Trofimov Finds Money Card On River
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The action was picked up in a heads-up pot of roughly 30,000 on a board showing A♦J♦9♠8♥. Dragos Trofimov bet out 13,000 from the big blind and was called by Karo Nuri in early position.
The 9♦ completed the board and Trofimov took a moment before tossing out 15,000, leaving only 5,000 behind. Nuri quickly announced all in and Trofimov snap-called.
Trofimov tabled A♥9♥ for a rivered full house and scored the full double up off Nuri who held Q♣9♣ for rivered trips.

Massive Double as Pardo Catches Julien's Bluff

: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a board of 9♦2♠J♠8♠6♥, Nicolas Julien checked from the small blind and Jorge Pardo bet 18,000. Julien check-jammed to send Pardo deep into the tank as he considered calling off for more than 100,000.
Table mate Parker Talbot called the clock and Pardo called as the seconds wound down. Julien showed a bluff with 4♥4♠ for an underpair and Pardo turned over the winner with J♥9♠ for two pair before burying his head in his hands after making the correct call to take down the massive pot.

In a three-way pot with close to 14,000 in the middle on a flop showing 9♣9♠8♣, Romain Delcroix checked from under the gun to Adrian Pacheco, who bet out 6,000 next to act. Jessica Teusl elected on a raise from middle position to 18,000 and only Delcroix made the call.
On the 8♥ turn, Delcroix led out for 25,000 and Teusl took a moment before tossing in chips for the call. The 5♦ completed the board and Delcroix slowed down with a check to Teusl who moved all in, covering the 22,500 remaining for Delcroix, who after a few seconds, let his cards go.

Talbot Chips Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Parker Talbot has only been at the table for a few minutes but has already made his presence known.
"I'm going to have 200,000 in 30 minutes," said Talbot jokingly to the table before being dealt his cards.
Talbot opened the action to 3,000 from under the gun and only Romain Delcroix made the call on the button.
The flop fanned out A♣Q♥2♥ and both players checked their options to the 5♠ turn. Talbot bet out 7,000 and Delcroix came along to the 4♠ river.
Talbot decided on the same bet amount, 7,000, and without much thought, Delcroix tossed in a chip for the call. Talbot rolled over A♥9♣ for top pair and Delcroix tabled A♠7♥ for the same pair but not as strong of a kicker. Talbot collected the pot as he took another drink from his bottle of wine.

Grecu checked on the flop of 8♠6♥J♥ and Marquez continued for 3,000. Grecu laid it down.
