"It'll Take a Miracle to Win this One"

Nível 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

After the player on the button moved all in for 2,150 from the button, a short-stacked Antonio Esfandiari called from the big blind.

Esfandiari:
Button:

Esfandiari's kicker issues failed to get resolved as the board ran out and he was left with just 450 after the hand.

In the very next hand, the player in the cutoff limped and Colm Galloway raised to 475 from the button. Esfandiari called off, the big blind called, and the limper came along as well.

"It'll take a miracle to win this one," Esfandiari said as he stood from his chair. Two checks on the flop saw Galloway bet 1,100, and the other two players folded.

Galloway:
Esfandiari:

Esfandiari was thrilled to see he was drawing as good as he was, but it was all for naught as the blanked on the turn followed by the river. Esfandiari sent his Terminator chip over to Galloway, but he had one other from an earlier knock out, meaning he'll get $500 back.

Sound the Alam for the Terminator

Nível 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Action folded to Fred Alam on the button and he splashed in his stack of 2,575. Vanessa Rousso then three-bet from the small blind, which inspired the player in the big to fold.

Rousso:
Alam:

Both players shared a five, but Alam's kicker made him the big favorite. The flop failed to improve either player, while the turn gave Rousso a gutshot straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Alam didn't need it, but he paired his queen and was shipped the double.

In a three-bet preflop pot, Scott Davies got his stack all in on a flop holding a flush draw with the . He needed to hit either that or an ace to stay alive as his opponent held an overpair with the .
