Balzano Blazes in Three-Way All In

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Vinicius Lima bet 3,500 from the cutoff on a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop after Paul Balzano checked in middle position. Gina Stagnitto raised to 7,500 and Balzano cold-called. Lima tossed in 18,800, and Stagnitto called. Balzano moved all in for 26,725, and Lima shoved over that. Stagnitto got it in as well for a bit more than Balzano had.

Lima: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Balzano: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Stagnitto: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Balzano faded everything as the {6-Spades} turn was followed by a {q-Spades} river, and Lima took a small side pot to bust Stagnitto.

Barbero and Schanbacher Join

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jack Schanbacher and Nacho Barbero took seats at one of the tables, and they played a recent pot against each other where Schanbacher opened for 500 and got three callers before Barbero squeezed it to 3,000 in the big blind. Only Schanbacher called, and the flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Schanbacher bet 2,500 after Barbero checked, and the Argentinian gave it up.

Kroon Ducks the Trap

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante
Nick Yunis
Nick Yunis

One player recently bought in: Nick Yunis, who ran up a monster stack bigger than that bagged by chip leader Sam Panzica in just eight levels before busting out.

He just tried to set a trap for Mark Kroon, defending his big blind with {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and checking down a board of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, but Kroon checked back the whole way with sevens.

Those two both enjoy playing plenty of pots, so expect them to tangle early and often.

Three-Bet Pot to Stagnitto

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Gina Stagnitto raised to 525 under the gun and got one caller on the button before Vinicius Lima made it 2,950. Stagnitto called, as did the third player, and they saw a {3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} flop. Lima checked and Stagnitto pushed all in. The player on the button shoved for about 21,000, and Lima tank-folded.

"You're ahead, girl," the player on the button assured Stagnitto, showing {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

It was good, though, as Stagnitto had {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. But running {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} made her a straight, causing the player on the button to take a walk away from the table.

Kroon Tries a Bluff

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Mark Kroon check-called 800 on a {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, and he came out betting with 1,250 on the {9-Diamonds} turn. His opponent called, and Kroon fired 3,075 more on the {4-Clubs} river. He was quickly called again, and he showed {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for a missed flush draw. His opponent had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Stagnitto Caught Bluffing

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Vinicius Lima bet 750 into three opponents after a {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop, and only Gina Stagnitto, on his left, called. Both checked the {5-Clubs} turn, and Lima checked the {6-Spades}. Stagnitto bet big, 3,200, and Lima quickly called. Stagnitto showed {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for an airballed straight draw, and Lima showed {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.
