David Mzareulov Isolates and Eliminated

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
David Mzareulov
David Mzareulov

David Mzareulov opened to 2,000 from middle position. He found two callers, the hijack and the button before it got to Armando Guerr in the big blind.

Guerr decided to go all in for 9,000. Back to Mzareulov who shoved over the top for about 30,000. Both players in between folded.

The {a-}{a-}{3-} flop didn't change much for either player, though both players who folded claimed they would have won the pot. The {2-} turn and {6-} river gave Mzareulov the win and busted Guerr.

Burr Freezes Two Players at Once

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Ryan Burr
Ryan Burr

Ryan Burr opened from middle position and found two callers preflop, Kevin Garosshen in late position and Chase Griesbach from the button. The pot held about 4,000.

The flop showed up with the {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Action now checked to Garosshen who bet about half pot. When action came to Griesbach on the button, he elected to go all in for 21,800. Burr, the original raiser, called the all in.

Garosshen wasn't done with the hand, though. He also pushed all his chips across the line, totaling, 57,700.

Back on Burr, who deliberated for about one minute before also making the call. Cards were revealed for the massive pot.

"Nuts with a redraw," said Garosshen as he flipped {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

"I guess I need a five or a six," said Griesbach, who turned over {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Burr revealed his {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the flush draw and he had both other players covered.

"Hold!" pleaded Garosshen.

The {10-Hearts} on the turn must not have heard him. The {3-Spades} river completed the board and Burr catapulted himself into an early chip leader.

Brian Green
Brian Green

Brian Green opened to 1,500 from early position and got three callers before action came to Joshua Lien in the big blind. He three-bet up to 8,000. Green called and so did the player in the small blind.

The flop showed up {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and two players checked to Green, the in-position players. He siezed control on the betting with a bet of 10,000. Lien decided to call.

The turn came the {3-Hearts} and now both players checked.

The river fell the {7-Diamonds} and Lien checked for a third time. Green decided to now go all in for a total of 29,000.

After some thought, Lien released his cards and Green raked the pot.

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Raymond Brint
Raymond Brint

Jeremy Bowman called an early position raise of 600 before Raymond Brint decided to three-bet to 2,100. Brint found callers from the other two players and the hand went to a flop three ways.

{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} was the flop, and all three players checked fairly quickly.

On the {j-Diamonds} turn, players checked to Brint who now bet 3000, about half pot. Only Bowman called.

The {k-Spades} hit the river, prompting Bowman to now lead for 8,000. Brint immediately called.

"Good call," said Bowman as he tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Brint revealed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for turned top pair and earned himself the pot when he hung on at the river.
