Level 27 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah
Ronnie Bardah

Ronnie Bardah opened the action with a raise to around 250,000. It folded to the player on the button who asked for a count and then three-bet to around 600,000.

The action folded back to Bardah and he didn't take long before he moved all-in for 1,620,000. The player on the button counted out calling chips, he had Bardah just barely covered. He took another minute before making the call.

Ronnie Bardah: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Bardah's pocket kings held and he doubled his stack.

Meltzer Wins a Six Million Chip Pot

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jordan Meltzer just won a pot worth more than 6,000,000 and was kind enough to relay the details.

Haim Or Krief opened to 240,000 from middle position and Meltzer made the call from the button. Both players checked the {a-}{q-}{10-} flop that included two spades.

Krief bet 410,000 on the {7-Spades} turn and Meltzer made the call.

Krief bet again, this time for 550,000, on the {j-Clubs} river. According to his tablemates, Meltzer tanked for several minutes before moving all in for 2,185,000. Krief snap-called with {k-}{10-} for a rivered straight but received the bad news when Meltzer showed {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for the nut flush.

Krief busted shortly afterward.

Garg Sends Opponent to Rail With Aces

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

"I don't think I can fold this hand my friend" said Lokesh Garg as he looked at the board of {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. His opponent had made a fairly large shove on the flop and the big decision was on Garg.

After a few more moments Garg called and turned over the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. He saw the good news as his opponent had the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Garg was excited as he was in great position for a big pot. The turn came the {10-Spades} and the river the {7-Hearts} to confirm the pot for Garg who let out a "yes" and a fist bump as he became one of the larger stacks in the room.

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 225,000. Mark Cerili called on the button and they went heads-up to the flop.

The original raiser tanked for a while and mucked. Cerili chipped up right before going into the first break of the day.
