Threes Good for Chang

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Carlos Chang opened to 240,000 in middle position and called a three-bet to 530,000 from Joshua Steiner in the hijack. Both checked the {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, and Chang check-called 375,000 on the {q-Clubs} turn. Check-check on the {8-Hearts}, and Chang flipped over {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Steiner couldn't beat it.

Top Set, Minimal Value for Chang

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Carlos Chang raised and got two callers before the flop, and everyone checked a {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. On the {10-Hearts} turn, Chang bet 200,000 after Darius Studdard checked in the big blind. Both opponents called, and everyone checked the {6-Hearts}. Studdard tossed {k-}{10-} in but it was far from good as Chang showed down {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.

Final Table Bubble for Nagasako

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Junichi Nagasako
Junichi Nagasako

Junichi Nagasako defended his big blind from a cutoff open by John Mann, and {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} flopped. Nagasako shoved all in for about 550,000 and Mann shrugged and flicked in a chip to call.

Mann: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Nagasako: {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Mann needed a seven, and the {q-Clubs} missed him but the {7-Diamonds} was what he needed. Nagasako shot out of his seat in disgust, and the remaining players are drawing for the final table.

"He Lives With Ace-King"

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Lenny Talerico jammed in the cutoff for 530,000 and Joshua Steiner called on his left.

"I hope I'm live," Talerico said, showing {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

He wasn't, as Steiner had {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, keeping Steiner best.

"He lives with ace-king," someone said, of Steiner's propensity to show down big slick.
