Wilson Scores a Double

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Brock Wilson: KJ All in
Matthew Zambanini: 77

It was a flip, and the 852J3 runout would allow Wilson to win it, as he secured a much-needed double.

Vaysman Wins Big Multiway

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Gagliano opened to 1,800 from late position, and both Brandon Hamlet and Justin Vaysman defended their blinds.

Gagliano threw out a continuation-bet of 2,500 when checked to on the 6410 flop, and yet again both players called, before action checked through on the 3 turn.

The river 2 saw Hamlet lead out for 2,500, and Vaysman raise to 10,200. Gagliano folded, and Hamlet went deep into the tank. After a few minutes, he decided to flick in the chips, only to see them handed over to his opponent, whose 53 was the winner.

After busting right before the break, Salvatore Evola has rejoined the action.

Glazer Puts Deng to the Test

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Clemen Deng opened to 1,200 under the gun. Two seats to his left, Jordan Glazer put in the call, and all other players folded.

Deng bet out for 1,000 on the 25Q flop, then for 2,000 on the 6 turn. Both bets were called by Glazer.

He then slowed down with a check on the 6 river, and Glazer slid 6,000 forward, which was enough to put his opponent all in. Deng thought for quite some time before laying his hand down. He busted shortly after.

On another table, Cherish Andrews re-entered.
