Vazquez Flips Brammer to the Rail

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rolands Norietis raised to 185,000 in middle position before Christopher Brammer moved all in for 775,000 on the button. Luis Vazquez called in the big blind, while Norietis quickly got out of the way.

Christopher Brammer: 88 All in
Luis Vazquez: AJ

"Fold better?" Vazquez asked Norietis, who simply shrugged as Brammer and Vazquez went heads up to the flop.

Vazquez hit top pair on the J63 flop and Brammer couldn't catch up on the 9 turn or 5 river and was sent to the rail.

Theodore Pays Otero Off

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Guillermo Sanchez Otero opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Kevin Theodore defended his big blind.

Theodore check-called a 110,000 bet from Otero on the Q2K flop and then both players checked on the Q turn.

The 5 completed the board and Theodore checked once more — prompting a 250,000 bet from Otero.

Theodore decided to look him up and Otero announced, "King," as he turned over K3 for kings and queens. Theodore couldn't beat in and mucked — awarding the pot to Otero.

Buhaiov Gets Off to a Good Start

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nazar Buhaiov
Nazar Buhaiov

A few good hands for Nazar Buhaiov saw him elevate his stack into a safer position that what it was when the day began.

First, Buhaiov shoved from the small blind for 615,000 and was called by Manuel Machado in the big blind.

Nazar Buhaiov: J10 All in
Manuel Machado: K9

Buhaiov needed to connect with the board and left it until the very last moment to do so as he paired his ten on the 588210 runout.

The next hand, Toby Gibson raised from middle position to 250,000 and Buhaiov shoved for 1,310,000. The blinds folded, and despite the big opening size, Gibson also folded.

Kristen Foxen opened to 160,000 from middle position with AK, then called after Tony Dunst three-bet to 500,000 from the button with AK.

On the K turn, Dunst fired a second barrel of 650,000. Foxen check-called once again to find the 2 river where she checked.

Dunst checked back and sent his cards into the muck as Foxen flipped over the nut flush.

Slobodskoy Doubles Through Huang

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Xuejun Huang raised to 170,000 and Naor Slobodskoy then three-bet to 410,000 from two seats over. It folded back to Huang and he asked if Slobodskoy had any big chips behind, which was not the case. Huang moved all in and Slobodskoy beat him into the pot.

Naor Slobodskoy: AA All in
Xuejun Huang: AK

The A42 flop improved Slobodskoy to a set of aces and he nearly locked up the double. There was a sweat for a potential chop with the 5 turn but the 5 river paired the board for Slobodskoy to double for 1,845,000.

Serock Picks Off Lee in a Massive Pot

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joe Serock was being pushed a massive pot while Jangkyu Lee was waiting for a payout slip after a board of 34J2K.

According to Serock, Hai Pham raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Lee called in the small blind. Serock then three-bet to 760,000 in the big blind, Pham folded, and Lee four-bet to 1,500,000. Serock called.

Lee jammed on the flop and Serock called with AA. Lee could only show two nines and didn't find any miracles on the turn and river. The stacks were counted down and Serock had 2,300,000 remaining, barely covering Lee who was sent crashing out of the tournament.

"I saw you look back at the board when he shoved. Is there any board you wouldn't have called?" tablemate Russell Rosenblum said to Serock.

Cairo Kadre opened to 160,000 from middle position and was called by Joseph Bold in the small blind and Nicholas Howard in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 9Q5 flop and it was checked to Kadre again, who bet 135,000 on the 3 turn. Only Howard called.

The K completed the board and Howard turned over 98 for a pair of nines. Kadre sent his hand into the muck and Howard was sent the pot.
