Filippi: {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs}

Baumann Doubles Through Balkin

David Balkin raised to 225,000 from middle position and was called by Gaelle Baumann from the cutoff and Erik Hellman from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} and Hellman checked. Balkin fired 425,000 and Baumann called. Hellman got out of the way and the two were heads up to the turn.

The dealer flipped up a {7-Hearts} on the turn and Balkin pushed 1,000,000 into the middle. Baumann tanked before calling. The {4-Hearts} rivered and Balkin moved all in. Baumann snap called and Balkin turned up {10-} {10-} for a set of tens.

Baumann showed {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} and Balkin started celebrating, thinking Baumann merely had a pair of aces, not realizing that she had the nut flush. Baumann was able to scoop the pot, however, and she's now sitting atop 4,250,000 in chips while Balkin has been crippled to around 1,100,000.

Jean Malherbe Eliminated in 48th Place ($156,293)

Jean Malherbe opened for 160,000 under the gun and received a call from Greg Merson. Russell Thomas came along for the ride, as did Jacob Balsiger in the big blind, and it was four-way action to the {2-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} flop.

Balsiger was first to act and checked, opening the door for Malherbe to bet 280,000. Merson was the only player to make the call, and it was heads-up to the {7-Hearts} turn. This time Malherbe slowed down with a check, but check-raised all in for 1.155 million after Merson had bet 425,000. The latter made the call and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Malherbe: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Merson: {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Malherbe was ahead with his pair of aces, but he needed to dodge the straight and flush draws of Merson. The dealer burned and revealed the {7-Clubs} . Malherbe just looked up at the ceiling upon discovering Merson had made his flush. He then walked around the table, shook hands with the victor, and exited through the ESPN walkway on the way to the payout desk in 48th place.

Three Kings for Ausmus

[user68268]

From under the gun, Jeremy Ausmus raised to 125,000. Gwennael Grandmougin called from the next seat and Yuval Bronshtein called from the hijack seat. Percy Mahatan reraised from the big blind to 500,000 and only Ausmus called to see the flop.

The heads-up flop brought the {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Spades} and Mahatan tried to bet one million, but did so with a string bet and it was ruled that he was only allowed to bet 500,000. Ausmus called.

The turn card was the {8-Hearts} and Mahatan bet one million. Ausmus called and then the river completed the board with the {3-Spades} . Mahatan checked and Ausmus fired 1.6 million. Mahatan tanked, then called.

Ausmus tabled the {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} for top set and Mahatan mucked. Ausmus was pushed the large pot and moved his stack to over nine million. Mahatan dropped back to 2.7 million.

Wong Scores Huge Double Through Maag

We got the table in time to see the players turn their hands over after an all in and a call so we do not know the amounts of the raises. We do know that Danny Wong raised from the button and Nicco Maag three-bet from the small blind.

Wong four-bet and Maag announced a five-bet all in. Wong snap called with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} and was crushing Maag's {j-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} .

The board fell {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and Wong never lifted his head from the table for the entire deal. Once the river struck, Maag tapped the table and Wong lifted his head, a gleeful expression on his face. Wong is now among the chip leaders with 7,700,000 in chips while Maag has suffered a huge hit, his stack at 4,530,000.

Another Mistake for Koroknai Results In One-Round Penalty

[user68268]

From under the gun, Andras Koroknai raised to an unknown amount and Fabrizio Gonzalez reraised from the next seat to 305,000. Play folded back to Koroknai and he moved all in for approximately 2.4 million. According to Paul Volpe, Gonzalez asked for a count, but Koroknai thought he said call and turned his hand over to reveal the {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} . The floor was called and it was ruled that Koroknai would be given a one-round penalty. Gonzalez folded his hand.

This is the second big mistake Koroknai has made deep in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event. Yesterday, he missed action in front of him and moved all in when he didn't see Gaelle Baumann raise before mucking his hand before she had acted. No penalty was given then. This time around, he'll have to sit out for the next orbit.

Maag on the Move

[user38338]

Nicco Maag arrived a little late today, but once he got here he continued to add to his stack gradually through the first two levels. He just grabbed an extra chunk of chips here at the start of Level 27 to push up close to the 8 million-chip mark and into the chip lead.

After Danny Wong opened from middle position, Magg called from a seat over, and Robert Corcione called from the big blind, the pot was about 400,000 when the flop came {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} . Corcione checked, Wong made a continuation bet, and both of his opponents called. By then the pot size was about 1 million.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} . Corcione checked, and Wong fired a bet of 700,000. Maag then raised to 2 million even. After some thought, Corcione pushed his hand away, and eventually Wong did as well.

Jason Somerville Eliminated in 69th Place ($106,056)

Jason Somerville got lucky not long ago when his nines cracked Eric Buchman's tens in an all-in preflop situation, but it seemed lady luck has turned her back. In a recent hand, Somerville raised to 105,000 from middle position only to have Jacob Balsiger move all in from the big blind. Somerville quickly called off for 840,000 and was a big favorite.

Showdown
Somerville: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Balsiger: {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Unfortunately for Somerville, the flop came down {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} and gave Balsiger trips. Somerville needed a queen to stay alive, but it was not to be as the {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn followed by the {8-Spades} on the river.

Somerville, who finished in 69th place for $106,056, did a quick exit interview with Kara Scott in which he was humble, gracious and reiterated that he had a great time.

Buckenmayer Wins 6MM-Chip Pot

[user68268]

From under the gun, Russell Thomas raised to 100,000. Play folded to Robert Buckenmayer in the hijack seat and he reraised to 235,000. Things then moved to David Kluchman in the small blind and he reraised to 400,000. Action folded back to Buckenmayer and he made a mistake of thinking he only had to call 65,000 more, not 165,000. He tossed in the 65,000, but the dealer instructed him that he needed to call 100,000 more. He did so and the flop came down {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} .

On the flop, Kluchman led for 500,000 and Buckenmayer made the call to see the {6-Spades} pair the board on the turn. Kluchman checked and Buckenmayer took a minute before checking behind.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Kluchman moved all in. Buckenmayer snap-called with turned over the {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} for top full house. Kluchman couldn't believe it.

"Ship it," said Buckenmayer sternly as he stood from his chair.

"Sir, don't say that, it's not nice," commented Amnon Filippi from Seat 9. Buckenmayer sat back down.

Buckenmayer's stack was counted down and he was all in for 1.995 million on the river, creating a massive pot of nearly six million and sending it his way. Kluchman was knocked all the way down to 490,000.

Vanessa Selbst Eliminated in 73rd Place ($88,070)

Action folded around to Vanessa Selbst, who became the first woman to win a bracelet in an open event since she did it in 2008 (she won Event 52: $2,500 10-Game Mix - Six-Handed earlier this summer), and she moved all in for 750,000 from the button. The small blind got out of the way, but Greg Merson made the call from the big blind.

Showdown
Selbst: {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Merson: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

According to our PokerNews Odds Calculator, Selbst had a 33.71% chance of winning the hand, but that improved to 45.35% when the flop came down {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {10-Spades} and gave her a pair. While she was currently out in front, Merson's overs and flush draw made him the favorite in the hand.

The {6-Hearts} turn gave Merson an added gut-shot straight draw, but his chances of winning did drop to 40.90% with one card to come. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {9-Diamonds} . It was a dagger through Selbst's heart as Merson made his straight and put an end to her deep run in 73rd place, good for $88,070.
