Zisimopoulos Takes Some From Schwartz

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Georgios Zisimopoulos just called a raise from Noah Schwartz from the blinds, and the flop brought out {2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

Zisimopoulos checked to Schwartz who bet 1,400 and the Greek pro made the call.

On the turn the {5-Spades} hit and both players checked, and the {4-Spades} fell on the river.

Zisimopoulos threw out a small bet of 500 on the river, and Schwartz folded right away.

Antonius Takes It on the Turn

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Action folded to Olivier Busquet on the button and he opened for 1,100. Jeff Rossiter called from the small blind, Patrik Antonius did the same from the big, and the three players took a flop of {2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, which they all checked.

When the {3-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn, Rossiter led out for 2,600, Antonius raised to 9,000, and Busquet folded. Rossiter then followed suit and released his hand.

Hall Takes One From Deeb

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Chris Hunichen raised before the flop after which Tom Hall, on his direct left, three-bet from the hijack to 2,250. Shaun Deeb put in a four-bet to 5,250 and Hunichen folded right away, but Hall made the call.

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and both players checked until Hall bet 6,750 on the river. Deeb, with a pained look on his face, tanked for quite some time before he eventually flicked his cards into the muck.

Hall mucked as well, and quietly he raked in the chips.

McKeehen Doubles Kenney

A player raised to 1,000 and Joe McKeehen called after which Bryn Kenney came along as well from the button. The flop brought out {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} and McKeehen bet 1,800 after the initial raiser checked, and only Kenney called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and McKeehen bet another 4,800, which was called by Kenney once again.

The river brought the {K-Spades} and McKeehen now checked to Kenney, who's chasing his third High Roller final table of the week. Kenney moved all in for 17,000 and McKeehen went into the tank for a long time before calling.

Kenney showed {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for trips, and McKeehens' losing {K-}{J-} was tabled as well.

Antonius' Stay Short and Not That Sweet

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

In one of the hands of Level 5, Olivier Busquet, who has been on fire as of late, raised to 1,100 from the button and was met by a three-bet to 3,900 by Patrik Antonius from the big blind. Busquet pushed back with a four-bet to 8,600, Antonius five-bet to 18,500, and Busquet shipped.

Antonius hit the tank, but eventually called off for roughly the 50,000 starting stack with {q-}{q-}. Unfortunately for him, Busquet held the goods with {a-}{a-} and the pocket rockets held.

Big Slick Doesn't Do the Trick for Sanchez

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jake Abdalla opened for 1,000 in early position and was met by a three-bet to 2,550 by Georgios Sotiropoulos, who was fresh off winning the LAPT Bahamas Main Event. Diego Sanchez then four-bet to 7,550 from the big blind, both his opponents called, and the flop came down {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

All three players checked, the dealer burned and turned the {a-Spades}, and Sanchez checked. Abdalla bet 7,300, Sotiropoulos folded, and Sanchez check-raised all in for 16,575. Abdalla snap-called and Sanchez discovered the bad news.

Sanchez: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Abdalla: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Sanchez had turned top pair, but he was drawing dead to the flopped set of Abdalla. The meaningless {7-Diamonds} was run out on the river for good measure, and Sanchez hit the rail.
