Lopez and Kapoor Clash Twice

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Before the bubble burst, big stacks Jason Kapoor and Adrian Lopez played two big pots against each other.

First, Kapoor raised Lopez on the {2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and he came along to the {x-Diamonds} diamond turn. Both players checked and the river brought the {8-Diamonds}. Lopez check-called 150,000 from Kapoor but saw the bad news and Kapoor held {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} a flush. Lopez slammed his fist on the table as a big pot went the other way.

A few minutes later they got into a raising war on the {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. Kapoor bet 21,000 and Lopez raised to 75,000. Kapoor shoved with the bigger stack and Lopez called.

Adrian Lopez: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Jason Kapoor: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Kapoor was in front with aces and the turn was a blank, but the river brought the {k-Clubs} and Lopez spiked trips to double.

Fritzer Can't Hold With Jacks on Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rip Fritzer was all in preflop for his last 65,000 and chip leader Elvis Toomas called.

Rip Fritzer: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Elvis Toomas: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Fritzer was in a good spot to double but the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop came down with an ace in the window to put Toomas way in front. Fritzer would need to find the last jack in the deck but the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades} runout was not what he needed.

All remaining players are now in the money.

Bubble Looming

The early string of knockouts has briefly halted for the moment.

A player shoved from under the gun for 55,000 and Brayan Noriegasolis three-bet to 155,000. Liya Gerasimova then called all in for less and everyone else folded.

Under The Gun: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Liya Gerasimova: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Brayan Noriegasolis: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

It was a battle of three pairs but the {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Noriegasolis a set of tens. The turn and river would not spare the shorter stacks and he moved up to half a million.
