Harwood Loses Flip to Bust

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

Seyed Tabib limped in from the small blind and Loni Harwood raised to 52,400, leaving herself with just 2,700 behind. Tabib announced "I call" and was about to turn over his cards before he was reminded that Harwood was not all in yet. "Okay, I just call," Tabib confirmed and the flop fell {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

"I am sorry for you, I got the nuts," Tabib said right after betting 15,000 and Harwood called a few seconds later.

Loni Harwood: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Seyed Tabib: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

While Harwood was not drawing dead yet, she needed running fours for quads to avoid elimination. It was all over after the {2-Spades} turn, making the {7-Hearts} river a formality. Alan Cutler then reminded Tabib that his verbal announcement was on the edge and that he should be more careful.

Duarte Doubles with Flopped Flush

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

In a hand that occurred on the steam on the secondary feature table, Konstantin Puchkov opened to 5,500 and Kenny Hallaert called, as did Luiz Duarte on the button and Benoit Jean called from the big blind.

The flop landed {9-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Spades} and the action checked to Duarte who bet 6,500. Only Hallaert called before both players checked the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

The river landed the {6-Clubs} and Hallaert pushed out a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips to put Duarte all in. Duarte re-checked his hole cards and called all in for 43,600.

Hallaert tabled his {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for just queen-high before Duarte tabled his {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for the nut flush, and the double to 127,000 in chips. Hallaert now drops down to 411,300.

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Nick Petrangelo bet 8,000 from early position on an {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, getting one call. Mike Gao popped it up slightly to 18,000 on the button. One player in between folded, Petrangelo called, and the first caller folded to leave it heads up. Both checked the {9-Spades}, and the river was a {10-Clubs}. Petrangelo moved all in, and Gao immediately called off his last 46,800.

Kyriakides Fades the Snap-Call

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Thomas Waters moved all in under the gun for 47,900. Juha Helppi called in the next seat, and Miltiadis Kyriakides shoved all in from the very next seat for about 270,000. Action folded back to Helppi, who thought for a moment.

"Yes!" Kyriakides said, pleased he faded the snap-call. "Yes!"

Helppi smiled and folded.

Waters: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Kyriakides: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The dealer rapidly fired a board of {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Kyriakides collected the pot. Helppi assured him his own hand wouldn't have beaten the kings either.
