Proudfoot and Coleman Continue to Battle

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Romain Lewis opened to 1,000 from early position and was called by David Coleman and Jonathan Proudfoot from the blinds.

Coleman and Proudfoot had recently chopped a pot where the former was the shorter stack. Coleman had added to his stack since then, at what seemed to be at Proudfoot's expense as his stack had reduced in size.

On the {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Coleman checked before Proudfoot led out for 800. Lewis quickly folded but Coleman called to continue their blossoming rivalry.

Coleman check-called for 1,700 on the {7-Clubs} turn and did the same for 4,200 on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Proudfoot could only show ten-high with his {10-}{9-}. Coleman tabled his {k-Spades}{8-Spades} and claimed the pot with eights and sevens.

Holz Wins at Showdown

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Fedor Holz
Fedor Holz

Fedor Holz raised to 1,000 from the hijack and was called by Andrew Moreno and Philip Shing in the blinds.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and action was checked through to the {10-Diamonds} turn. Moreno led for 2,200 and Holz was the only caller.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and Moreno bet 1,500. Holz thought for a bit before calling. Moreno showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for tens and fours while Holz showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for jacks and fours to take down the pot before break.

Plante Gets Paid by Seiji

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Heads-up to the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} river with some 5,500 in the middle, Santiago Plante overbet for 7,800. Rodrigo Seiji was his only opponent and quickly called to get shown the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for aces and nines by Plante. That won the pot as Seiji took a major blow to his stack.

Duczak Gets A Double

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Aaron Duczak opened to 1,100 from the button before David Coleman three-bet to 3,800. Duczak then jammed for 22,500 and Coleman called to put the Canadian at risk.

Aaron Duczak: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
David Coleman: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Neither player connected on the {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} runout meaning Duczak's ace-high was the best hand.

Small Pots for Cloutier and Murphy

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Anton Astapau raised to 1,000 from under the gun and was called only by Rock Cloutier from one seat over. The {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked to Cloutier, who bet 3,400 to win the pot.

One table over, a three-bet pot saw Andrew Moreno bet the {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop as a single T-5,000 chip was out in front. Dean Murphy raised to 7,100 on the button and Moreno folded.

Vang Gives Up on River

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was 5,500 in the pot and Kou Vang was in early position against Diego Ventura in the big blind.

The board read {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Vang bet 4,500 when checked to. Ventura called.

The {3-Diamonds} was the river and Ventura checked. Vang eyed up Ventura's stack while in the tank before checking back. Ventura showed {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to take down the pot as Vang mucked.

Gathy Turns Broadway

Michael Gathy
Michael Gathy

With 7,500 in the middle on the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts} board, Michael Gathy check-jammed for 12,600 from the big blind after John Krpan bet 2,500 from the button. Krpan wasn't a fan of the situation but called to put Gathy at risk of elimination.

Michael Gathy: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
John Krpan: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Krpan needed a ten to chop the pot but the {6-Diamonds} river confirmed Gathy's double up.

Wang Felted by Holz

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Michael Wang moved all-in for the last 5,100 via open shove and it folded all the way to Fedor Holz in the big blind. The not-so-retired poker superstar mulled it over for 30 seconds and then made the call.

Michael Wang: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Fedor Holz: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop gave both players straight draws. Nothing changed with the {4-Spades} turn but the {q-Clubs} river spelled the end for Wang on the first entry.
