Tyler Boyer

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action folded to Maria Ho on the button who raised to 1,000. She was called by Brian Battistone in the small blind, and once the big blind folded it was the two players heads up.

Both players checked after the 9♦Q♠6♠ flop, which brought the 5♠ on the turn. Battistone check-called a bet of 2,200 from Ho.

After the 5♦ on the river both players checked to showdown. Battistone tabled 2♠2♣ to take the pot with two pair, fives and deuces as Ho mucked her hand.

Justin Sternberg opened to 1,200 in the hijack and Jon Kyte made the call on the button. Maria Ho came along in the small blind, as did Brian Battistone in the big blind.

Sternberg led out for 5,100 on the 9♦ turn before Kyte slid out a raise to 12,000. The call was made and the 7♣ river was turned over.

Both players checked it down and Sternberg showed K♦8♦ for two pair, eights and sevens. Kyte revealed J♠9♠ for a better two pair to take down the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ehsan Amiri opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from middle position, which was called by Adekunle Olonoh in the hijack, and Mitchell Garshofsky on the button. Then Nicholas Seward three-bet all in for 7,000 from the small. Amiri and Olonoh folded, while Garshofsky made the call to put Seward at risk.

Nicholas Seward: A♦A♣ All in
Mitchell Garshofsky: 6♠6♥

Seward was down to just 700 chips a few hands prior, and just double up the hand before with pocket aces. The board ran out Q♠4♥2♠8♥2♦ and the pocket aces of Seward were still best, to give him another double up and a new life in the tournament.

Scott Eskenazi opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from middle position. He was called by Fabian Gumz in the cutoff, and Sam Grafton on the button.

All three players checked after the 6♠10♣Q♦ flop, which brought the 2♣ on the turn. Eskenazi checked to Gumz who bet out 1,600, which was called by Grafton, and Eskenazi folded.

After the J♣ on the river, Gumz checked to Grafton who bet out 3,000. Gums then elected to raise to 15,000. After thinking over his decision, Grafton three-bet to 31,000. Gumz used majority of the 30 second shot clock before mucking his hand to give the pot to Grafton.
