Kothari's Double Just Tickles Payne

Calum Grant

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Joshua Payne raised to 500,000 on the button and Harsheel Kothari took a minute before shoving all in for 1,575,000 in the big blind. Payne instantly flicked in a chip to call and the cards were on their backs.

Harsheel Kothari: 9♣7♣
Joshua Payne: 9♠6♠

The flop came K♠10♠2♥ and Payne picked up a flush draw with his nine-high. The 3♣ on the turn reduced the chances of a chop and the 7♦ on the river gave Kothari the lone pair to double up.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Andrew Hulme opened to 525,000 from middle position and Tim Van Loo called in the hijack before Adam Walton three-bet to 1,800,000 from the cutoff. Hulme folded and Van Loo sat still before reraising all in as Walton snap-called with the effective stack of 9,450,000.

Adam Walton: A♣Q♥
Tim Van Loo: J♣J♦

Walton was flipping for his Main Event life and got no help from the flop of 7♣4♥10♠.

"I just want a queen on the river," Walton said.

He didn't have to wait that long as the Q♠ appeared on the turn to give him the lead and his rail erupted as the K♦ river confirmed a double-up.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action started with a raise to 550,000 by Jack O'Neill in the hijack on the Horseshoe Feature Table.

Carlos Henrique Da Silva three-bet to 1,850,000 on the button and O'Neill made it 4,550,000 to go.

Da Silva pondered his next move for a while and cut out the big chip denominations to five-bet to 7,500,000, which appeared to be half of his stack.

O'Neill then six-bet-jammed for around 15 million and that sent the Brazilian deep into the tank. After more than five minutes, the clock was called on him and Da Silva folded.

The action folded to Steven Jones in the hijack who shipped all in for 4,100,000. Bryan Obregon thought for a minute on the button and then called to put Jones at risk.

Steven Jones: A♦Q♠

The flop came Q♣3♠2♠ and Jones picked up a pair of queens to take the lead. The 4♣ on the turn changed nothing and the K♥ on the river gave Jones the double up.

Massive Pot Goes to Lapido

Calum Grant

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Juan Maceiras Lapido opened to 500,000 in the cutoff and Dean Hutchison three-bet to 2,500,000 in the small blind.

"Uh, oh! How much is that?" Lapido asked before calling. "I'm not going anywhere."

Hutchison continued for 1,850,000 on the J♥3♥3♠ flop and Lapido raised to 4,500,000. Hutchison called as the camera crew worked its way over.

Hutchison checked on the J♠ turn and Lapido sized down to 3,500,000. Hutchison again called. Hutchison checked once more on the 4♥ river and Lapido pulled the trigger and announced "all in."

Hutchison went deep into the tank for over five minutes as he considered calling off with his final 8,500,000. He eventually folded and Lapido wiped his forehead as those at the table encouraged him to turn over a bluff.

"I may have been bluffing with the best hand, but I don't think so. I had two pair. Better than jacks and threes."
