OMG I check back and both of them is top 5 again, sick sick, Liquidpoker heads up gogogo

After a series of pre flop raises, Evan McNiff is all in for 813,000 with Ace-Queen against the pocket Kings of Nick Schulman. An ace hits on the flop and Schulman can not catch up. McNiff doubles up to 1,650,000. As he was stacking his chips, McNiff leaned over to media personnel standing by him and called himself "a donkey."

Action folds around to Benjamin Straate in the small blind who raises to 60,000. Steve Landfish makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes K87 and Straate leads out for 100,000. Landfish pops him for another 150,000 and Straate makes the call.

The turn is the J and Straate slows things down and checks. However, Landfish is looking to play a big pot and puts in 300,000. Straate calls.

The river is the A. Straate checks again and Landfish bets only 250,000 into this 1.2 million chip pot.

With the board reading K87JA Straate moves all in. Landfish gives up his hand quickly and Straate takes the huge pot.

After the hand Landfish is down to 480,000 while Straate takes the chip lead with over 2,000,000.

ACE IN YO FACE!!!!

An unknown player steals the blinds in Hand #32,


LOL WAT

Hand #39: Steve Sung raises from middle position to 80,000, and Evan McNiff calls from the cutoff. The flop comes 443, Sung checks, McNiff bets 100,000, Sung raises to 250,000, and McNiff calls.

The turn card is the 2, Sung bets 400,000, and McNiff moves all in, covering Sung. Steve Sung goes into the tank for a very long time (guesstimates put it around ten minutes), extending into the break.

Steve Sung is talking during part of the time. He asks McNiff why he appears so nervous. McNiff doesn't respond. (We have video of this hand, so you can witness it yourself.) Steve Sung starts theorizing what possible hands McNiff could be holding, starting out with a straight or a bluff, but expanding the range as he continues to talk.

Eventually, McNiff calls the clock, and the countdown gets to about 30 seconds before Steve Sung folds. Sung is so frustrated that when he gets up quickly, his chair knocks over to the floor.

Evan McNiff takes the pot, building his chipleading stack to about 3.8 million.

He's playing for 1.5 million $, and if there's even a remote chance Sung know what he had at this time while they both play for the title then well, he should keep it for him until it's over imo. You'd probably do the same.

Yeah, the blind stealing ninjas have become more aggro preflop lately. Nevertheless, GL FrinkX!

lol he's crushing pretty hard

Evan McNiff raises from the button to 250,000, Amnon Filippi moves all in from the big blind for about 1.3 million, and McNiff calls with A5. Filippi shows AJ, and he's a dominant favorite to double up here.

The flop comes A76, and both players flop a pair of aces, but Filippi still leads with his jack kicker. The turn card is the 10, and McNiff needs a five on the river to bust Filippi here.

The river card is the 6, and Amnon Filippi wins the pot with two pair, aces and sixes, with his jack kicker. Filippi doubles up to about 2.7 million in chips. Hand #44 - Steve Sung has the button in seat 4, and the blinds are at 40,000-80,000 (10,000 ante).

Steve Sung raises from the button to 210,000, Justin Young reraises from the small blind to 660,000, and Evan McNiff reraises from the big blind to 1,390,000. Sung immediately folds, and Young tanks for about two minutes before he calls. There is already a little more than 3 million in the pot.

The flop comes 965, Young quickly checks, and McNiff checks behind. The turn card pairs the board with the 9, Young bets 1.35 million, and McNiff thinks for about four minutes before he folds. Justin Young picks up a big pot.

A few people chant, "Show! Show! Show!" and Justin Young acquiesces, showing 1010 for an overpair.

they held!? WTF?

edit: they misprinted hand 59, it's Justin Young with the double KO.
