Three ways to the K♥9♦3♥2♥ turn, Jay Kerbel bet in the small blind and was called by Kyle Cartwright in the big blind while Christopher Stephan also stuck around.

"Nice catch ... I had ace, deuce, four, five," Stephan mentioned in the table chat.

"I had the best hand, two pair," Cartwright joked back.

Stephan Three-Quarters Yass

Niveau 18 : Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Christopher Stephan raised from the small blind and Robert Yass called from the big blind.

The two players took a flop heads-up of A♣K♣8♦ and Yass check-called a bet from Stephan. The dealer peeled 2♦ on turn and things became a little more interesting, as this time Yass raised a bet from Stephan, which Stephan called.

Both players would check the 9♠ river and Stephan tabled A♠6♥5♠3♥ for a pair of aces and fifty-three low, and Yass showed 9♣5♦5♥3♦ for a pair of nines and the same fifty-three low, giving away three-quarters of the pot to Stephan.

zedmaster84

Niveau 18 : Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Three way action saw Sam Farha, start-of-the-day chip leader Jay Kerbel and Damjan Radanov involved in the action with Farha as the aggressor, betting each street of the A♣J♣5♥K♦3♠ board. Radanov ended up all-in with his short stack while Kerbel folded on the river to another bet by Farha.

"You got nut nut?" Radanov inquired and Farha indeed rolled over the Q♥10♦4♦2♥ for broadway and the nut low. Radanov sighed, double-checked his cards once more and then tossed them into the muck.

"I got fucked," he grinned while checking the payouts as he bowed out on a pay jump in 21st place for $17,923.
