Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Nacho Barbero raised to 3,500 from under the gun and got calls from three players: Stephen Chidwick, Jamil Wakil, and Punnat Punsri.

The flop came A♠10♣3♦. It checked to Wakil, who bet 7,000. Punsri and Barbero both folded, and Chidwick check-raised to 30,000. Wakil called.

Chidwick then bet 67,000 on the 9♥ turn, and Wakil called.

The river was the 5♠. Chidwick shoved, covering his opponent, with Wakil calling for his last 187,000.

Jamil Wakil: 3♣3♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 10♦10♥

It was a classic set over set confrontation, with Wakil coming out second-best and being sent to the rail.

Mark Hammond opened to 3,500 in middle position, and Keith Lehr defended his big blind to see the 4♦J♥6♥ flop.

Another check from Lehr followed the 5♣ river, and Hammond opted to check it down. Lehr tabled 7♣5♠ for a pair of fives, while Hammond showed Q♠J♦ to take the pot with his pair of jacks.

Brandon Steven has had quite a December. The car dealer and longtime high roller started off the month with a $2 million loss on Hustler Casino Live, which he followed up today by busting the $250,000 buy-in Triton Invitational at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise festival in under an hour.

Despite being one of the most prestigious events of the year, three players, including Steven, were eliminated during Level 1.

The unique invitational, which pairs wealthy invitees with the world's top poker pros, drew 98 players. Though the field was three players smaller by the end of the first level, all three were quick to buy back into the action.

Sean Winter raised to 3,500 from under the gun before Patrik Antonius three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Winter made the call, and the dealer delivered the 2♦3♣8♦ flop.

Winter checked to Antonius, who continued for 14,000. After taking a moment, Winter check-raised to 48,000. Antonius then took some time before announcing a three-bet to 115,000.

That produced a quick fold from Winter, and Antonius claimed the pot.

On the feature table, Taylor von Kriegenbergh raised to 3,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey called on the button. Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 18,000 from the small blind and both opponents called.

The three players saw a 10♦8♣2♥ flop dealt and Jaffe checked. Von Kriegenbergh bet 20,000 and Ivey raised to 60,000. Jaffe folded and Von Kriegenbergh made the call.

The turn was the 6♣ and Von Kriegenbergh checked. Ivey shoved for 176,000 into a pot of around the same amount and Von Kriegenbergh called.

Phil Ivey: 10♠8♠ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: 2♣2♠

Ivey had flopped top two pair, but unfortunately for him, Von Kriegenbergh had flopped bottom set. The river J♦ bricked for Ivey, sending him to the rail.

Alex Foxen slid out a pot-sized bet of 20,000 from the button on the J♦K♥8♠7♠ turn, and Mikita Badziakouski check-called in the big blind.

Another check from Badziakouski followed the 8♦ river, and Foxen counted out a bet of 60,000. After using two time banks, Badziakouski sat back in his chair before deciding to give up his hand. That allowed Foxen to collect the pot shortly before break.
