Brett Slezak

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

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.

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.
