Bartolotta Triples Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Cam Bartolotta saw his stack dwindle from 42,000 to 13,000 after being moved to Table 2, but he finally found a spot to get his chips in. After the player in Seat 1 opened to 5,600, Bartolotta shipped his 13,400-chip stack in with the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Two players called and both checked the {j-}{8-}{2-} flop. The turn brought a {7-} and the player in Seat 9 bet 30,000, inducing a fold from Seat 1. Bartolotta was pleased to see his jacks ahead of pocket tens, and the {Q-} on the river gave him a much-needed triple.

"Any Two Cards" for Rivera

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Alex Rivera is plowing through Table 2 and now boasts a stack of almost 320,000.

Moments ago, Antonio Guggino limped from early position and Rivera raised to 7,000 directly behind. Action folded over to Andy Postiglion in the blinds and he moved all in for 44,000. Guggino folded and Rivera got an exact count on Postiglion's stack before placing in a call.

Postiglion: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Rivera: {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Postiglion was in excellent shape to double through the {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop and {A-Diamonds} turn, but the {K-Hearts} drilled the river to give Rivera a better pair.

"Any two cards. That's how we're doing it," Rivera told us as he raked in another pot.
