Duval Stays Aggressive

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jason Duval
Jason Duval

A player from early position limped into the pot. The table talk during the hand was about how "sick it would be if you did it again". They were referring to Jason Duval's recent win in a large-field $1,500 buy in. As if on cue, Duval raised to 5,400 and the player from early position came along.

Duval continued for 4,500 on the {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop and his opponent called. Duval bet 8,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn and his opponent called again. Finally, Duval bet 13,000 on the {3-Spades} river and put his opponent to the test. After quite some time, his opponent begrudgingly folded to the pressure.

Duval Shoves Flop Against Himatsingka

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

After Devvrat Himatsingka opened to an unknown amount from the cutoff seat, Jason Duval reraised to 14,000 from the button. Action folded back to Himatsingka, and he called to see the flop come down {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

On the flop, Himatsingka led for 20,000, but Duval decided to play for it all and shoved all in for 49,200. After a bit of tanking, Himatsingka folded, and Duval won the pot.

Shortly after the hand, Himatsingka went for a walk. When asked where he was going, he responded, "I'm going for a walk. I can't take this s*** anymore!"

Cautious Play

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With just 60 players remaining and a little over an hour left to play today, the small stacks are looking to get healthy and the big stacks are looking to gobble them up. What that means is, play is proceeding cautiously as the next milestone for these players is to make day two.
