Chips for Piccioli

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Bryan Piccioli, winner of the first ever World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific event, opened from under the gun, Anatoly Filatov three-bet out of the small blind, and Piccioli called.

The dealer fanned {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, Filatov led out for 3,700, and Piccioli called. The turn was a third eight - the {8-Hearts} - both players checked, and the {q-Hearts} completed the board.

Filatov quickly fired 4,500, Piccioli immediately called, and Filatov announced that he had a queen. Piccioli showed {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for eights full of aces, raking in the pot.

Check-Call, Check-Call, Check-Raise allin

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We missed the preflop action but it's reasonable to assume that Stern had opened the button and Vamplew had made the call from the big blind. EPT London champion Vamplew check-called 3,100 on {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and check-called another 6,500 on the {Q-Clubs} on the turn. The river brought out the {10-Clubs} and once again Vamplew checked to Stern. "Ansky" bet 16,000 with about 25,000 behind it looked like. Vamplew announced allin rather quickly which made Stern sigh. Stern eventually folded and neither of the two involved parties showed their hands.

Buz-Gone

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jesse Sylvia and Dan Buzgon were heads up in a three-bet pot on a board of {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Sylvia checked, Buzgon fired out 5,200, and the 2012 WSOP Main Event runner-up check-raised to 11,700. Buzgon put in a third bet, Sylvia moved all in, and Buzgon called.

Buzgon: {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Sylvia: {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Buzgon was ahead with two pair, but he was counterfeited when the turn ({2-Clubs}) and river ({2-Diamonds}) both produced deuces.

"Good luck guys," Buzgon said before leaving the table.

Sylvia now sits with 96,000 chips.

Glantz Busted

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Matt Glantz just busted this event. He was already incredibly short and pushed his last 2,800 in from the cutoff position. Both the small blind and Bryn Kenney in the big blind made the call. Glantz was at risk as both blinds checked down the hand: {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} | {8-Spades} | {K-Spades}. Glantz had some hopes with his {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds} but had to get up from the table as the small blind showed his {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for the rivered higher pair.
