Wu Hits Straight With "The Diaper"; Pays Off Seymour

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Richard Seymour
Richard Seymour

Stephen Chidwick opened to 27,000 with the AJ in late position and Richard Seymour called on the button with the K9, Andrew Wu came along in the big blind with the 32. The 754 flop was checked to Seymour, who bet 45,000.

Only Wu called with "The Diaper", the favourite hand of Nicholas Rigby. Wu led the 6 turn for 70,000 when he hit the straight and Seymour called with the king-high flush. That brought them to the A river and Wu slowed down, checking over to the NFL All Star.

Seymour pondered about his sizing for a while and bet 180,000 into 319,000 for Wu to call rather swiftly.

Cossio-Ruiz Exerts Max Pressure

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 28,000 and received calls from David Cossio-Ruiz on the button, Heather Alcorn in the small blind and a player in the big blind.

Action checked around to Cossio-Ruiz, who bet 35,000 on the 67K flop. Alcorn folded, the big blind folded and the hijack made the call.

The turn came the 9. The hijack led for 150,000 and Cossio-Ruiz responded by moving all in, forcing a fold from his opponent and taking down a nice pot without showdown.

Andrew Wu

The next three-way pot to the K33 flop saw Juan Maceiras Lapido bet 25,000 with the AQ. Andrew Wu raised to 50,000 with the K10 and Stephen Chidwick folded the 55 while Maceiras Lapido called.

That brought them to the Q turn on which Maceiras Lapido check-folded to a bet worth 100,000, flashing his queen. Wu returned the favour and showed one of his cards as well.

Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

On a board of 8428, Ludovic Geilich bet out 28,000 and Ryan Brown made the call.

The 8 rolled off on the river, putting three of a kind on board, and Geilich flicked in another bet, this time 98,000. Brown took his time and eventually made the call.

Geilich tabled AQ, and it was good as Brown mucked his hand.

Brewer Spends Several Minutes in Suspense

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

Chris Brewer and Luubao Nguyen had created a massive pot of 440,000 chips before the river had been dealt. Once it had been, the board read 89QK3 and Nguyen checked to Brewer.

Brewer then concocted an overbet of 500,000 and put it in the middle. This sent Nguyen into a deep tank that lasted for several minutes. The entire table watched in silence as the tension was palpable.

Finally, Nguyen decided to let go, shipping the pot to Brewer.

Awad Flops a Set With Ducks; Gets No Major Value

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Richard Seymour opened the action with a raise to 27,000 with the AJ, picking up calls from Andrew Wu with the QJ, Boutros Awad in the small blind with the 22 and Sebastin Kolman who held the K7 in the big blind.

It checked to Wu who bet 55,000 and Awad check-raised to 185,000. Kolman and Seymour got out of the way and Wu also folded his top pair.

Guerin Flops Set To Eliminate Opponent

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up when a player in middle position slid out 305,000, leaving only 20,000 behind. Sasha Guerin made the call next to act and the rest of the table got out of the way.

The dealer fanned out a flop of KQ7 and the middle position player checked to Guerin who put in enough chips to cover the opponents remaining stack.

The middle position player went deep in the tank to sweat the upcoming pay jump, but after over a minute, the table called the clock and the floor was called over. As the 30 second clock ticked down, the middle position player put in their remaining chips and the cards were on their backs.

Middle Position: AK
Sasha Guerin: QQ

Both players flopped the world, but Guerin was well in the lead with his set of queens. The board ran out 7J and the queens held up to score the pot for Guerin and send his opponent to the rail.

Halverson Has the Goods in a Huge Pot

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mitchell Halverson
Mitchell Halverson

The hand was heads up with the pot stood at 610,000. The full board had been dealt 7KQ9A and the action was on Mitchell Halverson in the big blind, who slid out a bet out 760,000; more than enough to put his opponent all in.

Faced with a decision for their tournament life, the player in early position thought over the decision for a considerable amount of time. A crowd had started to amass, eager to see the conclusion of the hand. They eventually made the call and Halverson instantly tabled J10 for the nuts. His opponent tabled KQ for an inferior two-pair.

Halverson claimed another tournament life and a huge pot in the process.

Eychenne Loses A Big Flip

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

From the hijack, Thomas Eychenne opened to 25,000. Then on the button, Kostantinos Papanikos three-bet to 95,000.

Action back to Eychenne, the Frenchman four-bet all in for 484,000 chips. Not that happy, Papanikos called, with a slightly smaller stack of 421,000 chips.

Kostantinos Papanikos: QQ
Thomas Eychenne: AK

The coin landed on Papanikos' side, as Eychenne couldn't find an ace or a king on 57497. While Papanikos doubled his stack to 874,000 chips, Eychenne is back to the starting stack of the Main Event.
