Hizer Gets Short; Doubles

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Paul Hizer raised to 130,000 and Pascal Pflock three-bet all in for 910,000, which ended the hand right there.

Hizer defended the big blind against a min-raise by Tom Hall on the button and check-folded the {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop to a bet of 105,000.

The very next hand, Hall raised enough to give all his opponents the chance to call all in or fold. Hizer called for the last 790,000 in the small blind and the cards were turned over.

Paul Hizer: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Tom Hall: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Hizer secured the double on the turn, Hall remained in a commanding lead.

Hall Takes One From Cimbolas

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Matas Cimbolas limped the small blind and Tom Hall raised it up to 200,000 in the big blind, Cimbolas came along. The {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and the {8-Hearts} turn brought no betting action. Cimbolas checked the {J-Clubs} river and a bet of 140,000 did the trick for Hall, who flashed a deuce before raking in the pot.

Hizer Flips Well Against Pflock

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pascal Pflock min-raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and Paul Hizer moved all in for 625,000 on the button. Pflock asked for a count and made the call.

Paul Hizer: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Pascal Pflock: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

"It is not queen jack," Matas Cimbolas joked and Pflock nodded. The {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop gave Pflock further outs and Hizer had a big sweat on the {3-Diamonds} turn, as Pflock also picked up the nutflushdraw. However, the {A-Spades} river was a blank and Hizer doubled back into contention.

Pflock Jams Twice

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the new level, Hall raised twice and Pascal Pflock jammed as many times. In the second hand, Pflock was at risk for 1,255,000 and Paul Hizer asked for a count in the big blind. Hizer shook his head and folded, as did Hall.
