Picking action up on sixth street with approximately 100,000 in the pot already, David Prager checked to Phil Ivey who bet. Prager called, and Ben Diebold and Kevin Gerhart who were also in the pot folded.

Heads-up to seventh street, Prager checked to Ivey again, who continued not to be afraid of Prager's double-paired board as he bet again.

Niveau 15

Brandon Cantu: //
Ben Diebold: //

Brandon Cantu was all in on third street for his short stack against Ben Diebold. They waited to run the cards as it was hand-for-hand play with a big pot brewing on the adjacent table between Jean Gaspard and Randy Ohel, which Gaspard ended up winning with sixes full.

The cards were then dealt with Cantu starting out ahead with a pair of tens. Diebold hit the case ten on fourth street and then got two pair on sixth to leave Canto drawing dead before the river as he angrily chucked his river card into the air as he was the bubble boy.

Niveau 13

Brian Lieberman: /
Yueqi Zhu: /
Yehuda Buchalter: /

Action was picked up on sixth street where Yehuda Buchalter bet, Brian Lieberman called with four to a straight flush showing and Yueqi Zhu came along also.

Zhu checked seventh street, Buchalter bet 12,000. Lieberman raised to 24,000 which got Zhu to stand up and go into the tank. He thought it out for quite some time while standing before sitting and throwing in the chips in a manner that looked like a painful and reluctant call. Buchalter got out of the way.

"Got the straight flush?" asked Zhu.

"Yep," said Lieberman and tabled the for the straight flush.

Zhu tossed over his own ace-high flush and voiced his frustration. "I can never get a break!" he said as he shook his head and explained his reasoning for calling.

Buchalter claimed that he had folded a king-high flush to put the cherry on top of the crazy hand, where all three players had flushes by fifth street.

Cantu On Right Side of Another Cooler

Niveau 12
