Goryoka Shuts Down Salimi

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

An early position player opened to 4,000, and got three callers.

Action checked to Alin Goryoka in the hijack, who bet 5,000. The button folded, and Barbod Salimi check-raised to 15,000 from the big blind.

The original raiser folded, and Goryoka went all-in. Salimi tanked for a bit, then chose to preserve his remaining 25,000 with a fold.

Muallem Takes the Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Noam Muallem
Noam Muallem

Noam Muallem is the first to go over 300,000 chips on Day 1c, and he told PokerNews the details of the hand that put his stack at that level.

Muallem opened to 4,000 under the gun, got three-bet to 14,000 by the button, and made the call.

Muallem check-called a 14,000 bet on the {j-}{8-}{2-} rainbow flop. The turn came {6-}, and Muallem's opponent shoved for 90,000. Muallem made the call.

Button: {q-}{6-}
Noam Muallem: {j-}{10-}

The river {k-} clinched the hand for Muallem, as he shipped the biggest pot so far on Day 1c.
