Yuliyan Kolev: 9♦9♠

Wong was in rough shape and could find no help on the 2♥7♦5♦A♥Q♥ runout to send him to the rail short of the money.

Owen Can't Believe Leonard Folded Aces

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

PokerNews caught the action heads up on a river reading 6♦8♦4♦3♥8♣ and Brad Owen had placed a bet of 60,000 which was just under the size of the pot.

Patrick Leonard spent some time weighing his decision before saying, "Just don't show me a bluff", wagging a finger with one hand and mucking with the other.

Owen kindly showed the 5♥2♥ for the turned straight.

Owen implored what Leonard had folded and the latter gestured to his neighbor, who had supposedly seen his hand, and both told him that he folded aces.

"With the ace of diamonds?"

"No," replied Leonard.

"How do you fold after you check back the turn? Nice fold."

Wantman Doubles Through Shimizu

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matthew Wantman opened to 12,000 from early position and received a call from a player in middle position. Nozomu Shimizu three-bet to 38,000 from the cutoff and Wantman moved all in for approximately 91,000. The middle position player got out of the way and Shimizu called with a covering stack to put Wantman at risk.

Matthew Wantman: A♠K♦
Nozomu Shimizu: Q♣J♥

Wantman was ahead with ace-king and remained so on the 2♠A♥Q♦K♥4♣ run out to secure a full double-up while making a serious dent in Shimizu's stack.

Ventura Gets the Maximum

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Diego Ventura on the button was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind.

With the board reading 10♦3♦6♥4♠Q♣ the big blind checked and Ventura moved all in with the covering stack. That sent his opponent deep into the tank as he mulled over his decision for several minutes.

Eventually a player not involved in the hand called the clock and the big blind was given thirty seconds to act. He did end up making the call as time expired with 6♣5♣ but it turned out to be a hero call gone wrong as Ventura held 6♦6♠ for the set to take down the pot and send his opponent out of the tournament.

Leonard Almost Eliminates Opponent

Livello 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Patrick Leonard in the cutoff was involved in a hand with a player on the button. With the board reading 3♣4♠10♥2♦ Leonard checked and then called after his opponent bet 40,000.

Leonard checked once more on the 2♥ river. The button player moved almost their entire stack into the middle, leaving themselves 1,000 behind. Leonard responded by placing a stack of chips greater than the value of his opponent's bet into the pot. However, after the exact amount of the bet was counted, it was deemed an illegal raise and therefore was changed to a call. The button player turned over K♥10♠ but it was no good as Leonard held 6♣5♣ for the straight to scoop the pot and all but felt the button player.
