Sagra Saved by the River

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

With roughly 150,000 in the pot, Ignacio Sagra, Joao Simao and Ryan Riess were looking at a board of 853.

Sagra checked from the small blind, which prompted Simao to place a bet of 40,000. Riess then responded with a raise to 120,000, before seeing Sagra check-raise all-in for 310,000. Simao got out of the way, and Riess went into the tank. After taking some time to think the hand through, Riess made the call.

Ignacio Sagra: J10 All in
Ryan Riess: A9

Riess had made the hero-call with just ace-high and was correct, but there were several cards he needed to avoid.

The turn 6 kept Riess in the lead, and gave him a flush draw of his own, but the river J was just what Sagra was looking for, his top pair giving him the best hand.

Sagra's stack was double-checked before the dealer pushed the huge double-up in his direction.

Mccoy Takes One to Wiener

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Melvin Wiener raised to 40,000 in middle position and only got called by Pat Mccoy in the big blind.

Both players checked all the way through the Q376 runout and a 9 hit the river. After a last check from Mccoy, Wiener bet 20,000 and Mccoy called. Wiener tabled 64 for a pair of sixes but Mccoy revealed J9 for the nines and took down the pot.

Rough Runout for Peterson

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicholas Peterson got his 330,000 stack in preflop, and was way out in the lead as Gregory Pearson made the call.

Nicholas Peterson: KK All in
Gregory Pearson: AK

The flop was a brutal one, as it came down JA9 leaving Peterson drawing to just a single out. He couldn't find it on the J8 runout, as Pearson dragged in the pot.

Fournier Takes Wilson's Stack

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Gregory Fournier raised to 30,000 before calling the shove from Karle Wilson seated in the big blind for around 110,000:

Karle Wilson: QQ All in
Gregory Fournier: A10

Wilson had good hopes for a double as the flop first fell 748 but a A hit the turn and he got eliminated after the 7 completed the board.

Moniz Spikes the Turn

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jinju Wu moved all in for 75,000, and only Lori Moniz in the cutoff called.

Jinju Wu: A10 All in
Lori Moniz: KQ

The flop 839 kept Wu in the lead, but the turn Q saw Moniz move ahead.

The river 6 was unable to save Wu, who vacated his seat and headed to the cash desk.
