Three-Bet for Ortiz

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

A player in middle position opened for 1,400 and Julian Stuer called from the small blind. Big blind Tito Ortiz came along for the ride as well and the three of them got a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Stuer checked but Ortiz lead out for 1,100. The initial raiser raised to 2,200 and Stuer was quick to fold.

"Raise!" said Ortiz as he made it 10,100.

The initial raiser tanked for a bit and Ortiz said: "You have a big stack over there, you can afford it!"

Ortiz then promised to show if his opponent would fold, and kept his promise as the initial raiser folded and Ortiz flipped open {7-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair.

Borrego Mucks

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Action folded around to Jessica Borrego in the small blind and she opted to limp in. Anthony Zinno was in the big blind and checked.

The flop came {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Borrego led out for 625. Zinno called.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and both players checked to the river, which was the {j-Clubs}. Borrego led out for 3,000. Zinno thought for about a minute and eventually called. Borrego took one last look at her cards before launching them into the muck, sending the pot Zinno's way.

Riess and Kitai Getting Going at Table 3

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Ryan Riess bet 6,600 from middle position on a completed board of {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and got a tank-call from an opponent on the button. Riess turned over {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair and dragged the pot.

The next hand Riess opened for a raise to 1,200 and got four callers. The top came {10-}{8-}{10-} and action checked to a player in the hijack, who bet 1,200. Davidi Kitai put in a small raise to what looked like 3,300 and then called when the bettor jammed for about 9,000. Kitai had {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for trips, putting him miles ahead of {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, and the turn sealed the deal for him.

Yaroshevskyy Drags Huge Pot

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
PokerStars Championship Panama
PokerStars Championship Panama

A player opened under the gun and got three-bet by Vidmantas Beliauskas on the button, who put in 4,000. Igor Yaroshevskyy called that bet in the small blind, and the opener mucked. Yaroshevskyy checked the {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, and Beliauskas bet 4,000 again. Yaroshevskyy made it 15,000 to go, and his opponent instantly put in 35,000 more. Yaroshevskyy shoved for Beliauskas' last few chips and got a quick call.

Yaroshevskyy showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for top set. Beliauskas let out what sounded like a curse and flung his cards high in the air. One {a-Hearts} landed on the felt, while the {a-Clubs} landed stuck between another player's back and his chair. Once it was retrieved, the dealer brought forth the {6-Spades} and {k-Diamonds}, and Yaroshevskyy has one of the biggest stacks in the room now.

Ace-High is No Good for Zinno

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Pawel Zielony was in early position and raised to 1,200. A player in middle position called, as did Jessica Borrego from the small blind and Anthony Zinno from the big blind.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and all four players checked to the turn, which was the {8-Clubs}. Borrego checked, and Zinno bet 2,500. Zielony called, and both the player in middle position and Borrego folded.

The river was the {8-Spades}. Zinno grabbed a chunk of chips worth 8,000 from his stack and moved them into the middle. Zielony went into the tank and eventually called.

Zinno tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for ace-high and Zielony showed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair, tens and eights, sending the pot his way.

Ortiz Making Waves

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
Tito Ortiz
Tito Ortiz

We caught the action from the flop as the big blind checked on {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Tito Ortiz (under the gun) bet 2,000. He got called in two spots; the hijack and button wanted to see a turn, the big blind folded.

Ortiz bet another 3,000 on the {7-Spades} turn and again both opponents committed as well.

On the river {9-Hearts}, Ortiz bet a hefty 20,000. This time, both opponents mucked.

Double for Tollerene

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

With around 15,000 in the pot, a player in the big blind pushed in enough chips to set Ben Tollerene all in if he wanted to call off on a completed board of {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Tollerene leaned forward, counted his stack, and then pushed the 7,500 or so in. His opponent showed down {a-Spades}{2-Spades} for trips, but Tollerene's {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} meant he had a higher kicker that played.
