Erick Torres

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Christopher Nichols picked up back-to-back pots against William Wolf.

The first hand occurred when Wolf and Nichols got it in preflop after Wolf raised and faced an all-in and called to put Nichols at risk.

Christopher Nichols: A♥K♦ All in
William Wolf: A♣3♠

Nichols got a favorable flop when it came 2♥K♠10♥. The 3♦ turn kept Wolf alive, but the 2♦ river sealed it in favor of Nichols.

The second hand happened in a similar fashion as Wolf opened before Nichols jammed for 154,000. Wolf called to put Nichols at risk.

Christopher Nichols: A♣A♥ All in
William Wolf: A♦J♦

Nichols had Wolf's hand crushed and the board did not bring any surprises as it came 7♠Q♥5♠10♥9♣ to award Nichols the pot.

Erick Torres

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After losing an all-in pot earlier, Hamid Izadi took down a pot to head back in the positive direction.

The board read 9♣K♦10♦, which led to a check from Nicholas Iriarte from the hijack before Izadi bet 40,000. Iriarte called.

The A♦ turn was checked by both players to bring the 8♣ river.

Iriarte bet 85,000 and was called by Izadi.

Iriarte showed K♠J♥ for a pair, but Izadi had the best of it with Q♠J♠ for a straight.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hamid Izadi	1,470,000 230,000	230,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hamid Izadi opened to 20,000 on the button and was called by Daniel Turner in the big blind.

The 7♠5♥4♣ flop led to a check from Turner. Izadi fired 40,000, but Turner responded with a check-raise to 105,000.

Izadi shoved, and Turner snap called to be at risk for 327,000.

Daniel Turner: 8♣6♠ All in
Hamid Izadi: 6♦3♦

Both players flopped a straight, but Turner flopped the best of it.

The inconsequential 10♣ turn and the 2♣ river did not alter anything as Turner dragged in a healthy pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hamid Izadi	1,240,000 180,000	180,000
