Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante
Stefan Lehner Tony Tran
Stefan Lehner Tony Tran

A completed board of {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} was spread across the felt with Tony Tran and Stefan Lehner heads-up. Tran led out with a bet of 5,000 on the river and Lehner ripped all in.

Tran was sitting with just over 40,000 in front of him as he dipped into the tank. After a couple of minutes, Tran finally made the call for all of his chips and Lehner sheepishly showed {j-Spades}{8-Spades}. Tran tabled his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a straight and earned himself a double up.

Youssafi Fills Up on Ekinci

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Yunus Ekinci was seen catapulting out of his seat on Table 112 and for good reason. Ekinci got all of his chips in the middle against Khali Youssafi on a flop of {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Ekinci flopped a straight with {j-Spades}{9-Spades} while Youssafi had a set of queens with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The turn was the {k-Spades} which left Ekinci in the lead but the {8-Spades} paired the board on the river and Youssafi improved to a full house. Ekinci sent over a double up which left him with just 3,000 chips after the hand and he would bust just two hands later.
