Lie Raises it Away on the River

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Aylar Lie
Aylar Lie

On a completed board of J?10?8?K?K?, Kenji Harada bet 3,500 into the pot of about 9,000, and his only opponent in the hand Aylar Lie raised to 10,000.

Harada tanked for about a minute and ultimately decided to muck his hand as the dealer pushed the pot to Lie.

Deeb Goes for Broke with Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Alexandros Theologis and Shaun Deeb were heads-up in a pot with around 30,000 in the middle already. The board read 6?5?2?9? and Theologis checked from middle position. Deeb was on his left and sized up a bet of 15,200 which Theologis called.

The river was the 3? and Theologis thought for a minute before tapping the table. Deeb pushed out his entire stack of around 30,500, putting Theologis back in the tank. After another minute passed, Theologis laid his hand down and Deeb flashed his A?A? to the table.

Lucky River For Dawood

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Fazel Dawood opened from the hijack, and was called by Benoit Grobocopatel on the button and by the big blind.

On 5?K?10?, the big blind checked, letting Dawood bet another 3,200. Grobocopatel called, but not the big blind.

The 7? came on the turn, and Dawood continued with a big bet of 22,000. In front of him, Grobocopatel moved all in. Dawood took a long moment, and called.

Fazel Dawood: A?A?
Benoit Grobocopatel: 10?7?

At risk, Dawood could only hope for a miracle as his aces were beaten by Grobocopatel's two pairs. And Dawood's prayers have been heard, as he hit the K? for two better pairs.

Gold Check-Raises Ortega

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Jamie Gold limped in for 500 from under the gun before Jacques Ortega raised to around 2,200 in middle position. The big blind called and Gold also called.

Action checked to Ortega on the flop of J?2?4? and Ortega continued for 2,600. The big blind folded and Gold check-raised to 6,200. Ortega folded and tapped the table in defeat as the 2006 Main Event champion showed the goods with the J?.

Small Double As Silva Flops Boat

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Matthew Silva was all in and at risk for 10,000 from the small blind against Sergi Reixach in middle position, who had him covered.

Matthew Silva: J?J?
Sergi Reixach: 10?10?

Silva had Reixach pipped and managed to flop a full house on the J?5?5? board before the K?4? runout earned him a small double.

Reixach lost an earlier pot against Jim McManus, who got to showdown with aces to chip up slightly.
