Mckellar Goes for a Flip

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pierce Mckellar raised it up from the hijack and Marius Johansen shoved all in for around 500,000 from the cutoff. The action was back on Mckellar who quickly called to put Johansen at risk.

Marius Johansen: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Pierce Mckellar: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

It was no doubt a coin flip for Mckellar who was going to be looking at at least two overcards from Johansen. The board ran out {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Johansen was unable to connect, sending him to the rail.

Zhang Can't Crack Kings This Time

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

William Nunley opened to 130,000 with {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} from the middle position and Zilong Zhang called on his direct left with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Nunley bet 265,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop before Zhang raised to 880,000. Nunley called.

The {4-Hearts} turn helped neither player but Nunley was still ahead and action checked through.

Nunley checked the {j-Diamonds} river and Zhang checked back his top pair but saw the pot head over to his opponent.

Zhang Outflops Kings

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Zilong Zhang
Zilong Zhang

Michael Pickett made it 120,000 with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} from middle position and Zilong Zhang called with {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} from the cutoff.

The {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop gave Zhang trips and Trickett checked it over to the Las Vegas resident. Zhang bet 85,000 and was called.

The {2-Clubs} turn prompted another check from Trickett and Zhang fired for 265,000. Again Trickett called.

With 1,090,000 in the middle, the {a-Clubs} hit the river, double pairing the board. Trickett made it a trio of checks while Zhang bet for a third time. He sent in another 1,120,000 into the pot to put Trickett in an awkward situation. Tricket ended up calling and saw that Zhang had rivered a full house.

Lee Doubles Through Hou

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stanley Lee on the button found himself all in and at risk against Jorge Hou from under the gun.

Stanley Lee: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Jorge Hou: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Lee was flipping to stay alive in the tournament but managed to pull in front on the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. The {q-Diamonds} turn did give Hou a flush draw but it did not come in on the {k-Clubs} river, handing Lee the full double.

Lococo Goes Lococo!!

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo
Alejandro Lococo

Alejandro Lococo raised it up from the hijack and Karim Rebei defended from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and both players checked to the {k-Spades} on the turn.

Rebei led out with a bet of 140,000 and Lococo raised to 485,000. Rebei responded with a three-bet to 1,135,000 and this is where things got interesting. Lococo announced a raise but put in the wrong amount, therefore was committed to a min-raise of 1,785,000.

Rebei took the opportunity to push out a five-bet to 4,000,000 which put Lococo into the tank for at least six minutes. After looking visibly distressed, Lococo eventually announced all-in for 5,710,000.

"Oops," Rebei said to the rail as he shrugged his shoulders. He still asked for a count and gave it some thought for a couple of minutes and even got the chips ready to call. However, Rebei opted to lay his hand down and Lococo flashed the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} as he started clapping and shouting "Let's go!" as he dragged in a massive pot.

Snippets of the hand, played on the outer feature table without hole cards, can be seen below (courtesy of PokerGO).
