Chavez Bets the Same Amount

Connor Richards

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jeremy Pekarek was in a heads-up pot against Fred Chavez on a flop of 3♣J♣10♥.

Pekarek checked dark on the flop and Chavez bet 57,000. Pekarek called. Pekarek checked dark again on the 8♥ turn and Chavez bet the same 57,000. Pekarek again called.

Pekarek waited to see the K♦ river before checking for a final time. Chavez once again bet 57,000 and Pekarek groaned about a club not falling before mucking in defeat.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Michael Miller got his last 150,000 or so all in preflop and was looking to get lucky against Dominic Choma.

Dominic Choma: Q♥Q♦
Michael Miller: A♥J♦

The 10♥7♦A♠ flop was kind to Miller as he paired his ace to take the lead. Unfortunately for him, it was only temporary as the dealer burned and turned the Q♣ to give Choma a set. The 9♥ river was a brick and Miller exited in 62nd place for $4,540.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sami Bechahed raised to 24,000 from middle position and got called by Aaron Massey in the big blind before seeing the flop come A♣4♠4♥.

Massey checked over to Bechahed who continued with a bet of 12,000. Massey, not yet done with the hand, decided to put in a check-raise to 27,000. Bechahed didn't waste much time before making the call to bring the 8♥ out on the turn.

Massey took the lead on this street and put together a bet of 75,000. Bechahed wanted to see the river, though, and called to see it peel off the 7♥.

Massey eyed down Bechahed's stack to get a count before putting together two stacks of chips and moving forward a bet of 220,000. Seemningly not ready to release the hand, Bechahed gave his decision some thought before eventually sliding his cards toward the muck and conceding the pot to Massey.

Anthony Zinno moved all in for about 80,000 from middle position and Jianxin Wu called in the big blind.

Anthony Zinno: A♣Q♣
Jianxin Wu: J♦10♦

The J♥J♣4♠ flop put Wu way out in front, and although the A♥ turn provided a bit of hope, the 8♦ river bricked out and Zinno was eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to David Dongwoo Ko in the cutoff who made it 24,000 to go. Anthony Dianaty, who just a couple of short hands ago scored a huge double elimination, called from the big blind to see the flop come 10♥9♠5♦.

Dianaty checked over to Ko who opted to continue with a bet of 19,000. Dianaty wasted little time in making the call to see the turn bring the 6♠.

Dianaty checked again and watched as Ko put out a bet of 32,000. Dianaty was quick to make another check-call and watch as the 9♦ fell on the river.

Dianaty had checked up to this point, but this time decided to lead with a bet of 100,000. Ko didn't waste much time before deciding to let his cards go as the dealer pushes another pot in Dianaty's direction.

Player	Chips	Progress
Anthony Dianaty	1,700,000 845,000	845,000

David Dongwoo Ko	750,000 -10,000	-10,000
