Nakamura called and then drew one card after Barfield patted.

No-Limit 2-7

Andrew Barfield raised to 40,000 before Tamon Nakamura reraised to 130,000. Fu Wong tanked for several minutes before he called, as did Barfield.

Barfield and Wong both took one, while Nakamura stood pat. Barfield then led out for 240,000 and Nakamura quickly folded.

Wong spent another few minutes in the tank before he called. "You win," Barfield said as Wong showed a 10-7-5-4.

"I broke a ten and got another one. I didn't know what to do in that spot," Wong said.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

No-Limit 2-7

Chris Vitch was all in for around 50,000 and up against Renan Bruschi. Both took one as Vitch showed 9♠10x7x2x and Bruschi 7x3x6x8x.

"Give me a fair shot, Renan," Vitch said as Bruschi turned over a Ax. "That's easy to beat," Vitch added, but he also picked up an ace.

"No. What's fair about that," he cried out as his ten lost to Bruschi's eight to send him to the rail.

On a turn board of 5♣4♦K♠6♣, Jean Gaspard put his last bet in from the big blind versus Jason Pedigo, who called and had the man known as "Prince" dead to rights.

Jean Gaspard: K♥8♥
Jason Pedigo: 5♦5♥

Pedigo's set had Gaspard's kings drawing dead, leaving the 6♥ on the river irrelevant, bringing Gaspard's day to a stunning end after he started the day second in chips.

Limit Hold'em

Andrew Barfield bet on a board of 6♥10♦5♦8♠ before Christopher Adams raised in early position.

Barfield, on the button, called as they saw the 5♠ river. Adams bet again and Barfield called.

"Any pair wins," Adams said as he turned over A♣7♥ for ace-high. Barfield did have a pair, a big one with Q♦Q♠, and he took the pot to climb above 1,000,000.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Allan Le three-bet to 131,000 from the button and Walter Chambers called in the cutoff.

The flop came 10♣9♠5♥ and Chambers immediately announced pot, moving all in for his last 219,000. Le thought about the decision for only a few seconds before calling.

Walter Chambers: Q♠10♠J♣J♥
Allan Le: J♠K♣6♠Q♣

Chambers was ahead with his pair of jacks, and Le couldn't connect with the 7♥ turn or 3♦ river as Chambers doubled up.

Short-Stacked Vitch Triples; Bruschi Survives All-In

Mike Patrick

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Renan Bruschi raised to 30,000 under the gun and was met with a call from Allan le in the hijack, followed by an all-in from Christopher Vitch, who had just 12,000 left. Ian Steinman also called in the big blind.

The flop came 8♣2♦4♣, and after a check from Steinman, Bruschi potted it for 120,000, leaving 58,000 behind.

Le folded but after a bit of thought, Steinman raised to put Bruschi all in, and he called to become the second player at risk in the hand.

Christopher Vitch: A♥A♦6♦5♦
Renan Bruschi: K♠K♣9♦3♠
Ian Steinman: J♣8♦6♠5♣

Vitch's aces were ahead for the main pot while Bruschi's kings led for the side pot. They'd both need to fade Steinman's flush and straight draws.

The board completed with the 9♥ and A♠, giving Vitch a triple-up with his set of aces, while Bruschi survived taking the side pot with his kings.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ian Steinman	425,000 -25,000	-25,000

Renan Bruschi	418,000 68,000	68,000
