Ramon Colillas was back in the mix after the dinner break after busting his first bullet earlier on in the day. He had below the starting stack and had raise-folded to Bert Steven's small blind shove the hand before.

The following hand, Ryan Dansie raised to 2,500 from middle position and Ramon Colillas moved all in for 18,300 from the next seat across. Dansie took a moment and then made the call and players flipped their cards, with Colillas at risk.

Ryan Dansie: A4
Ramon Colillas: AK

The board ran out 2QJ85. Neither player improved and so Colillas held with his ace king high to win the pot and double up his stack.

Montoya Calls Bluff to Bust Nguyen

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ivan Tevar Montoya raised to 500 from under the gun and picked up two callers before Viet Anh Nguyen three-bet to 2,000. Montoya called and so did one other player.

The flop came 267. Action checked to Nguyen, who made it 4,000 to go. Only Montoya made the call. The turn was the 8. Montoya checked and Nguyen pushed all in for 8,300, less than a pot sized bet.

Montoya went into the tank before making the call. Nguyen had J10 for a bluff with a backdoor straight draw. Montoya turned over 64 for a pair of sixes and also had backdoor outs.

The river came the 5, which completed Montoya's straight. He won the pot and Nguyen was eliminated.
