Mikiyo Aoki raised to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by one player in the big blind.

The flop came out {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Aoki who downsized to 1,600 which the big blind called.

The turn of {8-Clubs} saw the big blind check once more and Aoki sized up to 5,000 which elicited a quick fold from her opponent. Aoki raked in the pot as she now wields one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Magdan Wins on A Scary Board

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Alec Magdan
Alec Magdan

Action was picked up with Alec Magdan in the cutoff against a player in the big blind.

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Magdan bet 2,500 when his opponent checked to him and his opponent called.

The turn and river of {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} checked through and the big blind turned over {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for aces and nines. It was no good against Magdan's {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for aces and nines with a ten kicker and Magdan raked in the pot.
