Level 1 : 250/500, 60 ante

Action folded around to Isaac Haxton who raised to 1,200 from the cutoff and was called by Daniel Dvoress from the button before Artur Martirosian three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind.

Martirosian continued for 11,050, then 25,165 after the {2-Diamonds} turn, Haxton called both bets and the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Martirosian didn't slow down as he jammed for 58,775 and then showed {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} after Haxon quickly mucked his hand.

Malinowski's Gamble Doesn't Payoff

Level 2 : 300/600, 75 ante

Wiktor Malinowski opened with a 1,200 raise from the cutoff and then called the 4,200 three-bet Pablo Navarro tossed out on the button.

Wiktor Malinowski: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Malinowski only held four outs after Navarro flopped a set and the {8-Clubs} river wasn't one of them as Navarro collected the early double-up.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Rolle Falls Before Money Bubble

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Sami Kelopuro opened for 38,800 from the hijack and was called by Nick Petrangelo from the cutoff before Benjamin Rolle squeezed for 534,828 from the small blind.

Action folded back around to Petrangelo who called and both players hands were revealed.

Benjamin Rolle: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
