Mini-Photo Blog: Level 15

Lisa Yap (left) was the mid-day chipleader when she played this hand to the river against Michael Benvenuti (right). Yap check-called the flop and turn, and folded to Benvenuti’s river bet on a board of [Qs6s3cJh9d]. Benvenuti asked, "Did you have spades?" Yap replied, "Yeah, ace high."

With the board showing [Jh8h5sAd] on the turn, Rusty Moorer (foreground right) check-raises all in against Chad Brown (foreground left). Brown asked if Moorer had ace-king, and then folded his own [AsKs] face up. Moorer said nothing as he pulled in the pot.

Ryan Hughes was the first player to cross the 500,000-chip mark, and it was clearly evident by the size of his chip stack.

Kyle Bowker (right) was short-stacked and all in preflop with [AcQh] against the [QcQs] of Hoyt Corkins (center). The board came [9h8d3d10d4d], and since neither player had a diamond, Corkins took the pot with his pocket queens to eliminate Bowker from the tournament.

With the board showing [8c8d7d3c] on the turn and about 90,000 already in the pot, Leif Force (right) moved all in for 70,800 more. Vitor Coelho (left) tanked for a long time before he folded.
