Azar Doubles

Roxana Azar
Roxana Azar

After a player in middle position raised, Roxana Azar shoved from the big blind for an additional 47,500. Her opponent called and tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, but trailed Azar's {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to secure the much needed double up for Azar.

Sudol Score the Double Elimination; Over 300K

Jason Sudol
Jason Sudol

An under-the-gun player moved all in for his last 46,000 and received a call from a player in middle position. Jason Sudol then made the call from the cutoff and three players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The middle-position player checked, and Sudol shrugged as he announced he was all in for 89,000.

The MP player, who only had 64,000, was clearly distraught with Sudol's play. He was visibly upset and scolding at no one in particular. He rose from his chair, eyed the clock, sat back down, and toiled over the decision even more. Eventually he made the call and all the cards were turned up.

Showdown
UTG: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Sudol: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
MP: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

It soon became apparent that the MP player was upset because he was hoping to see his flush draw for free. As it was, Sudol was ahead and put two players at risk. The {J-Clubs} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {8-Spades} river. Sudol's queens held to score the double elimination. Meanwhile, the MP player stormed out of the tournament area.

Who is Sudol you may ask? Well, find out for yourself in the following video:

The Shark is Hungry

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Humberto Brenes has had an excellent last two levels.

After calling an opponent's three-bet preflop, a {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop hit the board. Brenes check-called a bet and when the {9-Spades} hit the turn, a series of raises ensued with Brenes having his opponent all in and at risk. Brenes' {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} took the lead against his opponent's {K-}{K-} and held up up through the {Q-Clubs} river.

Brenes is up to 270,000 now.

Lynn Gilmartin had an entertaining chat with Brenes during the last break for PokerStars.tv:

Level: 16

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Ante: 500

Markovitz Leading

Jonathan Markovitz
Jonathan Markovitz

Picking up the action on an {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades} board with roughly 40,000 in the middle, action was checked to Jonathan Markovitz who bet 25,500. His lone opponent in the hand mulled it over for about 60 seconds before calling.

Markovitz tabled {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} for two pair, besting his opponent's holdings.

Colombo No More

Osvaldo Colombo
Osvaldo Colombo

A pre flop raising war broke out between Osvaldo Colombo and the player on the button that resulted in the former being all in for 104,500. When the cards were turned up, the button, who barely had Colombo covered, saw he was ahead but racing.

Showdown
Button: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Colombo: {A-}{K-}

Colombo, who was sporting his recognizable hat, stood from the table in anticipation of the flop, which came down {6-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The {10-Clubs} turn gave him a couple more out, but the {J-Diamonds} river bricked. Just like that, Colombo was eliminated. He was clearly disappointed as he made his way from the tournament floor, his hands clutching his head.

More Chip Counts

Torres Tumbles

We picked up the action on a {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop with about 70,000 in the middle.

Freddy Torres and Jonathan Markovitz both checked to see the {9-Diamonds} turn. Torres bet 35,000 and after a few moments, Markovitz called. The {2-Hearts} hit the river and Torres announced that he was all in. It didn't take Markovitz long to call, much to the dismay of Torres who sheepishly showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Markovitz had him beat with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} to win the huge pot.

Torres vs. Menendez

Action folded to Julian Menendez in middle position and he put in a raise to 8,500, which Freddy Torres called from the cutoff. IT went check, bet 8,500, call on the {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, leading to the {J-Hearts} on the turn.

Again Menendez checked and Torres bet, this time putting out 16,000. Menendez thought about it for about 90 seconds before conceding the hand to his foe.
