Japanese player Shimizu Nozomu is on to a fantastic summer so far. He finished third in both $5,000 NLHE Freezeout 8-Handed and $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship for more than $430,000.

Nozomu is one of the contestants still alive in this $800 Deepstack. He just busted a shortstack with J♣9♣ against A♠9♥ all in preflop on a 4♣J♥K♣9♦J♦ board.

Cazacu Makes His Mother Proud

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After both players checked the 5♣7♦6♠ flop, the big blind bet out 10,000 on the 10♣ turn and Adrian Cazacu reraised 45,000, enough from early position to put the big blind all-in.

The big blind began a lengthy thought process that went on over three minutes, repeatedly looking at the clock, even though payouts have not yet been announced.

Eventually he said, "Clock." Cazacu asked, "Did you just call clock on yourself?" The floor was summoned and after a brief countdown, the big blind called, and showed J♠10♠ for a pair of tens. Cazacu rolled over AxAx, and the 2♦ river busted out the big blind.

"My mom is going to be so excited to see my name!" said Cazacu, stacking his chips. "Make sure you spell it right!"

Ace on the River for Savitsky

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Thomas Savitsky had his opponent at risk for roughly 80,000 and both hands were on their backs.

All-In Player: J♣J♦
Thomas Savitsky: A♥K♦

It was a classic race as the flop came Q♥5♣3♥. The turn was the 8♣, leaving Savitsky with just six outs headed to the river and the A♦ was one of them, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Petrone Moves His Castle to Queen 4

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Bryan Micon bet 15,000 from under the gun on a flop of 7♣5♥Q♥ and Gianluca Petrone called in late position.

Micon checked on a 8♥ turn and Petrone bet 25,000, which Micon called. But when Petron placed a large tower of red 5,000 chips in front of him, enough to put Micon all in on a 4♦ river, Micon released.

Micon was multi-tabling Online Event #7: $500 PLO 8-Max and said he had about an average stack, with late registration about to end. "But I cashed earlier in [Online Event #6: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo]."

A player in the hijack position opened to 9,000, and everybody folded to 2021's WSOP bracelet winner Leo Margets in the big blind. She took a few seconds and raised to 32,000, and her opponent called.

On a J♦6♥10♣ flop, she continued betting 27,000. Not enough to scare the hijack, who called once more.

Another Jack appeared on the turn J♠, where Margets moved all in. The hijack player called for his last 55,000 chips.

Leo Margets: A♥A♣
Opponent: 8♠7♣

Margets just had to avoid a nine to claim the pot. But it was the 10♠ that hit the river, eliminating the hijack player and leaving Margets with 285,000 chips.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Maximo Martinez, Tom Poulton, and a third player got it all in preflop.

Maximo Martinez: K♠J♠
Tom Poulton: Q♥10♥

The board came out A♥K♥J♦6♠Q♦ with Poulton's flopped straight besting Martinez' two pair.

"What a flop for me!" said Poulton, as he nearly tripled up.

Nearby, Dan Shak was a late arrival but has already built a stack of 182,000.
