Stearns Wins Four-Bet Pot; Catena Provides First Elimination

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Sam James opened his button to 500, which Isaac Borghouts three-bet to 2,500 in the small blind. Matthew Stearns then bumped it up to 6,500, which only Borghouts called.

Both players checked the 10A5 flop, and Borghouts knuckled the table again on the 5 turn. Stearns flicked in a bet of 6,000 for Borghouts to call.

Borghouts checked a third time on the 8 river, prompting Stearns to pile in a hefty bet of 17,000. Borghouts debated for a few seconds before he called off.

Stearns tabled 1010 for a full house, and Borghouts mucked his cards in defeat.

Over at another table, John Catena became the first player to reach a six-figure stack after he eliminated Gilbert Black.

Harris Doubles Starting Starting Stack

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Brandon Harris
Brandon Harris

Brandon Harris under the gun and Sean Kozak in the hijack were looking at a completed board of 1054Q9, already having amassed a massive pot of 40,000 chips.

Harris then virtually moved all in for 30,000. Kozak confirmed the amount before he quickly called.

Harris showed 1010 for a set of tens, and Kozak revealed AQ before his cards ended in the muck.

"I thought it might be a set, but I can't fold ace-queen," Kozak stated as he saw Harris double up to a six-figure stack.

Wagner's Check-Raise Yields Result

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Big blind Henri Wagner and Ross Flynn in the hijack were heads up on a 105A5 turn. Wagner checked to Flynn, who made a bet of 1,000.

Wagner then raised to 3,500, which Flynn called. The Q river saw Wagner continue the aggression with a pot-sized bet of 9,000. Flynn mulled it over for a few moments before flicking in calling chips.

"Straight," Wagner announced as he showed KJ for Broadway. Flynn just nodded his head in silence and mucked his cards in defeat.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In a three-way three-bet pot worth 6,000, the action checked to Keith Johnson on the button on the 853 flop. He fired a bet of 3,600, seeing Sanford Tabin call under the gun before Szymon Koper folded in the cutoff.

Tabin also checked the 8 turn, but he quickly gave up when Johnson pushed in another 6,000 for a bet. Johnson was sent the pot and added some more chips to his towering stack.

Iliev Leads With Success

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on a 69A6 turn, Radoslav Iliev checked from the big blind to Roger Henderson in the cutoff. Henderson added 2,500 to the 7,000 pot with a bet, and Iliev quickly called to the 10 river.

Iliev then led out for 8,000, and Henderson decided to look his opponent up. Iliev confidently tabled 64 for trip fours, and he collected the pot when Henderson added his cards to the muck.
