Over on the feature table, Konstantinos Mamaliadis raised to 90,000 before Michael DeGilio re-raised to 260,000. Mamaliadis called, then called DeGilio's bet of 160,000 after the flop of {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} .

DeGilio then checked the turn of the {K-Hearts} and Mamaliadis opened for 385,000 before DeGilio check-shoved all-in. Mamaliadis snap-called.

Mamaliadis: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
DeGilio: {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

DeGilio had spiked two pair, but Mamaliadis was well out in front with his trip kings, which held after the {3-Spades} blanked out on the river. DeGilio is now no longer with us, but Mamaliadis is now up to more than 5.7 million!

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Here's an interesting one primarily involving Per Linde and Guy Gorelik.

The hand began with Sam Barnhart raising to 85,000 from the cutoff seat, then Linde called from the button. Next to act, Gorelik reraised to 285,000 from the small blind, forcing out the big blind. Both Barnhart and Linde called the reraise.

The flop came {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} , and Gorelik led with a bet of 465,000. Barnhart got out, but Linde raised to 1 million from the button. Gorelik went deep into the tank, then finally emerged to fold his hand face up -- {K-} {K-} .

As he collected the chips, Linde seized the opportunity to show one of his hole cards -- the {10-Clubs} !

Gorelick now has about 1.6 million, while Linde pushes up to 4.7 million.

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We were just reporting a hand a short while ago in which Nelson Robinson picked up pocket aces, then lost a big pot versus Frank Sinopoli who had pocket kings and caught a king on the river. Well, Robinson had his chance to try his luck again with hold'em's premium hand.

In this one Hoi Le opened from middle position for 95,000, Ahtoh Makilevskyi called from late position, then Robinson reraised to 300,000 from the big blind. Le then made it 900,000 to go, forcing a fold from Makilevskyi. Robinson shoved all in, and Le called, putting himself all in for 2.15 million total.

Robinson: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}
Le: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Aces versus kings again! And this time things worked out better for Robinson, as the board went {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} , sending Le to the rail and pushing Robinson's stack up to 4.55 million.

From under the gun, Jacob Bazeley raised to 90,000. In middle position, Sam Barnhart made the call and then Chris Moore also called from the button. Mario Silvestri three-bet from the big blind to 285,000 and Bazeley got out of the way. Barnhart called and Moore folded.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and Silvestri fired 250,00 from his 1.235-million chip stack that remained. Barnhart folded easily and Silvestri won the pot.

The Great Heinz Heist

Pius Heinz - has plenty of beans to keep him going!

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team has very little access to the secondary feature table, so our reporter had to squeeze through the six-deep rail to the viewing screen for this massive three-way all-in pre-flop situation between Pius Heinz, Sebastian Ruthenberg and Jared Vengrin.

We got there just in time to see the cards being tabled:

Heinz: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Vengrin: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Ruthenberg: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

Ruthenberg took away Heinz' other queens for the gut-shot Broadway draw after the flop of {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds} , but the turn and river ran out {3-Clubs} , {8-Spades} and after the chips were cut down, Ruthenberg was left with around two million, but Vengrin had none.

With that virtual triple-up, Heinz is now sitting on a stack worth more than eight million!

Pius Heinz	8,000,000 5,215,000	5,215,000

Darcourt Takes Exception

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Matt Giannetti opened the pot with a raise from early position, and Guillaume Darcourt called a few seats over, the two men going heads-up to the flop. Only one of them has pink hair.

The dealer spread out {3-Hearts} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} , and Giannetti continued out with 110,000. Darcourt stacked together a raise, and he made it 280,000 to go. It was at this point that the ESPN cameras started to encircle the table, and no less than nine production personnel crowded themselves into the elbow space around the players. We found a little window to peek through just in time to catch Giannetti reraising to 610,000 with the addition of a tower of green chips to his bet. That sent Darcourt deep into the tank, and it was a long while before he uncapped his cards and slid them back to the dealer.

"Hold onto those cards," came the call from the producer, and the dealer froze. The little roving hole-card cam was brought over to Giannetti, and he gave the cameras a peek at what he was playing. Now it was Darcourt's turn, but he instead grabbed his cards and shoved them halfway into the muck. "Don't muck those cards!" the producer insisted, and the dealer pulled them back out of the deck. Darcourt told them that he was refusing to show, and it was the beginning of a long delay as nobody knew quite what to do about it. The production supervisor was called over, and he didn't seem to have the answer either. It took the addition of at least three floor men to the conversation before it was decided that Darcourt would have to show.

"It's in the contract you signed," one of them gave a stern warning.

"Show me!" Darcourt insisted. "Show me the paper I signed!"

"If you don't show your cards, I'm going to give you a penalty."

"Fine! I'll take a penalty!"

At one point, they even asked the dealer to show the camera the cards, but when he tried, Darcourt snatched his cards back and covered them with his hands.

There was a several-minute standoff before the staff was finally able to calm Darcourt down enough to give in. Once he found out it wasn't streaming live, he angrily (and very briefly) flashed his cards to the camera, shoved them back into the muck, and stormed off for a cigarette.

He's still got about 4.65 million chips to come back to, and he'll have to find a way to shake off the frustration now with so much on the line.

Grey Knocks Out Mintz

Nível 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Wouldn't it be fun to say, just once, "I raise… to one million"? Or more? It's happening all around us at the moment.

Tom Grey opened with a standard raise to 90,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Ben Mintz in the small blind who reraised all in for 1.21 million (!). The big blind stepped aside, and after tanking a bit Grey called the huge shove.

Mintz showed {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and Grey {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} . The flop came {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} , giving Grey a set. The {2-Hearts} on the turn improved Grey to a full house but also gave Mintz outs to survive. But the river was the {4-Clubs} and Mintz is out.

Grey is now up around 4 million.

Follain Falling

[user153638]

Action folded to Bryan Follain in the cutoff and he raised to 90,000. Tom Koral was next to act on the button and he was the only player to make the call. When the flop came down {2-Spades} {@d} {3-Diamonds} , Follain checked, Koral bet 130,000, Follain check-raised to 260,000, and Koral called.

Both players proceeded to check the {8-Hearts} turn, leading to the {7-Diamonds} river. Follain wasted little time in betting 330,000, Koral called, and the bettor showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for ace-queen high. Koral rolled over {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for a flush and the win.

Bryan Follain	4,850,000 -1,000,000	-1,000,000
