Lazer Beamed

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Tony Lazer made it 36,000 preflop and got the call from both Ric Cacho and Nick Jivkov. The flop came {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs} and after two checks, Lazer continued for another 36,000.

Only Cacho called and the turn brought the {8-Hearts}. Cacho check-called an 82,000-chip Lazer bet and then jammed in on the {j-Hearts} river.

Lazer called with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, but his flopped set had been run down with Cacho making the nut flush on the river holding the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

All In Blind?

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jose Serratos shipped the small blind for close to 130,000 and Ric Cacho called from the big with {a-}{j-}.

There was some debate as to whether or not Serratos actually looked at his cards before making the move, but either way, he had {a-}{q-} and doubled through on a board that missed them both.

On The River

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Hamid Feiz defended his big blind against a 30,000 chip open from Joseph Barnard, then shipped it in for some 210,000 with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} on a {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop.

Barnard called instantly with the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} set.

The turn came the {3-Clubs} and Feiz was about to be felted before the {8-Hearts} miracle river saved his day, vaulting him up the leader board and leaving Barnard in trouble.
