Sontheimer Scores a Double

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Steffen Sontheimer opened to 7,000 from middle position getting calls from Mikita Badziakouski on the button and Greg Jensen in the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Spades} and Sontheimer continued with a bet of 16,000 which just Badziakouski called. Sontheimer checked when the {6-Spades} hit on the turn and called a bet worth 20,000 from Badziakouski.

The {10-Hearts} completed the board and Sontheimer check-shoved for 91,800 after Badziakouski bet 70,000. The bet wasn't much more but it was clear Badziakouski had been caught. He would end up putting in the rest and mucked his {k-}{j-} when Sontheimer tabled the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Haxton Stacks Mandavia

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Larry Greenberg just informed the PokerNews Live Reporting team that Isaac Haxton recently felted Ankush Mandavia. The two players got all the chips in the middle on the river; Haxton held a flush that came in backdoor and Mandavia had rivered a straight with {7-}{5-}. Haxton has chipped up substantially since the start of Day 2 play and now sits at just under 500,000.

Zinno Calls Negreanu's Bluff

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

There were about 30,000 chips already in the middle and the board read {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} when we got to the table. Daniel Negreanu was in the small blind and heads-up against Anthony Zinno, who was on the button. Both players put in 7,000 chips on the flop.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and they both checked.

The {Q-Spades} fell on the river and Negreanu bet 30,000. After brief consideration, Zinno called, and Negreanu tabled {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Zinno flipped over {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and took the pot with his overpair.

Vaskaboinikau Out of Time

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 7,000 from late position and Jonathan Jaffe called in the cutoff. The flop fanned out {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and Jaffe called Vaskaboinikau's continuation bet of 6,000. Vaskaboinikau bet 22,000 when the {6-Spades} landed on the turn only to see Jaffe raise to 55,000. Down to just two timebank chips, Vaskaboinikau used both of them but eventually found a fold.

Kaverman Dominates Krpan

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

John Krpan opened to 7,000 from early position and the action was folded around to Byron Kaverman in the big blind. He pushed forward a stack of chips, enough to put Krpan at risk should he call. Krpan thought for a little bit and then eventually made the call.

Byron Kaverman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
John Krpan: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Kaverman was in a dominating position and when the flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Krpan was left drawing slim. The {3-Hearts} on the turn sealed the deal and the insignificant {5-Hearts} completed the board. Kaverman had Krpan slightly out-chipped and Krpan headed to the rail.

Simao Applies Pressure

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

When we got to the table the board read {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and there were about 90,000 chips in the middle. Stephen Chidwick was on the button and facing a decision for 50,000 from Joao Simao, who was in the cutoff. After some consideration, Chidwick folded, and Simao took the pot.
