Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 15,000 ante
Rudy Mamo opened to 75,000 in the hijack, with Dominic Esparza calling on the button and Jacob Earl defending his big blind.
Earl checked the 8♦2♠Q♦ flop, and Mamo continued for 150,000. Esparza quickly got out of the way before Earl announced a check-raise and moved all in for 550,000.
"Why didn't you shove preflop?" asked Mamo as he contemplated his decision.
After taking some time, Mamo opted to fold while turning over J♠J♦. Earl raked in the pot, declining Mamo's appeal to show his cards.

Dustin Roby opened to 65,000 from under the gun, and Matthew Headlee made the call on the button. Jarvis Hooks three-bet to 240,000 in the big blind, with only Roby sticking in a call.
Hooks slowed down with a check on the 6♥9♠J♥ flop, and Roby checked back. The dealer then flipped over the 4♣ turn, and Hooks fired a bet of 340,000.
Roby took a moment before sliding his cards to the dealer, as Hooks added new chips to his growing stack.

Nitin Kolli opened to 60,000 in middle position, and Dennis Zollo moved all in for 330,000 on the button. Kolli quickly called, and the hands were turned up.
Dennis Zollo: 6♠6♦ 
Nitin Kolli: A♥A♦
Zollo stood up as he saw Kolli flip over pocket aces, and the 2♦10♥4♥ flop changed nothing. Zollo then sat back down as the 6♥ hit the turn, giving him a set of sixes.
Kolli could not spike the J♣ river, seeing the pot sent to Zollo for the double-up.

Christopher Hando checked the 10♥3♣Q♠ flop in middle position, making the call after Justin Webb fired 55,000 into the middle on the button.
Both players checked the 2♦ turn, with action repeating on the 5♠ river.
Hando turned over 10♦8♦ for a pair of tens, taking down the pot as Webb mucked.
"King-jack," said Webb as Hando stacked up some new chips.
On a nearby table, Courtney Kennedy turned over A♣A♥ after getting a walk in the big blind.
