Brett Slezak

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Noel Rodriguez opened to 50,000 under the gun and Nicholas Quazzo put his final 15,000 in next to act. Scott Sanders called from the big blind.

Sanders check-called a 40,000 bet on the K♠5♠3♥ flop.

The 7♦ turn checked through to the 8♣ river which saw Sanders fold to a bet of 170,000.

Nicholas Quazzo: K♣6♦ All in
Noel Rodriguez: K♦8♦

Rodriguez's two pair were good to eliminate Quazzo.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ashley Sleeth opened to 40,000 from early position before Ismael Gonzalez three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack. In the small blind, Michael Lin cold four-bet to 250,000, Sleeth jammed for 415,000, and Ismael folded what he said was JxJx and Lin called.

Ashley Sleeth: A♠A♣ All in
Michael Lin: A♥A♦

All of the aces were gone as the 7♥4♥2♠ flop brought a backdoor sweat. However, the 5♠ turn secured the chop to the 7♦ river as they chopped of Gonzalez's chips.

Cooper Pips Caucau to Double

Brett Slezak

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jimmie Cooper opened to 35,000 under the gun before Ratu Caucau three-bet to 90,000 from the cutoff. With the action back on Cooper, he jammed for 370,000. Caucau went deep into the tank for over a minute before he finally slid in the chips to call as the covering stack.

Jimmie Cooper: Q♠Q♣ All in
Ratu Caucau: J♦J♣

It was a cooler scenario with Cooper having the best of it. Nothing changed on the 6♦5♥2♥10♠7♥ runout as the queens held for a massive double.
