Sebesta Runs the Nuts

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Theo Da Cruz Lima jammed under the gun for about 80,000 and Ed Sebesta called when it folded to him in the big blind, showing {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. He was fading three outs as Lima had {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}. The {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop meant Sebesta had to catch up now, but the {5-Hearts} gave him more cards to hit. The {9-Hearts} was one of his outs and he celebrated with relief.

Adams Takes a Big One Off Ropert

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joining the action on the {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} turn, Corentin Ropert checked and called a hefty bet of 100,000 by Brandon Adams. The duo then headed to the {7-Spades} river and Ropert checked once more. Adams fired a bet of 160,000 and the camera crews gathered around the table, sensing a pivotal pot and possible new chip leader.

Ropert gave it some thought, but ended up releasing his cards into the muck. While Adams may not be in the lead right now, he is certainly among the biggest stacks in the room and turned his late entry before the start of Day 2 into a tremendous opportunity.

Kennedy and Lewis Double

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Andrew Graham raised to 13,000 and called the shove of Christopher Kennedy for 121,500 after some consideration.

Christopher Kennedy: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Andrew Graham: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board of {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{A-Clubs} provided the ace on the river to keep Kennedy in contention.

One table over, Toby Lewis three-bet all in for around 22 big blinds and Thomas Muehloecker looked him up with the {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Lewis held the dominating pocket pair with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the board of {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} brought no upset.

Manole Out on His Shield

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

We found Mihai Manole in early position considering whether to call off against Dan O'Brien for about 83,000. The pot was around 120,000 and O'Brien, on the button, had jammed river with {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} on the felt. Manole tanked until a clock was called and then flicked in a chip before the countdown could get going.

O'Brien showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the flopped nuts and Manole stared briefly before exiting. The dealer turned over {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Staples Can't Survive a Three-Outer

Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 12,500 from middle position and Jaime Staples pushed all in for his last 100,000 from the big blind. Rettenmaier asked for a count and then made the call to put Staples at risk.

Marvin Rettenmaier: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Jaime Staples: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Staples was in a great position to double up, hoping to avoid an ace. However, the flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} was detrimental, leaving Staples with just one out to stay alive. The turn and river were of no help as the PokerStars Pro headed for the exit.

New Chip Leader Found

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Delmas Eliminates Billard

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Francois Billard was all in for his last 105,000 chips and was called by the big stack at the table, Adrien Delmas. Billard had an uphill battle to climb with {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of Delmas.

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} to give Billard some hope with a pair of nines. However, the {6-Clubs} on the turn and the {5-Hearts} on the river sent the Canadian to the rail.
