Aksoy Picks Off a Bluff From Xu

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hang Xu and Tinay Aksoy had already built a pot of more than 500,000 heading to the river on a board of 8710J2 when Xu led out for 325,000.

Aksoy spent a few minutes agonizing over the decision before he eventually put in the chips to call. Xu turned over KQ for a bluff, while Aksoy showed AA to take the big pot.

Nakanishi Hits the Rail

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Shota Nakanishi opened to 55,000 from middle position and then called after Viliyan Petleshkov three-bet to 145,000 on the button.

Nakanishi check-called a continuation of 100,000 from Petleshkov on the AK4 flop to send the action to the turn.

Both players checked through the J turn to the 8 river at which point Nakanishi moved all in for 550,000, representing a pot sized bet. That sent Petleshkov into the tank as he spent around a minute contemplating his decision. Eventually he found a call with A10 and was rewarded with the pot and elimination after Nakanishi could only turn over a bluff.

Levy Puts Aguilera in the Tank

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Two players saw a flop of Q97, creating a pot of about 370,000. David Levy checked, and Jose Aguilera checked back.

The J fell on the turn, and Levy led for 130,000. Aguilera only took a couple of seconds before making the call.

When the A hit the river, Levy cut out a bet of 325,000 and pushed it across the line. Aguilera paused for a moment before asking how much Levy had behind. Levy moved his green chips so Aguilera could see his entire stack of about 550,000. Aguilera went into the tank for almost three minutes before tossing his cards into the muck.

Charlie Chiu
Charlie Chiu

Picking up the action on the 532 flop, Rhian Fineis bet 100,000 in the hijack and Charlie Chiu called on the button. That brought them to the A turn on which Fineis check-called for 225,000.

The same action repeated on the 5 river as Fineis check-called for 575,000. Chiu tabled the 44 for the wheel and Fineis mucked. His stack tumbled to a mere 100,000 and he bowed out soon after.

Becker Leads Two Streets, Can't Shake Lazaro Off Underpair

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jeremy Becker
Jeremy Becker

Rene Lazaro opened to from middle position and mid-stakes tournament prodigy Jeremy Becker defended out of the big blind.

Becker, seated aside fellow tournament crusher Chance Kornuth, checked on the 4JJ flop and called as Lazaro continued for 25,000. Becker then led out for 105,000 on the Q turn and Lazaro called.

The 6 river completed the board and Becker sized up to 285,000. Lazaro counted out his stack before eventually calling. Becker sheepishly turned over a bluff with K9 for king-high and Lazaro tabled an underpair with 33 to win the pot.

Vierling Misses Everything Against Kolev

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jessica Vierling
Jessica Vierling

Boris Kolev raised to 50,000 from under the gun before Jessica Vierling, in middle position, three-bet to 125,000. The table folded back around to Kolev, who called to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer turned over K35 and Kolev checked over to Vierling, who bet 30,000. Kolev called to the 9 turn, where he check-called another bet of 200,000.

Kolev also checked the 2 river and this time Vierling checked back. Kolev turned over 88.

"Aw, I had so many outs. Like a gazillion. Every ten, every jack, every heart," Vierling said as she mucked.

No Peppin' In His Step

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Svetlana Gromenkova opened to 55,000 from under the gun and Daniel Weinman three-bet to 140,000 on her left. Stephen Peppin four-bet to 325,000 on the button and the action folded back to Weinman who five-bet shoved all in.

Peppin was put to the test with just over 700,000 chips behind. After going into the tank for around two minutes, Peppin finally decided to fold his KK face up, sending the pot to Weinman.

"Wooow!" Sung Lee at the table was in shock.

"I think it's a good fold," another player acknowledged.
