Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Juan Vecino opened 400,000 under the gun and Chris Klodnicki went in the tank from the cutoff. After a couple of minutes the clock was called and as the countdown hit five seconds, he called off his 175,000. Ravi Shankar also made the call from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♣J♣10♠ and Shankar led for 400,000 before Vecino raised to 1,000,000. Shankar tabled A♥5♠ before tossing his hand into the muck and both live hands were tabled.

Chris Klodnicki: A♦10♣ All in
Juan Vecino: A♠J♥

Klodnicki flopped two pair but was behind the better two pair of Vecino and couldn't catch up as the board completed with the 9♥ on the turn and the 4♠ on the river.

Paolo Boi limped the button as did Ravi Shankar from the small blind before Juan Vecino raised to 650,000 from the big blind. Both players made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of A♥10♣8♠, and Shankar check-folded to a bet of 325,000 from Vecino while Boi made the call.

When the J♦ hit the turn, Vecino continued for 800,000. Boi thought about it for about 30 seconds before letting his hand go.

Paolo Boi opened 400,000 under the gun and Huihan Wu defended the big blind.

When the K♥K♣3♠ flop hit the felt, Wu checked to Boi who continued with a bet of 300,000. That was enough for Wu to surrender the pot as his cards hit the muck.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Justin Belforti in the small blind limped so Brandon Mitchell in the big blind only had to check his option to find a flop of 3♦6♦4♣. Belforti continued for 200,000 and he made Mitchell fold.

On the next hand, Belforti on the button announced 225,000, but the dealer eventually realized that it wasn't enough to raise. "You almost got me!" Belforti's friends in the rail said, making the players around the table laugh.

Marc Foggin in the big blind checked and checked the 10♥Q♥7♣ flop. Belforti bet 200,000, enough to make Foggin fold.
