Tsinis Doubles Through Vaillancourt

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Joseph Kent led out from the big blind for 60,000 and Noah Vaillancourt put in 500,000 — enough to put Kent all in as well as Arkadiy Tsinis, who was yet to act, if either wanted to continue. Tsinis did call it off for 227,000, and Kent folded.

Tsinis: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Vaillancourt: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Vaillancourt had been caught bluffing and had almost no equity, and the {a-Diamonds} turn sealed it by giving Tsinis a boat.

Victor Kim - 17th Place

An open from Kim and a three-bet from Pratyush Buddiga saw a shove from Kim and a quick call from Buddiga.

Victor Kim tabled {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and nodded in resignation when he saw what he faced — Buddiga's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, making Kim the next player to fall.

Brutal Turn for Denison

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Everyone checked a {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, bringing a {7-Diamonds} turn. Grant Denison, who had called an under-the-gun open out of the big blind, bet 75,000. Ryan Leng had also called, from the button, and he raised to 180,000 after the opener folded. Denison asked how much he had back and then called.

On the {7-Hearts} river, Dension checked and snap-called 220,000, and Leng turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight. Denison had a lower straight with {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.
