Medic’s Opponent Mucks Full House5:51 PM

Five players saw the flop come down {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades} in a limped pot. The first two players checked and then Miguel Borrero checked. Nenad Medic bet 900 and the next player called. Everyone else folded.

The turn card brought the {5-Hearts} and Medic fired 2,300. His opponent made the call and the two saw the {Q-Clubs} fall on the river. Medic opted to check. His opponent fired 6,500 and then Medic check-raised to 23,000. His opponent tanked for quite some time before open folding the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, laying down a full house. Medic gave a little smirk and scooped the pot without showing. He moved to 75,000 in chips.

Brady Shoves the River5:59 PM

Matt Brady and Faraz Jaka both checked the flop of {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and then the {K-Clubs} was added on the turn. Brady fired 1,000 and Jaka made the call. The {Q-Spades} fell on the river and Brady moved all in for 5,400. Jaka didn’t make the call, sliding his hand forward as a fold. Brady won the pot, but is still pretty short with just 9,150 chips in his stack.

Mercier Busts One6:18 PM

The board read {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and the pot had about 13,000 in the middle. Jason Mercier bet 12,000, just covering his lone opponent in the land. After a good four minutes thinking it over, his opponent called all in and showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Mercier, though, turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} and went on to win the pot, eliminate his opponent, and increase his stack to about 78,000.

Binger Aggressive Post Flop6:23 PM

The under-the-gun player raised to 800 and Justin Smith called from the next seat. Nick Binger called from the small blind and made for a three-handed flop to be seen. The first three community cards came down {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Binger checked to the preflop raiser. He fired 1,200 and that knocked Smith out of the way. Binger was then up again and check-raised to 3,600. His opponent called.

The turn card was the {7-Diamonds} to pair the board. It didn’t slow Binger down as he fired out 5,700. His opponent took 20 seconds to himself and then spun his hand into the muck.

Mizzi Doubles Through Bohlman6:32 PM

Sorel Mizzi was all in for about 6,500 with {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and was up against Scott Bohlman’s {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The flop came down {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, ending this one pretty quickly. The {2-Spades} fell on the turn and Mizzi commented, “Why couldn’t you have aces so this could be really sick?” The {7-Diamonds} river card was just a formality and Mizzi is up to about 15,000. Bohlman slipped to 32,000.

With the end of that level, the players went on a 75-minute dinner break.
