Action Before the Break
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mariette Language had chipped up before the break and then bet the river of a 8♣7♦2♠4♠7♥ river for 4,000. Dimitri Hadjipaschali reluctantly called and was shown the 4♦2♦ by Language, which he had beat with the 6♦6♥.
One table over, Teren Ramnundlall had been eliminated while Derrick Steenkamp bounced back.
Last but not least, Rajeev Poonhath bet the 10♦5♣3♣ flop for 1,200, earning calls from Harold Brooks and Wesley Blom. On the K♥ turn, Blom checked and Poonhath made it 2,500 to go. Brooks raised to 7,500 and Blom folded, Poonhath called. The latter bet the 6♥ river for 8,000 and Brooks folded his 9♣7♣ face-up.
