Larsen Scores the Knockout
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Steve Lengyel bet 2,200 into three opponents from the big blind, on a 
flop. Ronald Larsen called from under the gun, the hijack folded, and Tyler Patterson made the call from the cutoff.
Lengyel went all in for his last 21,000 on the 
turn, and Larsen made the call.
Steve Lengyel: 
Ronald Larsen: 
The turn brought Lengyel aces up, but was actually a disastrous result as it also gave Larsen the nut flush. No help came for Lengyel on the 
river, and Larsen chipped up to 68,000.

Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
While the Ante Up World Championship $1,650 Main Event is the premier tournament on the schedule, it’s far from the only one. In fact, the tour has been at Thunder Valley since early July hosting a slew of side events.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team wasn’t on hand to capture the action from those events, but we still wanted to offer fans a brief look at all those who’ve captured titles during the Ante Up World Championship.
For example, Event #21: $160 NLH Knockout had 77 entrants compete for a $10,010 prize pool, which included bounties. The tournament ended in a four-way deal that saw Rolando Barron crowned champ for $1,277.
