Shai Arbel Has the Superior Flush

Level 11: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500
Shai Arbel

The evening is winding down with fewer than 160 players remaining, the field for an above average stack continues. Shai Arbel check-raises a bet of Emmanuel Segismundo on the Q J 9 flop from 6,500 to 15,000.


Arbel then leads the 4 turn for Segismundo to call again and they check the 8 river when the fourth spade arrives. Segismundo shakes his head, Arbel tables J 6 and Segismundo mucks while partly exposing the five of spades.

Somasekhar Sanampuri Eliminated by Emmanuel Segismundo

Level 9: 1,000 / 1,500 ante: 1,500
Emmanuel Segismundo

With the board showing 9 8 8 6 on the turn, Somasekhar Sanampuri gets it all in under the gun for about 40,000 with T 7 for a ten-high straight, but he is drawing dead to the 9 8 (full house) of Emmanuel Segismundo in the cutoff.


The meaningless river card is the T , and Segismundo wins the pot with his full house to eliminate Sanampuri.
