Pavliuk's Hand Killed
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Tito Ortiz raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and saw James Salmon reraise to 38,000 in the small blind. Roman Pavliuk cold-called, and Ortiz mucked to leave it heads up. The flop was 
, and Salmon bet 32,000. Pavliuk again called. Both checked the turn, and a completed the board. Salmon fired a pot-sized bet of 167,000, about half of his stack. Pavliuk would have to put in almost all of his chips if he called, so he took a long time to think. After about four minutes, someone called a clock. Pavliuk used his allotted minute without making a decision, so Salmon won the pot.

Wozniczek and Masis Off to the Races
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Robin Luca Wozniczek got his stack of 250,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Alberto Fonseca Masis, who barely had him covered with 263,000.
Masis: 
Wozniczek:
It was a big flip, and the proverbial coin came down in favor of the tens after the board ran out a clean 
.
Masis got the remainder of his stack all in on the next hand and fell when his failed to overcome the 
of Michael Lech after a 
run out.
