Player Four Bet Folds

A player in middle position raised to 15,000 and Steven Levy made a large reraise from the small blind to 51,000.

The original raiser four-bet to 87,000 (the minimum).

Levy moved all in and his opponent unexpectedly folded.

Steven Levy - 365,000

Michael Gagliano Takes a Hit

Michael Gagliano opened the pot for a raise from the button and the small blind reraised all in for 100,000. Gagliano made the call.

Small Blind: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Gagliano: {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}

The board came {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} {10-Diamonds} allowing the small blind to double through Gagliano.

Gagliano - 142,000

Crowe Gets a KO

We join the action on the turn with the board showing {3-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Owen Crowe was first to speak, and he put out 40,000 chips as his bet. His lone opponent then moved all in for about 120,000, and Crowe instantly called with the bigger stack. His opponent showed down {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} for trips, but Crowe's {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} had him outkicked and in bad shape. The {2-Spades} on the river was a blank, and Crowe's ace kicker plays to send his opponent to the rail.

Crowe - 415,000

Vanchiro Gets Jacked

Jeffrey Vanchiro opened the pot from early position, and the action passed around the table to the button. From that position, a relatively short-stacked player moved all in for another 64,300 on top. Vanchiro would go into the tank for a good soak as he counted out his own chips and thought it over carefully. Finally, he did indeed make the call with {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}. His opponent didn't like the call, and he sheepishly turned over {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs}.

Despite getting his money in way ahead, Vanchiro watched in horror as the dealer flopped his opponent another jack to make a higher pair. In the end, the board read {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs}. With that unlucky board, Vanchiro sends an ugly double up across the table, just about halving his stack down to 76,000.

Chip Leader Still Chipping Up

A player in middle position raised to 10,000 to start things off, and chip leader Jason Helder made the call on the button. When it came to the big blind, the player seated there reraised to 28,000. The initial raiser called, but now it was Helder who wanted to play for more. He moved all in having both players covered by a mile. The big blind called all in, while the original raiser got the message and ducked out.

Showdown
Helder: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Big blind: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

The flop was all kinds of trouble for the at-risk player as it came out {J-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} to give Helder's two pair the lead. The {7-Diamonds} that turned was a good card for the big blind, adding a flush draw to his outs. The river {Q-Spades} was the wrong color though, and his day is done.

Helder is on a tear: 640,000.
