Jeremy Geist

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The cutoff opened the action to 2,200 before getting called in the small blind by Masato Yokosawa and in the big blind by Michael Jozoff.

The 8♣3♠7♠ flop landed and action checked through to a 3♦ turn. Yokosawa opted to lead for 3,800 and Jozoff quickly raised to 11,000.

The cutoff got out of the way and action was back on Yokosawa who called before the 5♣ rolled off on the river.

It checked to Jozoff who went into the tank for a moment and then fired another shell for 21,500. Yokosawa snap-folded and Jozoff scooped on his way to a top ten stack.

Action was opened under the gun to 2,500 before it folded to Lewis Spencer in late position who three-bet to 8,000. It then folded to Jesse Lonis on the button who wasted little time before putting in a cold four-bet to 23,000.

Under the gun got out of the way and action was back on Spencer who used his full 30 seconds and then found a fold.

Lonis dragged the pot without even seeing a flop.
