Level 14 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Michael Addamo opened to 55,000 on the button and Sergio Soto defended his big blind.

Soto led out for 35,000 on the 2♣6♦4♠ flop and Addamo responded by raising to 140,000.

Undeterred, Soto announced he was all in, which was enough to put Addamo all in for his last 255,000 behind. Addamo tossed his hand into the muck and Soto was sent the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ehsan Amiri opened to 50,000 from early position and it was folded to Robert Damelian, who moved all in for 225,000 total from the big blind. Amiri quickly called to put Damelian at risk and hands were revealed.

Robert Damelian: 3♥3♠ All in
Ehsan Amiri: A♠K♥

Damelian was looking to hold with his baby pair, but his hopes were quickly dashed after the 4♥K♦9♠ flop paired Amiri's king.

Neither the 7♣ turn nor 7♦ river bailed Damelian out and he wished Amiri "Good luck," before exiting the tournament area.

Level 14 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Michael Egan opened to 50,000 from early position and was three-bet 125,000 by Noman Mirza in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Egan, who called.

Egan check-called an 80,000 bet from Mirza on the 9♥6♦4♥ flop and then both players checked on the 7♣ turn and 8♠ river.

Mirza showed A♣K♣ and Egan revealed A♦A♠ to claim the pot with his rockets.

Kee's Stack Soars After Cracking Del Toro's Cowboys

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 6♠8♦Q♠ in what appeared to be a four-bet pot, Yu Hai Kee already had a bet in front of him from the cutoff and Bernardo Del Toro moved all in for over 700,000 on the button. Kee quickly called with a covering stack and a showdown was held.

Bernardo Del Toro: K♠K♦ All in
Yu Hai Kee: A♠8♠

Del Toro was technically ahead with his kings, but would need to fade a bunch of outs against Kee's pair and flush draw.

The A♣ turn immeidatley improved Kee to aces-up for the lead and the 5♣ river bricked out — eliminating Del Toro and sending the massive pot over to Kee.

"If he just five-bet [preflop] I fold," Kee was heard saying as he collected the pot.

Joseph Antar opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and his opponent in the small blind moved all in for approximately 325,000. Action was back on Antra, who quickly called to put his opponent at risk.

Small blind: Q♠8♥ All in
Joseph Antar: 10♥10♠

The 3♣5♦4♦4♥J♥ runount came clean for Antar's tens and he was sent the rest of his opponent's chips.

Yokosawa Cracks Finger's Jacks

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Masato Yokosawa opened on the button and was three-bet by Martin Finger in the small blind. Action folded back to Yokosawa, who used up a time bank before moving all in. Finger snap-called all in for about 250,000 total and hands were revealed.

Martin Finger: J♥J♦ All in
Masato Yokosawa: A♣10♠

The board ran out A♦6♠Q♥8♣K♥ — pairing Yokosawa's ace to send Finger to the rail.

"Luckyyy" Yokosawa said to his cameraman as he collected the pot.
