No River Value for Pak

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gerard Carbo raised to 160,000 from the cutoff with 9♣7♣, and Edward Pak defended his big blind with 6♠6♣

The dealer laid out a 4♣8♥6♦, and with his flopped set, Pak checked to Carbo, who bet 180,000, which Pak called.

Pak checked once again on the A♥ turn, and this time Carbo checked behind. The 3♠ completed the board, and Pak led out for 580,000. Left with just nine-high after the runout, Carbo folded.

Dwyer Gets Tricky

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Vasyl Pidhrusnyi raised to 200,000 in the small blind, and Michael Dwyer called in the big blind.

Pidhrusnyi continued for 130,000 on a K♠2♠7♥ flop, and Dwyer called again. The turn brought the 6♦, and Pidhrusnyi fired again, this time for 325,000. Undeterred, Dwyer quickly called.

The 4♠ completed the board, and Pidhrusnyi opted to check. When Dwyer checked behind, Pidhrusnyi tabled 4♦3♦ for a rivered pair. Dwyer flipped over Q♥Q♦ for a better pair to claim the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Xiaosheng Zheng raised to 160,000 from early position with 10♥10♣ and faced resistance when Manuel Ferrari three-bet to 840,000 with Q♦Q♣ from the small blind, which he called.

Ferrari continued for 450,000 on the 2♦J♠K♦ flop, and Zheng called again. The Q♥ turn didn't slow Ferrari down, as he continued with another bet, this time for 1,200,000. Zheng gave it serious consideration, using three time extensions, but ultimately chose to fold.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With 8♣6♥, Nicolas Chouity raised to 200,000 from the small blind and Edward Pak called in the big blind holding K♣2♣.

The dealer spread the A♣4♣10♣ flop and both players checked to see the K♠ land on the turn. Chouity put out a delayed continuation-bet of 190,000, which Pak called.

The board-pairing 4♥ arrived on the river and Chouity checked. Pak bet 460,000, which was enough to get Chouity to fold.
