Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Little Slam finalist Riccardo Rizzo had won his entry for the Main Event in a live satellite at Time Square Casino but was chipped down very early on. He then jammed all-in for around 7,500 on the K♠5♦3♦9♣ turn against Rajeev Poonhath, who made the call.

Riccardo Rizzo: 7♦6♦ All in
Rajeez Poonhath: K♣9♦

The top two pair held when the 10♠ river bricked off and Rizzo was gone after slightly more than half an hour of play.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Cassien Du Toit bet the Q♥10♦5♥9♥ turn for 4,000 and SM called. Both opted to check the 3♥ river and Du Toit tabled the K♣J♦ for the king-high straight. SM mucked the A♥Q♠ with a dry smile on the face.

Both tangled again soon after on a board of J♦4♠3♥7♥K♦ when SM's bet did not go through. His 7♠6♣ was third pair but Du Toit had that beat holding the 9♠9♣.
