Rast Gets the Best of Kalas

Level 20 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

After a couple of raises, Kane Kalas was all in for his last 45,000 chips and was called by Brian Rast. Kalas turned over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} but was in rough shape against Rast's {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to give both players a pair of aces but Rast's kicker was still out front. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {6-Spades} to send Kalas to the rail and Rast advanced.

Bicknell Bests Sarmiento

Level 20 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Steven Sarmiento checked and called a bet of 14,000 by Kristen Bicknell. The {q-Hearts} turn was checked and Sarmiento tank-called a bet of 42,000 on the {10-Hearts} river. Bicknell showed {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and that won the pot.

Sarmiento moved all in blind the next hand and Bicknell folded. Two hands later the remainder of Sarmiento's stack were in with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Bicknell turned over the {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board gave Bicknell a pair of treys and that saw the Canadian advance to the round of 32.

Reixach Takes Down Pock

Level 19 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Sergi Reixach and Allen Pock got all of their chips in the middle with Pock's short stack leaving him at risk. Reixach tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped flush and while Pock was nearly drawing dead with {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades} on the turn spelled the end to Pock's tournament and the {8-Hearts} was insignificant on the river.
