Multiway Action Leads to All-in

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

After a pair of limps in early position and a raise to 800 from Carole Zerbib, Sergio Benso three-bet to 2,000, which was met with a four-bet from Jan Mach.
The blinds, limpers, and Zerbib all folded before Benso five-bet all in for a little under 10,000, which Mach called.

Sergio Benso: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Jan Mach: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, chopping the pot and adding a bit to Benso and Mach's stacks.

Cotturri Flushes for a Near Triple

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Vincenzo Cotturri
Vincenzo Cotturri

With around 5,000 in the original pot and {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} on the board, floor staff was in the process of resolving the hand after a three-way all in.

Vincenzo Cotturri had {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} tabled for the flush while Oleg Bessaev was showing {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. Carmen Zainescu had mucked the losing hand and was out of the tournament. Bessaev had called Cotturri's shove, but there was some question as to the exact amount that Cotturri would be owed.

It took a moment, but floor staff determined that Cotturri was owed 11,500 from Bessaev, and he dragged a pot to nearly triple his stack early in Day 1a action.

Maiorano turned over {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and took the pot with jacks over eights.

De Jong Pressures Fu

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 300 and the button called. Willem De Jong came along from the small blind and Nick Fu tossed in calling chips from the big blind.

The flop was {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and De Jong bet 800. Fu raised to 2,500 and that sent the cutoff and the button into the muck. De Jong called and the turn was {2-Diamonds}.

De Jong checked the turn and Fu bet 3,500. De Jong slid a large stack into the middle for a big raise and Fu spent a few moments in the tank before he got away from it.
