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 10♥A♠5♣ 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 10♠10♣ 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.

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 10♠5♥4♣Q♥9♥, 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 10♥10♣ for a set of tens, and Kozak revealed A♦Q♠ 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 10♣5♠A♣5♦ 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 K♣J♥ for Broadway. Flynn just nodded his head in silence and mucked his cards in defeat.

Johnson Continues Hot Start

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 8♥5♠3♦ 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 6♠9♣A♦6♥ 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 6♦4♦ for trip fours, and he collected the pot when Henderson added his cards to the muck.

Peralta called to the 8♠ river, which the players checked to showdown. Pastor could only show queen-high with Q♦9♦, leaving Peralta to take the pot with A♠A♦.
