Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sorel Mizzi opened the action for 9,000 from the cut-off so button Amichai Barerand small blind Maxim Prokhorov came along for the ride. Yaxi Zhu was in the big blind and raised to 30,000.

Mizzi mused and raised her right back to 65,000 and Barerand and Prokhorov got out of the firing live. Zhu gave it several minutes thought before sliding out another raise making it 135,000. Mizzi threw in the towel and no flop was necessary for Zhu to claim a big pot.

Daniel Colman Out In 32nd

[user252447]

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Sunny Jung opened the betting and when Daniel Colman moved all in Jung made the call.

Jung turned over and Colman had . One from the bubble and Colman needed a bit of luck to survive.

The flop was giving Colman a straight. Jung would need the board to pair and that’s exactly what happened on the turn as a fell to give Jung a full house and left Colman drawing dead as a hit the river.

Play now switches to hand for hand on the money bubble.
