Rabinowitz Sends Nguyen to the Exit

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Phong Nguyen opened to 12,000 from the cutoff. Darren Rabinowitz, on the button, three-bet to 35,000. Nguyen called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Nguyen checked. Rabinowitz bet 30,000. Nguyen called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and was checked around to the {7-Clubs} river. Nguyen checked again. Rabinowitz, having Nguyen covered, moved all in for around 400,000. Nguyen snap-called, putting at risk his last 200,000.

Rabinowitz tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a full house. Nguyen pushed his chips over and left, commenting to Rabinowitz: ''I'm gonna anti-sweat you the whole way.''

Yifrach Quiets Bozzano

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The action folded to Enio Bozzano on the button who raised to 15,000 and was called by Gal Yifrach in the small blind. The flop fell {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Yifrach check-called a bet of 16,000 from Bozzano.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Yifrach checked again. Bozzano fired another 26,000 and Yifrach hung around to see the {2-Spades} land on the river. Yifrach checked for the third time and Bozzano tossed in a bet of 56,000. Yifrach quickly called and Bozzano tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair. Yifrach turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for an overpair and that was enough to quiet down Bozzano, who's had some outbursts of celebration throughout the day.

Ausmus led out for 20,000 and Alaniz announced all in for 112,500. Ausmus asked for a count and then counted his own stack. After realizing the bet was for the majority of his own chips, Ausmus decided to fold his hand, flashing the {a-Hearts} in the process.
