Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Hugo Alfaro Diaz
Hugo Alfaro Diaz

Hugo Alfaro Diaz opened to 5,000 in early position and Di Wu three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Uesile Gatoloai flat-called in the big blind and Diaz came along as well.

The flop fell Q95 and Gatoloai started with a check. Diaz shipped all in for 51,000 and Wu reshoved all in with a bigger stack. Gatoloai gave it some thought but decided to step aside.

Hugo Alfaro Diaz: J10All in
Di Wu: AQ

Diaz flopped a straight draw and needed to hit against the top pair of Wu. The Q paired the board on the turn and the 7 hit the river, sending Diaz to the rail.

Fritzer Barely Survives

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Rip Fritzer
Rip Fritzer

Rip Fritzer was down to just 4,500 chips and ripped all in from under the gun. He picked up three callers who went to a flop of J42. Scott Aulds made a bet of 5,000 on the flop which forced out the other two players.

Rip Fritzer: K3All in
Scott Aulds: 32

Aulds was doing his best impression of the "diaper" made famous by Nicholas Rigby, after flopping a pair to hold the lead.

"Diamonds!" Fritzer cheered for and he found that in the form of the 7 on the turn. The river was the 9 which completed his flush and Fritzer stayed alive, albeit still on the short stack.

Leslie Autenreith
Leslie Autenreith

Michael Hindi opened to 3,500 in early position and was called by Leslie Autenreith on his left. Kole Carr shoved all in for his last 4,500 from the big blind and both players called.

The flop came [ksd7d] and Autenreith was the first to stab at the pot with a bet of 5,000. Hindi folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Kole Carr: 106All in
Leslie Autenreith: KQ

Autenreith flopped top pair and things were looking grim for Carr. The Q on the turn improved his chances but the 4 bricked out on the river.

Duran Flops a Pair to No Avail

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Armando Mesina
Armando Mesina

Armando Mesina raised it up in middle position and Mark Duran defended from the big blind. The flop came Q82 and Duran just ripped all in for around 30,000. Mesina quickly called but neither player wanted to show their cards for a moment.

Mark Duran: J2All in
Armando Mesina: KK

Duran flopped a pair of deuces but was in tough against the pocket kings of Mesina. The 7 and 5 runout changed nothing and Duran was bounced from Day 1a.
