Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Antoine Prince opened to 1,200 from early position before Event #1 Runner-up Nikhil Sunku three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff. In the small blind, Michael Graham cold-called while Prince got out of the way.

On the 6♠4♣3♥ flop, Graham check-called a bet of 3,000 from Sunku.

The turn brought the 2♠. Graham checked once more to Sunku who jammed for 19,200. Graham would spend over two minutes in the tank before he announced call.

Nikhil Sunku: Q♠Q♣ All in
Michael Graham: A♣Q♥

Sunku had to fade three outs on the 7♥ river as he collected the full double.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 1,600 and Ali Imsirovic flatted in the cutoff.

The Q♥9♥3♣ flop checked through to the K♠ turn which saw the hijack lead for 1,500 before Imsirovic raised to 6,500, and the hijack quickly called.

On the 8♣ river, the hijack checked to Imsirovic who jammed for 27,000 effective as the covering stack. His opponent went into a deep tank before folding A♠K♥ face-up. Imsirovic told his tablemate to flip one card and he chose the J♥ as Imsirovic dragged the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ali Imsirovic opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Terakun Karnchanakphan in the cutoff, as well as the button, small blind, and big blind.

On the 7♠4♠2♦ flop, the action checked to Karnchanakphan who bet 1,500. The button, small blind, and big blind called before Imsirovic raised to 6,000. Karnchanakphan and the big blind called.

Imsirovic fired again for 15,000 on the J♣ turn and both opponents called to create of around 75,000.

On the 10♦ river, Imsirovic fired a final barrel for 50,000 and both opponents folded, with the big blind showing A♠3♠ for a missed flush draw. This prompted Imsirovic to table K♠2♠ for a lesser missed flush and bottom pair as his bluff got through in a massive pot, despite having the big blind beat.
