.

Christian Heich: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Button: {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Nai Hu: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Hu's flopped straight was ahead and even further improved on the {k-Diamonds} turn and {q-Diamonds} river to ensure the double knockout.

Shak Shortens Madsen

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Dan Shak
Dan Shak

After six players went to a flop of {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and everyone checked, Jeff Madsen bet the {8-Diamonds} turn from early position and was only called by Dan Shak on the button.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Madsen bet again, this time for 5,200, but he was quickly met by a raise to 20,000 from Shak.

Madsen contemplated his decision for a bit before choosing to fold then Shak tossed his {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} face up to show his winning full house.
