"Wrecking Ball" Davis Fills Up in a Monster Pot to Bust Sanchez

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Kevin Davis
Kevin Davis

Three players saw a flop of 952 where Brian Rast bet 850,000 from early position. Kevin Davis then raised to 1,800,000 in middle position.

Action then went on Francisco Sanchez in the big blind who moved all in for 7,000,000. Rast asked for a count of both opponents' stacks as he went into the tank for several minutes.

He eventually folded, but Davis snap-called to create a massive pot with more than 15,000,000 at stake.

Francisco Sanchez: AJ All in
Kevin Davis: 22

Rast said he folded two jacks as Sanchez showed down the nut flush draw, while Davis had a set of deuces. The turn was the 5 and Davis improved to a full house to leave Sanchez drawing dead.

Sanchez cruelly saw the 8 fall on the river that completed his no-good flush and laughed it off as he filmed the action before heading for the rail.

"You're a wrecking ball, man," Rast told Davis, who moved up to 26,000,000 and into the tournament chip lead.

Yake Wu
Yake Wu

Yake Wu opened to 300,000 from early position and Andrew Arbogast three-bet jammed a stack of 1,7750,000 from the big blind. Wu gave it some thought and called with a bigger stack.

Andrew Arbogast: 66 All in
Yake Wu: A9

Wu took a big lead on the flop of AJK and the runout of A7 only improved his hand as Arbogast was sent to the rail.

Serock Flips Zevola to the Payout Desk

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Joe Serock
Joe Serock

A short-stacked Marco Zevola put his hopes on the AK and he was up against Joe Serock, who took the coin flip with the 55.

The 984 flop gave Zevola additional outs with the flush draw and he gained more equity with the 9 turn, as he added another two counterfit outs. However, the 5 river only improved Serock to a full house and Zevola exited a few minutes prior to the dinner break.

Jason Sagle opened to 240,000 in middle position and Timo Trems three-bet jammed a stack of around 2,550,000 on the button. Sagle called with a bigger stack as action got back around.

Timo Trems: 88 All in
Jason Sagle: AQ

Trems' eights were still ahead after the 293 flop and 4 turn, but the Q river gave Sagle a pair of queens as Trems was sent to the rail.

Rakan Abusaleh

Niklas Astedt in the hijack opened to 240,000 with Q9, but Julio Trimmer on the button three-bet to 800,000. Rakan Abu-Saleh in the big blind then jammed for 1,420,000. Astedt folded but Trimmer made the call.

Rakan Abu-Saleh: AK All in
Julio Trimmer: Q6

Abu-Saleh was on his way to double up after the flop of 328 and the J turn. But the Q river landed on the felt to give top pair to Trimmer and send him the rail.

Brumaru Busts to Moura in Big Pot

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Gabriel Moura
Gabriel Moura

Gabriel Moura defended the big blind against a raise to 250,000 by Alexandru Brumaru. They headed to the J109 flop on which Moura check-raised from 250,000 to 900,000. Brumaru clicked it back to 2,900,000 and then got it in when Moura shoved.

Alexandru Brumaru: JJ All in
Gabriel Moura: KQ

The flopped nut straight needed to avoid the board to pair and the 7 turn as well as 4 river did just that. Both stacks were counted and Moura covered to send Brumaru to the payout desk.
