David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Russ Dunlevy limped in from the cutoff before AJ Johnson raised to 40,000 in the big blind. Dunlevy then reraised to 90,000, and Johnson called.

Both players checked the Q♠8♠9♥ flop. Dunlevy then bet 105,000 on the 5♠ turn, and Johnson quickly folded.

At the other table, Michael Stroman was all in for 73,000 from the big blind and up against Neal Liptak in the cutoff.

Michael Stroman: K♦10♠ All in
Neal Liptak: K♥J♥

Stroman was dominated but took the lead on the 5♦10♠Q♣ flop with a pair of tens. The rest of the board ran out 2♦Q♦, and he earned the double up.

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

Elvin Simpson moved all in for 26,000 in early position and Lisa Karl reshoved for 100,000 in the cutoff. Anthony Ibrahim was in the big blind and gave the decision some thought, but he eventually folded.

Elvin Simpson: A♦Q♣ All in
Lisa Karl: K♠K♦

Karl had woken up with kings to leave Simpson at risk as the board came 10♣3♦2♣5♥, but Simpson spiked the A♣ on the river to win the pot and double up.
