Wang Doubles Through Kopp

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Wang opened preflop action by raising to 140,000 under the gun. Action folded around to William Kopp, who defended his big blind.

The flop came 7?J?6?, and Kopp checked. Wang moved all in for 255,000, and was instantly called by Kopp.

David Wang: K?Q?Q?5?
William Kopp: J?J?9?5?

Kopp was far ahead with his flopped set. The 10? brought Wang an open-ended straight draw, which then arrived when the A? hit the river. Wang's Broadway gave him the pot and kept his championship hopes alive.

Galland Scores a Large Double Through Garza

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action over on table 672 started with a five-way limped pot to the K?7?4? flop on which it checked all the way to Ap Garza on the button, who was last to act. Garza bet 80,000 and earned a check-call only from Benoit Galland in the cutoff.

On the A? turn, Galland checked and Garza bet 300,000. What followed was the check-raise to 1,000,000 by Galland and the Canadian snap-called when Garza pushed all-in.

Benoit Galland: A?A?7?6?
Ap Garza: 7?7?6?3?

The inferior set of Garza still had plenty of outs with a gutshot and flush draw. However, the 4? river paired the board and Galland doubled for 1,375,000.

Capitan Pushes Out Halatenko

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Stanislav Halatenko raised from under the gun to 100,000 and Bogdan Capitan called out of the big blind.

On a flop of 6?3?K? Capitan checked the action to Halatenko who bet out for 150,000. Capitan responded with a check-raise to the size of the pot. A bet of 710,000 was effectively an all-in for Capitan, enough to send Halatenko's cards to the muck.

Galland Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Todd Ivens raised to 70,000 in the cutoff for Benoit Galland to call out of the button. The K?Q?9? flop was checked and that brought them to the 10? turn. Ivens bet 150,000 and earned a reluctant call from his table neighbour.

On the 10? river, Ivens checked and Galland bet 325,000 to force a fold.
