Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Manno
Michael Manno

Scott Fitz-Gerald opened for 4,800 from late position and Matthew Cerbone three-bet to 16,000 on the button. Action was on Michael Manno who jammed for 16,200 from the small blind and was called by both Fitz-Gerald and Cerbone.

The {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was checked to Cerbone who fired out 35,000. Fitz-Gerald thought for a few moments then tossed {q-Hearts}{x-} into the muck.

Michael Manno: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Matthew Cerbone: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Cerbone was ahead with his pocket jacks but Manno could win with any ace or club but neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor the {7-Diamonds} river wer the cards he was looking for as he took for the exit.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Eriquezzo
Ryan Eriquezzo

Sridhar Sangannagari opened for 5,500 from late position and was called by the button player. Action was on Ryan Eriquezzo who three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind and Sangannagari four-bet jammed getting a fold from the button player while Eriquezzo snap-called holding more.

Ryan Eriquezzo: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Sridhar Sangannagari: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Eriquezzo was ahead with his ladies but the {5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} flop add a broadway draw to Sangannagari's hand.

The case queen {q-Spades} fell on the turn improving Eriquezzo to a set but he could still lose if a ten fell on the river.

Luckily for Eriquezzo, the river was the {2-Spades} and he raked in the chips.
