Erick Torres

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gabriel Habbaba and Andres Ortega were not afraid to play a big pot as the two clashed in a significant hand.

Andres Ortega began the hand with a raise to 18,000 and faced an all-in from Gabriel Habbaba for well over 700,000. Ortega was undeterred by the size of the pot and made the call to be at risk for 561,000.

Andres Ortega: Q♥Q♣ All in
Gabriel Habbaba: A♣K♥

It was a classic flip in a big spot for both players.

The flop kept Ortega in the lead as it came 4♠9♠6♦.

Ortega's queens stayed safe on the 6♠ turn, but Habbaba hit the river when the A♥ peeled to improve Habbaba to a better pair as he stood up in excitement, as Ortega got up from his seat in dismay.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Francisco Anzar raised to 49,000 from the small blind and faced an all-in for 104,000 from Douglas Avenell out of the big blind. Anzar made the call to put Avenell at risk.

Douglas Avenell: A♠3♦ All in
Francisco Anzar: 8♦7♣

Avenell held the slight lead, but the flop gave Anzar additional outs as it came 9♣Q♥6♦ to give him a straight draw.

The turn was bad news for Avenell as the 10♠ peeled to give Anzar a straight. The inconsequential 4♥ hit the river to award the pot to Anzar and eliminate Avenell from contention.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jeremy Clemons opened with a raise preflop to 16,000 from early position and was called by Long Hoang on the button.

The flop came 5♣5♥3♦, which caused fireworks as Clemons and Hoang got the chips in on the flop with Clemons at risk for 112,000.

Jeremy Clemons: A♣A♦ All in
Long Hoang: A♠3♠

Clemons was well ahead with his pocket aces and needed to fade a three to stay alive.

The K♣ turn and the 4♣ river provided no drama as Clemons chipped up once again as he has began to gain a foothold here on Day 2.

Erick Torres

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A three-way all-in broke out after Long Hoang raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and faced two all-ins from Jonathan Fagin for 47,000 in the small blind and Jeremy Clemons for 43,000 in the big blind. Hoang called to put both at risk.

Jonathan Fagin: Q♣10♥ All in
Jeremy Clemons: 8♥8♣ All in
Long Hoang: A♥Q♠

Clemons came out of the pack well ahead after the flop came 7♣5♠8♦ to give Clemons a set.

The 6♣ turn was ominous as it gave Fagin a straight draw, but the K♦ river avoided any pitfalls for Clemons as he secured the triple up.

Fagin was eliminated as Hoang scooped a small side pot.
