Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"It was suited," Paul Vas Nunes said to Doug Polk as he headed to the rail.

"Let the record show, as he is stacking my chips that it was ace-king suited," Polk said.

Doug Polk had just four-bet shoved from under the gun plus one and on this hand he raised under the gun to 11,000. The player to his left called and Vas Nunes reraised to 60,000. Polk shoved all in again and Vas Nunes called. Polk was at risk for his last 270,000.

Vas Nunes showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades} against the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Polk. The board brought a king on the flop and ran out {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Haxton Rivers a Set

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The player under-the-gun raised to 12,000 and Isaac Haxton called from the button. The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the action was checked to Haxton who bet 9,000. His opponent called and the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Both players checked to the {7-Spades} on the river and the under-the-gun player checked for the third time. Haxton bet 44,000 this time and his opponent took a couple moments but eventually found a call. Haxton tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a set of sevens and his opponent mucked his cards.

Sleeth Doesn't Get Pushed Around

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ivan Luca started the action with a raise to 10,000 and Ashley Sleeth three-bet to 30,000 in the cutoff. The small blind four-bet to 80,000 and Luca quickly folded. Sleeth, however, only took a few seconds of consideration and five-bet all in. The small blind asked for a count and folded when it was deemed to be for 227,000 in total.

Patel Shoves on Craft in Massive Pot

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mickey Craft
Mickey Craft

With about 75,000 in the pot and a board of {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} on the felt, Neil Patel bet 45,000 from under the gun. Mickey Craft made it 155,500 to go from the cutoff. Patel responded by jamming for 625,500.

Cameras swarmed and curious players wandered over to form a crowded rail as Craft went deep into the tank after getting a count. He sipped a beer, having already recently downed a shot of tequila. It sounded like he said he couldn't beat a full house. He cut out calling chips, but after a few minutes of thought, he released his hand. Patel didn't show.

"I worked too hard to get these chips," Craft said.

Kings!

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

From middle position, Michael Sassen opened for 11,000. His neighbor Sergi Reixach in the hijack called and hís neighbor in the cutoff squeezed to 55,000. The button and small blind both tanked for some time before folding. The big blind and Sassen immediately folded their hand.

With the action back on Reixach, he shoved all in. The cutoff called.

Sergi Reixach: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Cutoff: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the two of them chopped the pot with a full house for both.

Carodenuto Takes From Gorodinsky

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Picking up the action after the turn of a {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} board with about 90,000 in the middle, Mike Gorodinsky bet 40,000 from the hijack and Carl Carodenuto called from the button.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, Gorodinsky bet 94,000, Carodenuto raised to 220,000, and Gorodinsky tanked for nearly four minutes before he called.

"Nuts, baby!" shouted an excited Carodenuto, showing {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a king-high straight. Gorodinsky mucked, and Carodenuto took down the pot.
