David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ankit Ahuja raised to 13,000 in the cutoff before John Wasnock three-bet to 28,000 on the button. Shuofei Geng then moved all in from the big blind and Ahuja folded, but Wasnock quickly called for 148,000.

John Wasnock: K♠K♣ All in
Shuofei Geng: A♥K♦

Wasnock was ahead with his kings as the flop came 2♣6♣Q♣. The K♥ fell on the turn to give Wasnock top set, and Geng was already drawing dead before the 2♦ river as Wasnock doubled up.

Ekrem Bozkurt: 6♠6♥ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: K♥K♦

"Yes!!!" Bozkurt shouted as the flop of 10♠10♣6♦ hit the felt to give him a full house. The 7♥ and 9♠ runout was no help to Ausmus who passed over a double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Richard Green bet 13,000 from middle position on a flop of J♥4♠A♣ and David Coleman called in the small blind.

Both players checked the 2♣ turn, and Coleman then led out for 58,000 on the 2♦ river. Green came back with an all-in shove, sending Coleman deep into the tank.

Coleman used a few of his time banks before calling for 320,000. Green turned over J♣J♦ for a full house, and Coleman tossed A♦7♦ into the muck and made a quick exit from the table.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A completed board of A♦5♠5♦7♠A♥ was spread across the felt with around 300,000 in the middle. Carl Shaw checked from the big blind and Joshua Mammen slid out a bet of 200,000 in the cutoff.

"Really?" Shaw questioned as he leaned back in his chair. "You have an ace?"

A few moments had passed and Mammen started some table talk of his own. "I could have a flush draw," he hinted, which got a chuckle from Shaw who then quickly folded.

"I have neither," Mammen continued as he turned over K♠Q♥ for complete air.

"Wow! That's savage," one player at the table chimed in as the rest of the table gasped.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chance Kornuth was under the gun with a bet of 47,000 in front of him on a board of 6♣2♣3♥J♥, while Kai Nicholls moved all in from the cutoff.

Kornuth tanked for several minutes, burning through multiple time banks before he called for his last 280,000. He showed J♠10♣ for top pair, but Nicholls had A♣J♣ and was ahead with his ace-kicker.

The river was the 4♥ and Nicholls took the pot to send Kornuth to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Robert Burlacu raised to 12,000 in early position and Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 33,000 in the hijack. The action was back on Burlacu who just called to see a flop of A♠4♠2♥. Burlacu checked to Hallaert who continued with a bet of 15,000. Burlacu then raised to 40,000 and Hallaert called.

The turn was the K♦ and Burlacu counted out a bet of 41,000. Hallaert still called and the 3♠ completed the board. Burlacu dropped in a bet of 100,000, more than enough to cover the remaining 44,000 in front of Hallaert. After using a time bank, Hallaert reluctantly mucked his cards.

"There's a bluff going around Bucharest," Shannon Shorr chimed in.

"I don't live there anymore!" Burlacu responded.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a blind versus blind confrontation, Matthew Beinner led out for 55,000 on a board of 4♣K♦3♥9♥ and Cherish Andrews called in the big blind.

The river was the 8♥ and Beinner bet another 220,000. Andrews used up a few of her time banks, but eventually tossed her cards into the muck.

"Six!" Chino Rheem shouted at Beinner.

"Seven-five of hearts!" Chance Kornuth added. Beinner then allowed Rheem to choose one of his cards, and Rheem slammed down the 6♥.

"See, told you," Rheem said.

"You and Chino are the best at that, finessing information," tablemate Frank Brannan said to Kornuth after the hand.

At another table, Mike Vanier was deep in the tank as Dan Smith had raised to 125,000 in the hijack on a board of 8♠7♥6♥7♠4♥ after Vanier bet 22,000 from the big blind. Vanier ended up using four time banks until calling.

Smith showed A♣K♥ for ace-high, while Vanier had 6♣3♠ for two pair to win the pot and leave Smith nursing a short stack.

Matthew Beinner	400,000 77,000	77,000
