Bleznick Goes Runner-Runner to Double Off Koon

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jared Bleznick raised to 950,000 on the button and Jason Koon potted to 3,450,000 in the small blind. Bleznick called and they saw a flop of K♥9♣2♥.

Koon then bet enough to put Bleznick all in. "Good luck, champ," Bleznick said as he called for his last 700,000.

Jared Bleznick: A♠J♣9♦7♠ All in
Jason Koon: A♣A♦3♦3♣

Koon was far out in front with his aces as the 8♣ turn gave Bleznick outs to a straight. The 10♥ fell on the river to give Bleznick his straight and earn him a fortunate double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ben Tollerene limped the small blind and Lautaro Guerra checked his option in the big blind.

On the K♥K♦Q♦ flop, Tollerene led for 300,000 and Guerra called.

Tollerene led again on the J♥ turn for 900,000 and Guerra put in the call.

On the 10♠ river, Tollerene slowed down with a check. Guerra then jammed for 2,900,000 effective as the covering stack which sent Tollerene deep into the tank. After using seven of his eight time banks, Tollerene slid a stack of chips forward to call.

Ben Tollerene: Q♠Q♥10♦6♣ All in
Lautaro Guerra: K♣8♠7♦2♣

Tollerene flopped a full house and made the correct call on the end to double.

"You're the f**king best!" exclaimed tablemate Jared Bleznick after the hand.

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra raised to 1,200,000 in the small blind and Patrik Antonius called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♣5♦2♦ and Guerra moved all in. Antonius had around 1,500,000 behind and quickly folded.

The next hand, Ben Tollerene raised to 1,400,000 in the cutoff and Guerra called on the button. Antonius also came along from the small blind.

All three players checked the 9♣8♣6♥ flop. The turn was the 10♠ and Tollerene bet 1,500,000. Guerra quickly folded, but Antonius, with just 50,000 remaining, tanked for a minute before folding, leaving himself with less than a small blind.

Pascal LeFrancois: A♥A♣8♣2♦ All in

Ben Tollerene limped the button, Lautaro Guerra completed from the small blind, and Jared Bleznick checked his option in the big blind.

On the J♥9♠3♣ flop, the action checked to Tollerene who bet 500,000 and only Guerra called.

On the 4♣ turn, Tollerene sized up to 1,800,000 and Guerra decided to put in the call.

The river brought the 9♦. Guerra checked for a third time and Tollerene fired a third barrel for 3,000,000. Guerra did not take long before he flicked in a chip to call. Tollerene tabled J♠10♠9♥3♠ for a rivered full house to drag a sizeable pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Ben Tollerene potted the button to 1,400,000 before Lautaro Guerra jammed the small blind for 4,250,000 and Tollerene snapped it off.

Lautaro Guerra: A♥A♦K♥2♠ All in
Ben Tollerene: A♠A♣9♠2♣

It was an aces on aces confrontation and the K♣5♥4♥ gave Guerra a pair and flush draw. The 10♠ turn was clean but the 10♥ river gave Guerra the flush to win and double.
