Laak Low, Selbst Sits

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

It folded to Phil Laak in the small blind and he limped for 100, with a stack of around 1,400, and the big blind checked his option.

They saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} which was checked and on the turn card {9-Diamonds} Laak bet 100. His opponent called and they saw a river {j-Spades}. Laak bet 400 and his opponent moved all in for only 150 more. Laak called and mucked when he saw he was beaten by {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flopped two pair.

Meanwhile in the Pavillion room Vanessa Selbst has taken her seat.

Polychronopoulos Flushed

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

The {8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board was already complete and Athanasios Polychronopoulos called a bet of what looked like 800 rather quickly. He then shook his head with a grin on the face when the opponent in the small blind turned over the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a gutshot on the flop that improved to a flush on the river.

Esfandiari Busts a Shortie

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We picked up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} turn when a short stack bet 1,000 with another 200 behind. Antonio Esfandiari min-raised to 2,000 and got a reluctant call from {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Esfandiari showed {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and won the pot after the {3-Hearts} river completed the board. At the same table we also have Heinz Kamutzki, who already had two top 10 results at the 2014 World Series Of Poker.

Let the Magic Begin

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari has joined the action and gladly posed for a picture with one of his fans who happened to be in the seat next to him. With that done Esfandiari opened the next hand a got a call from the button and Heinz Kamutzki in the big blind. The flop of {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} was checked around, but a bet of 125 from Esfandiari on the turn {a-Clubs} saw the chips in the pot head his way.

Also joining this level are Phil Laak and Dan Shak.
