Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joseph Hernon started the action with a raise to 2,500, receiving a call from Haci Bayram. However, Tom Orpaz had bigger plans and shoved all in. Hernon opted out, folding his hand, but Bayram called, setting up a showdown.

Tom Orpaz: K?10?All in
Haci Bayram: 6?6?

Orpaz needed to connect with the board to overcome Bayram's pocket sixes, but the flop came 9?2?6?, giving Bayram a set. The 7? on the turn offered Orpaz a sliver of hope.

��Eight!�� he shouted, but the river brought the 7?, sealing his fate and sending him to the rail.

Chiforescu Bluff-Shoves the River

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of J?7?5?, there was already 6,000 in the pot when Adrian Chiforescu bet 5,400, which Karim Radani called.

A 5? fell on the turn which both players checked to see the 7? hit the river. On the double-paired board, Radani checked and Chiforesu shoved for 11,400. After he asked for a count, Radani thought it over before he made the call.

"Good call," remarked Chiforescu before he tabled 3?3? and was playing the board.

Radani then showed J?10? for a pair of jacks and claimed the pot, which eliminated Chiforescu.

Fortune Favors Fortuna as Fan Falls Short

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 41,000 in the pot, Longmao Fan went all in on the 7?5?7? flop. Sylwester Fortuna quickly checked his cards and made the call.

Longmao Fan: A?K?All in
Sylwester Fortuna: K?J?

Fortuna needed just one more diamond to take the lead, and his wish was granted when the turn revealed the 2?. Now, it was Fan's turn to hope for a higher flush on the river, but luck wasn't on his side as the dealer revealed the 7?, sealing the hand for Fortuna.
