Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ted Forrest was down to micro stack after folding on fifth street against Justin Bonomo who bet-three-bet on fourth. Bonomo then fired another bet on fifth with three wheel cards on his board. Forrest thought for a bit but eventually decided to let his hand go. Limits were about to increase and Forrest had under two big bets left.

Ted Forrest: / (folded on fifth street)
Justin Bonomo: /

But Forrest knew where to go for chips, doubling through Max Pescatori in the following minutes. "Can you double through someone else, please?" smiled Pescatori.

The chips went in on fourth street when Pescatori hit open threes.

Ted Forrest: /
Max Pescatori: /

Pescatori couldn't improve his high and didn't qualify for low either. Forrest spike another eight on sixth street to score the double.

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ted Forrest was all in on third street, trying to double up against Walter Treccarichi. Forrest started with a pair of sevens, but Treccharichi made sevens on the way, too. He also had seven-perfect low, and Forrest was sweating the river card. He found a fifth spade to split the pot with Treccarichi.

Forrest then challenged the other Italian player at the table, Max Pescatori, and his second attempt was a bigger success. Forrest's sevens up were good to scoop the pot, earning him a much-needed double.

Bill Kohler had four to a straight on board and bet against two opponents on sixth street after everyone checked fifth.

Kohler: /
Hal Rotholz: /
Steve Jelinek: /

Everyone called to see seventh, and Rotholz came out betting. Jelinek dropped in 80,000 without saying anything, and Kohler made it three bets. Rotholz called, and Jelinek leaned back.

"I meant to call," he said softly.

After some time, he folded what he said was a set of jacks. Rotholz showed for an eight-high straight and a low, but he only got half, as Kohler had a seven for a nine-high straight.

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Max Pescatori won a pot against Tim Finne when Finne completed and Pescatori called. Pescatori then barreled every street, and Finne called down all the way to the showdown.

Tim Finne: / /
Max Pescatori: / /

Pescatori rolled over for a flush and a seven-six low to scoop Finne.

However, Pescatori gave his new chips to another player in the following hand, facing off with Don Zewin. It was cheaper for Pescatori this time, at least, as he fired only on sixth street when he paired his queens. Zewin called and checked back on seventh.

Max Pescatori: / /
Don Zewin: / /

Pescatori had nothing but the queens, while Zewin showed for sevens up.
