Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With about 50,000 in the middle, Timothy Adams was faced with an all-in bet of 40,000 from Kayhan Mokri on the completed board of 109658.

Adams tanked for about 20 seconds before making the call. Mokri rolled his AK over as he stepped out of his seat, and Adams scored the elimination with a flopped set of sixes with the 66.

Seidel Drags One

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sergio Agüero opened 3,500 under the gun, and both Erik Seidel on the button and Felipe Ketzer in the big blind came along.

The dealer fanned a flop of KKJ, and Ketzer check-folded to the bet of 3,000 from Agüero, while Seidel made the call.

The 3 turn received checks from both players and the K completed the board.

Agüero pushed a bet of 5,000 across the line and Seidel quickly called. Agüero tabled A10 for ace-high before being shown the full house of Seidel as he tabled J8.

The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.

Readers might remember hearing about the race car tearing through the Wynn Las Vegas last November. It appears that was part of the production for Red Bull's epic race through Las Vegas.

Check out the video here!

"Bon Appetit"

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel opened 3,000 under the gun and Niklas Astedt three-bet 8,000 next to act. The action quickly folded back around to Thorel as he made the call.

When the 764 flop hit the felt, Thorel checked to Astedt who continued for 6,000. Thorel wasted no time tossing four gray chips across the line for a raise of 20,000.

Astedt snap-folded as he said with a laugh, "Bon Appetit."

Jean-Noel Thorel raised 3,500 in the hijack, and Niklas Astedt called in the cutoff before Timothy Adams three-bet 15,000 on the button. Thorel got out of the way, and Astedt made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of K32, and Astedt check-called a continuation bet of 9,500.

The 7 fell on the turn, and once checked to, Adams continued for another bet of 17,000. Astedt made the call.

When the A completed the board, both players knuckled the table. Astedt tabled 88, which was no good as Adams showed QQ.
