Keven Stammen bet 1,500 into two opponents on {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} out of the small blind and a player in middle position called. On the {9-Spades} river, Stammen fired again for 4,000 and his opponent called fairly quickly.

Stammen showed {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} for ace high but his opponent had an identical {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Players are now on break for 15 minutes.

James Pupillo Puts the Squeeze On

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player opened to 1,300 in early position and got two callers before action folded to James Pupillo in the small blind. He reraised to 6,300 and the opener mucked. The first caller took some thinking time before mucking as well, and the last player followed suit.

With four players in the pot and {3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} on the felt, a player in early position bet 5,400 into a pot of around 20,000. Eddie Ochana called in the cutoff, as did a player on the button. The river was a {5-Clubs} and Ochana ripped in for 18,000 after the first player checked. The player on the button called and the third player tanked a long time and folded.

Ochana showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and it was a winner.
