Yohannes Ambaye
Yohannes Ambaye

The board read {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades} with 2,200 in the middle and four players holding cards in front of them. Action checked to the cutoff, who bet 1,600 and received calls from the big blind as well as Yohannes Ambaye in the hijack.

Three then went to the turn {4-Spades} and action checked to the cutoff again. He bet another 3,100 and both players stuck around.

The river fell {4-Clubs} and the big blind checked again, putting action on Ambaye who bet 3,600. Less than five seconds later, both of his opponents folded and he took down the pot.

Sandoval Makes a Straight

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Daniel Sandoval
Daniel Sandoval

A small pile of chips was in the middle from preflop action and three players went to a flop of {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The small blind led out for 1,000 and received a call from Daniel Sandoval in early position. Josh Saltz then folded on the button.

Action went heads up to the turn, where the small blind bet another 1,100 and Sandoval called again. The river fell {2-Diamonds} and both players checked to take the hand to showdown.

Sandoval turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} after checking back, showing a straight that could not be bested despite three spades being on board and he took down the pot as a result.

Zach Gutierrez
Zach Gutierrez

Zach Gutierrez pumped it up to 1,800 in the small blind over numerous preflop limpers and wound up with Andrew Miller as his only caller, doing so on the button.

The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Gutierrez continuation-bet 2,000. Miller called.

The turn came {q-Clubs} and Gutierrez put in another 5,000. Miller went into the tank for a bit, engaging in some discussion with Gutierrez as he came to his decision and let his hand go, which earned Gutierrez the pot.

Ramadanis Takes Liberto's Stack

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Andreas Ramadanis
Andreas Ramadanis

Under the gun raised to 1,200 and received calls from Andreas Ramadanis in early position and Aaron Thomas in middle position. Justin Liberto was on the button and re-jammed for 6,900.

The original raiser and Ramadanis both called, with Thomas folding behind to take heads-up action postflop for the side pot. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} and the original raiser checked. Ramadanis bet 3,100 and was called. The turn was {5-Spades} and the original raiser check-folded to another 5,100 from Ramadanis.

Justin Liberto: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Andreas Ramadanis: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Ramadanis' queens were out in front of Liberto's nines and Liberto failed to hit a set or connect with his backdoor gutshot straight draw on the river to bring about his elimination. He tapped the felt and wished the table good luck before making his way from the tournament area.
