Slocum Finds a Flush

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ryan Slocum opened to 1,600 from middle position and found calls from a player in the button and Johannes Becker in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦K♠K♦. Becker checked, Slocum checked and the button bet 1,700. Becker got out of the way and Slocum made the call.

Slocum check-called another bet from the button on the 9♦ turn, this time for 6,500.

Both players checked the K♥ river. Slocum showed A♦7♦ for an ace-high flush and his opponent quickly mucked.

In a heads-up raised pot, the flop was 5♠9♥K♠. Karina Jett check-called from the big blind Marco Bognanni's bet of 2,000.

Both checked on the 3♠ turn and 7♣ river and Jett showed K♦4♦ for top pair, which was good enough to make Bognanni muck his hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was caught when Karina Lima had a decision because David Bokor moved all in for 24,600 chips. She eventually made the call.

Karina Lima: A♥J♦
David Bokor: A♣K♠

At risk, Bokor's hand held on 5♣7♠5♠Q♥. But the J♥ on the river broke his dreams, as it completed a pair for Lima.

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tom Marchese and Robert Duran built a pot of around 10,000 heading to the 9♣3♦J♠ flop when Marchese bet 3,500 from the button.

Duran called under the gun, then the 10♥ fell on the turn. He checked over to Marchese, who moved all in for 11,900.

Duran tanked for around two minutes as he counted out his remaining stack before calling with A♦Q♠. Marchese had Q♦Q♥ and was a favorite to double up.

The river, though, brought the K♠ and Duran led out a fist pump as he made Broadway to send Marchese to the rail early on Day 2.

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pengfei Wang, Lander Lijo, and a late registrant in the big blind were three-way to the turn on a board of 4♣10♦7♥2♥. The big blind checked before Lijo bet 19,000 into the pot of around 20,500. Wang then called all-in for the same amount and the big blind also came along.

The river fell the 9♥ and the big blind led out for 25,000, leaving himself roughly the same amount behind. Lijo thought for a minute before putting the big blind all-in, and the big blind eventually made the call.

Lijo showed K♥Q♥ for a king-high flush, while the big blind played 8♥6♥ for a lower one. Wang, meanwhile, had the best hand up until the river, but his A♣10♥ for top pair was outdrawn.

Lijo raked in a big pot while the two other players' Main Event dreams were crushed and they left the tournament area.

Andrew Knowles

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko opened the action to 1,800 from middle position and Patrick Leonard made the call next to act. It folded around to the big blind who came along as well.

The flop fanned out A♥9♠6♥ and the big blind checked to Shylko who continued for 2,400, which only Leonard called.

On the J♦ turn Shylko kept up the aggression with a bet of 8,000 and Leonard took a few seconds before tossing his cards into the muck.

The pot stood at approximately 42,000 with two players remaining in the hand as the full board read 6♠J♦8♦4♣K♣.

Asi Moshe in the big blind checked the action to John Cornelsen in early position. Cornelsen bet out for 25,000 sending Moshe into the tank before he eventually called.

"Set" announced Cornelsen as he tabled 6♣6♦ for a flopped set of sixes to take the pot.

Christopher Brammer entered Day 2 second in chips across the first three starting flights and continues to thrive early on.

In the most recent hand, he was involved against Serhii Popovych, who checked the Q♦5♥4♦8♦10♣ river to the Brit. Brammer bet 6,500 into 9,000 and that won the pot without showdown as Popovych opted to fold.

Shegal Might Have Had a Jack

Ryan Gray

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Vikenty Shegal raised to 1,700 from the cutoff and Ronnie Ballantyne called from the button.

Both checked a 4♥4♣K♣ flop, but then Shegal put in the delayed 1,600 continuation bet on a 6♥ turn.

When he bet again, 2,400 on the J♣ river, Ballantyne considered calling but elected to fold with a suspicious look on his face. "Did you have the jack?" he asked Shegal.

Shegal's only reply was a Cheshire Cat grin as he slipped his cards to the dealer.
