"Don't Give the Fat Boy Chips"; Nezhoda Doubles Off Chang

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nevan Chang raised to 160,000 in early position as the table folded around to the blinds. While the action went to him, Rene Nezhoda was chatting with table neighbor Niklas Astedt about all the bad beats they've been involved with so far this tournament.

"That's poker. We've all given it out, we've all taken it," Nezhoda said. He called in the big blind, as did small blind Edward Pak.

Chang continued for 350,000 on the K103 flop and Pak folded. Nezhoda, though, moved all in for 1,195,000.

"I can stand up, right? My hand's not dead? I don't want to have a heart attack," Nezhoda said as he got up from his seat. Chang tanked for more than three minutes before calling.

Rene Nezhoda: KQ All in
Nevan Chang: AJ

Nezhoda was ahead with top pair, while Chang had a straight draw. The turn was the 9, while the 10 fell on the river to seal Nezhoda's double up.

"That's usually how I bust out of tournaments. Don't give the fat boy chips," the former Storage Wars star said as he sat back in his seat.

Buhaiov Under Pressure from Arbogast

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

There were 1,500,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8763K when Andrew Arbogast had shoved the river into Nazar Buhaiov. With only around 1,100,000 chips behind, this was a decision for all of Buhaiov's remaining chips. After some time in the tank, Buhaiov's tablemates told him that he had a little more time before they called the clock, and eventually he folded.

Nawa Blows Tehan Off the Second Nuts

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joe Tehan raised to 160,000 in middle position and picked up three callers, including Cameron Mixson on the button and Mauro Juarez and Hiroki Nawa in the blinds.

All four players checked the 257 flop and Nawa bet 350,000 on the 10 turn. Only Tehan called.

The river was the J and Nawa bet 380,000. Tehan then raised to 1,200,000 and Nawa quickly announced he was all in.

The dealer began to count out Nawa's stack as Tehan held up his cards. "It doesn't matter," Tehan said as he tossed K9 into the muck. Nawa, sitting with a giant pink pig plush figure in front of him, returned his cards face down as he took the pot.

Sagle Flips Payne to the Rail

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Antonio Payne moved all in for 1,200,000 in middle position and Jason Sagle put him at risk from early position.

Antonio Payne: AQ All in
Jason Sagle: JJ

Payne was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 5J10, giving him a straight draw, but giving Sagle top set. The 5 turn was no help, while Sagle improved to a full house on the 10 river to send Payne to the rail.

Quenneville Bluffs Into Wu's Set

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Yake Wu
Yake Wu

Troy Quenneville opened from early position to 160,000 and Yake Wu called on the button.

On the 103K flop, Wu check-called a bet of 185,000 from Quenneville.

The 5 came on the turn and again Wu check-called after Quenneville bet 725,000.

When the 4 completed the runout, Wu checked for a third time then Quenneville announced a big bet of 1,900,000. Wu took this time but eventually settled on a call.

Quenneville seemed reluctant to show but eventually flipped Q8 for a missed flush draw, and Wu took the pot with 33 for a set.

Straight on the Board

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Boris Angelov in middle position raised to 160,000 and he was called by David Collins in the small blind. However Alexander Tkatschew in the big blind decided to three-bet all in for 1,985,000. Angelov four-bet all in and Collins folded KJ.

Alexander Tkatschew: KQ All in
Boris Angelov: AK

Tkatschew needed a queen or hearts to survive, but a straight on the 64753 board worked as well and both players split the pot.
