Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to a player on the button who opened to 8,000. Next to act was popular poker vlogger, Kiran Raina, in the small blind who ripped it in for 52,000. The big blind got out of the way and the button opener snap called.

The cards hit their back.

Kiran Raina: A♣2♥
Button: K♦Q♣

The flop landed 8♠8♣5♦ which kept Raina in the lead. The 5♣ hit the turn and the river gave Raina the pair he didn't need in the form of a 2♠.

Raina Scooped a much needed pot to double going into the most important levels of the day.

Quazzo Wins A Fair Fight

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their backs between Nick Quazzo who had called the all in of an opponent who moved in for 21,000.

Opponent: 10♣10♥
Nick Quazzo: Q♠J♦

The flop came out 10♠9♣2♥ and Quazzo remarked, "that's a fair fight."

"Don't put a king out there!" the opponent pleaded with the dealer.

The turn granted his wish with an 8♦, which still put Quazzo in the lead with a striaght, leaving the other player to need to catch up by filling up. The river 4♦ was not the board pairing card he needed and Quazzo took down the pot.

At another table, Nicholas Velentzas was eliminated from the tournament.
