Tyler Foran

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a blind versus blind battle the turn read J♦9♦6♥3♥ and both Igor Zektser and the big blind put 6,000 across the line.

The K♣ fell on the river and Zektser checked to his opponent who dropped 3,500 across the line. Zektser wasted no time making the call as his opponent rolled K♥4♥ for a pair of kings. Zektser tabled A♠A♦ to drag the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jonathan Bowers check-called a bet of 5,500 on the K♦J♦9♥6♠6♦ river while in the small blind and his table neighbor Stefan Bittger on the button revealed the A♠A♦ to win the pot.

One hand later, Bowers three-bet to 2,000 and the initial raiser called. On the J♥4♦4♠ flop, Bowers bet 1,500 when checked to and received a call as the same procedure repeated on the 2♠ turn for 5,000. Both then checked the J♦ river and Bowers won the pot with A♣A♥ versus 5♣5♥.

Smith Delivers an Early Elimination With Aces

Kai Cocklin

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player from early position, who had already lost the bulk of his stack, shoved for around 4,000 chips, and Shawn Smith called from the next seat.

Early Position: K♦10♦ All in
Shawn Smith: A♦A♥

There was some hope for the early position on the 3♦8♥2♦ flop, but neither the 6♣ turn nor 2♥ river could keep him alive which meant he was sent for an early shower during Level 1.

Lamanna Nearly Exits Room After Daring Bluff

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Pierpaolo Lamanna sat on the button when he bet 8,200 on a turn of 2♣7♦Q♣Q♦. His opponent was in early position and check-called.

The 3♠ river saw his opponent check again before Lamanna fired all in for 35,000.

"Quads are good, I fold," stated his opponent as she tabled KxKx. Lamanna showed 5♣4♣ for five-high, packed his bag, stood up, and started to walk away.

Only after he was notified by the table that his opponent had in fact folded, he returned with a big smile on his face, ready to continue his Main Event.
