Leng Takes a Pot Off Vilchez

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hold'em

A limped three-way pot saw Ryan Leng, Dan Matsuzuki, and Jesse Vilchez pay the minimum to see a {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Leng bet 28,000, Matsuzuki check-folded, and Vilchez check-called.

The {10-Diamonds} hit the turn and Vichez check-called another bet from Leng, this time for 77,000. Leng fired 169,000 when the {a-Spades} fell on the river and Vilchez check-called for the third time.

Leng tabled the {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for two pair and Vilchez mucked.

Polk Makes a Painful Fold

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

PLO

Dan Matsuzuki limped from early position, Kevin Iacofano overlimped in the cutoff and Jordan Polk potted for 132,000 on the button. Matsuzuki tossed in calling chips and Iacofano left the party.

The {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board was checked through to the river where Matsuzuki led out 190,000. Polk spent over two minutes contemplating his decision. He shook his head and sighed multiple times. Then he finally moved his cards towards the dealer, having decided to fold.
