Mugar Catches Zimmerman Making a Move; "Fantastic Fox" Catches a Miracle

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Peter Mugar bet 5,000 from the cutoff on a flop of A♣5♣3♣ and Diane Zimmerman raised to 18,000 in the big blind. Mugar called and the 9♦ fell on the turn.

Zimmerman then bet 23,000 and Mugar again called. The river was the 10♠ and Zimmerman pushed all in for 100,000. Mugar snap-called and turned over 10♣7♣ for a flush, while Zimmerman could only show 4♣4♥ as she headed to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Brett Bassock got his remaining 240,000 in the middle on a flop of 4♠Q♣A♣. "I have queens," Joshua Mammen told him as he put him at risk.

Brett Bassock: A♠Q♥ All in
Joshua Mammen: Q♦Q♠

Bassock had flopped top two pair, but Mammen was ahead with his set. Bassock was drawing only to one of the last two aces in the deck heading to the K♠ turn, and he found his miracle on the A♥ river to make a full house and double.

"Fantastic Fox hits an ace to double," tablemate Javier Zarco said.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jeremy Halaska bet 16,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 5♥10♠J♣ before Michael Gathy raised to 40,000 under the gun. Halaska then moved all in for 112,000, and Gathy snap-called.

Jeremy Halaska: Q♥Q♣ All in
Michael Gathy: J♦10♦

Halaska's two queens had been outflopped by Gathy's top two pair, but the 5♣ turn gave him queens and fives to retake the lead. The river was the 2♥ and Halaska doubled up.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ryan Riess raised to 8,000 in middle position and was called by Sam Laskowitz on his left. Jonathan Wang three-bet to 21,000 on the button and only Laskowitz called.

The flop fell J♣9♦5♦ and both players checked to the 10♠ on the turn. Laskowitz led out with a bet of 30,000 and Wang called to see the Q♦ on the river.

Laskowitz checked this time and Wang announced all in. Laskowitz was put to the test for his remaining 50,000 chips and he went into the tank for well over a minute. Finally, he made the call and Wang turned over A♠K♠ for an ace-high straight while Laskowitz held K♣Q♥ for just a king-high straight.

Jonathan Wang	262,000 5,000	5,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Phillip Latimer opened to 8,000 in early position and Sergio Aido moved all in for 21,000 on his left. Han Feng reshoved all in for 136,000 on the button which got Latimer to fold.

Sergio Aido: Q♠J♠ All in
Han Feng: A♣J♣

The flop came A♠K♣Q♦ to give both players a pair but it was Feng who held the dominating lead. The 2♠ on the turn gave Aido a flush draw but the 7♦ on the river bricked out.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 6♠5♣3♥, Matthew Sabia led out for 12,000 from the big blind before Brett Bassock raised to 26,000 in middle position. Sabia then moved all in for 100,000, and Bassock snap-called.

Matthew Sabia: 7♦5♦ All in
Brett Bassock: K♥K♣

Sabia showed a pair of fives but needed to improve against Bassock's two kings. The A♠ turn was no help, while the Q♠ river sealed Sabia's elimination.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yang Li raised to 8,000 in the hijack and was called by Joey Weissman on the button and Dylan Linde in the small blind.

Li bet 20,000 on the K♦10♥8♥ flop and only Weissman called. The turn was the 9♠ and Li moved all in.

Weissman had around 65,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes until another tablemate called the clock. His 30-second countdown nearly reached zero before Weissman tossed his cards into the muck, and Li took the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dylan Linde	250,000 104,000	104,000

Yang Li	160,000 141,000	141,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and Mohammad Rohani three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Song responded with a four-bet shove for around 75,000 and Rohani snapped him off.

Stephen Song: 8♥8♣ All in
Mohammad Rohani: A♥5♥

Song was in good shape to double up and the flop of Q♠10♠9♥ left it that way. Rohani was still looking to catch an ace but it was the 5♠, 5♦ runout that actually gave Rohani trip fives to eliminate Song.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sergio Aido limped in from the small blind and Jacob Mendelsohn checked his option in the big blind. The flop came K♣10♣8♣ and Aido led out with a min-bet of 4,000. Mendelsohn called and the 7♥ landed on the turn.

Aido tossed in another bet of 10,000 and Mendelsohn still called to see the K♥ on the river. Aido fired out one more bet of 10,000 and Mendelsohn took a minute before sliding his cards to the muck.
