Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Ismael Bojang opened for 3,600 from the cutoff seat, then Nacho Barbero reraised to 8,000 from the button. Scott Seiver called from the big blind, and Bojang called as well.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn was the {10-Hearts}, and at the sight of the card Seiver bet 20,000. Bojang folded, but Barbero stuck around.

The river was the {K-Spades}, and both remaining players checked. Barbero rolled over {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a king-high straight, and Seiver mucked.

Bad news for the rest of the field as Vanessa Selbst has just won a big double-up to improve her stack to more than double the current average.

The hand began with Selbst opening with a raise to 3,500 from the small blind. Her opponent in the big blind reraised to 14,000, Selbst repotted, her opponent shoved, and Selbst called all in for 86,700 total.

Selbst had {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} while her opponent held {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and now Selbst has more than 170,000.

Boost for Bleznick

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

We came upon a big three-way hand brewing between Jared Bleznick, Michael Hertz, and Paul Pierce just now. Action before the flop saw Bleznick raising from middle position, Hertz reraising from the button, Pierce calling out of the blinds, then Bleznick reraising the pot to more than 50,000. Hertz called all in with his short stack, and Pierce thought for a while before calling Bleznick's big reraise.

That created a total pot of 123,500, and as the dealer burned a card to deliver the flop, Bleznick spoke across the table to Pierce.

"This is going to be a big one," said Bleznick. "Whoever wins… no slowrolling." The table chuckled at the reference to Pierce's earlier hand in which he had busted another player.

The flop came {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and after Pierce checked, Bleznick promptly bet the pot. That sent Pierce deep into the tank as he considered what to do. After a minute he stood up and the massage therapist who had been working his shoulders took a step back as he stretched his 6'7" frame. He sat back down and after a short while longer finally let his hand go.

Bleznick then tabled {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} while Hertz turned over {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and river the {6-Diamonds}, Bleznick collected the chips, and Hertz hit the rail.

Flush for Faure

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Nicolas Faure was just all in following a {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop and at risk holding {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a big wrap draw plus a heart flush draw versus Imad Derwiche's set of aces with {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Faure was still at risk, but the {5-Hearts} came on the river to complete his flush and allow him to keep his seat.

Quad Aces for Semin

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

A short-stacked player raised to 5,400 from early position, then Mikhail Semin reraised to 15,000 from the cutoff seat. Tony Lay called the reraise from the small blind, and the original raiser called all in with his remaining chips.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and both Lay and Semin checked. The turn was the {10-Hearts}. Lay checked, Semin bet 12,000, and after some thought Lay called.

The river was the {K-Hearts}. Lay checked again, and this time Semin bet 26,000. Lay tanked for a full minute, then called once more.

Semin quickly tabled his hand — {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. He'd flopped quad aces, and Lay quickly mucked. Meanwhile the all-in player showed his {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} and departed.
