Two Streets of Value For Aziz Against Watts

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Renan Aziz opened with the A♠A♦ to 40,000 and Steven Watts defended the big blind with the K♣3♣. On a K♥8♥2♦ flop, Watts checked and subsequently called a continuation bet worth 35,000.

The 6♠ followed on turn and Watts checked again. Aziz bet 115,000 into 175,000 and Watts stuck around once more, which led them to the 7♥ river.

Once the former British football player checked, Aziz made it 240,000 to go. Watts laid down his top pair and avoided further damage to his stack.

Brian Arbaugh raised to 35,000 with the 2♠2♦ and Cong Pham called with the A♣K♠ from one seat over. The flop came 7♦6♦3♦ and Arbaugh continued for 25,000. Pham raised to 85,000 and that did the trick to win the pot uncontested.

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Daniel James raised 30,000 in the hijack, and both the hijack and Christian Roberts in the big blind made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦Q♦5♦, and Roberts checked to James as he continued for 40,000. The hijack quickly folded and Roberts did the same.

Bradley Moskowitz is at the same table and has been quietly building his stack.

Hachem With Aces

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nick Kiley opened from early position to 30,000. Everybody at the table folded to 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem in the small blind, who raised to 135,000. Kiley called, and a J♠2♣2♦ flop was revealed by the dealer.

On this first street, Hachem continued with a bet of 80,000. Then Kiley decided to raise to 180,000, and Hachem called to see the turn 7♥.

Hachem checked to let Kiley bet 250,000. But it was a trap as Hachem check-raised all in. Covered with almost 700,000 chips, Kiley snap called.

Nick Kiley: K♦J♦
Joe Hachem: A♠A♦

Kiley had a top pair with a very good kicker. But he couldn't do much against Hachem's aces, which held after the river Q♠. Kiley was eliminated on this hand, allowing Hachem to take the pot and increase his stack to 2,170,000 chips.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Keanu Tabali opened to 30,000 from early position and Doug Polk defended his big blind.

Polk checked the J♠10♠8♣ flop and Tabali bet 35,000. Polk briefly considered his options before moving all in for approximately 140,000. Tabali made the call to put Polk at risk.

Doug Polk: K♦Q♦
Keanu Tabali: A♣Q♠

Polk was in bad shape against the bigger queen but still had outs in the form of an ace or a nine. Polk did not get what he needed on the J♥6♦ run out and his Main Event run came to an end while Tabali collected the last of his chips.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 120,000 with two players looking at a board that read 10♦8♠6♠.

A player in middle position checked the action over to Calin Trif in the hijack. Trif bet out for 65,000 only to be met by a raise to 165,000 by his opponent.

Trif responded with a three-bet jam for his remaining 480,000 and his opponent called.

Calin Trif: A♥10♥
Middle Position: 9♥9♦

The board ran out with the 2♣ and the 4♦ allowing Trif to claim this pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Cong Pham opened the action with a raise to 35,000 with the Q♣9♣. He was called by Jason Somerville with the J♦J♣ in the hijack, while Jonathan Dimmig came along from the big blind with the Q♦10♣.

Dimmig flopped the nuts on J♠9♠8♥ and check-called a bet worth 60,000 by Somerville, while Pham got out of the way. Dimmig check-called another 150,000 on the 8♠ turn and the 6♣ river completed the board.

Dimmig, who was hiding his face inside a hoodie and behind sunglasses, checked the third street in a row. Somerville now bet 500,000 for most of his opponent's stack. Nearly three minutes of consideration later, Dimmig sent his cards into the muck but left a decent portion of his stack.

Kwanghwan Park raised it up from the hijack and Jeremy Becker called in the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of 10♠6♥3♣ and Park continued with a bet of 30,000. Becker called and the 5♥ landed on the turn.

Park fired out another bet of 75,000 on the turn and Becker stuck around for the K♣ on the river. Park threw in a bet of 100,000 and Becker one-chipped him. Park showed 9♣7♥ for a missed straight draw while Becker held J♣10♣ for a pair of tens.
