Santamaria Takes From Baumann

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Gaelle Baumann raised it 3,200 from under-the-gun and was called by Norberto Santamaria from his small blind and the player in the big blind.

After both Santamaria and the big-blind player checked over to Baumann on the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, she continued for 3,500. Santamaria then quickly put check-raised to 12,000, which got folds from the big-blind player and Baumann.

Glines 3-Bets His Button

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in early position raised it to 4,100. When action folded around to Shawn Glines on the button, he three-bet shoved his last 19,000. Both blinds folded and the original raiser thought about it for a quick moment before he folded, which gave Glines some much-needed chips.

Tens Hold For Johnson

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Mitchell Johnson raised it to 3.500, and after action folded to the small-blind player he made the call, which was met with a three-bet shove from the big-blind player. With action back on Johnson, he shoved all in behind and the player in the big blind got out of the way.

All-In Player: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Mitchell Johnson: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

After the board ran out {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}, the all-in player was elimated and Johnson scooped the pot.

The Kicker Plays

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action picked up on the turn on a board reading {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, but post-flop action replayed courtesy of Mark Levenson.

In a headsup pot, the player in the big blind checked the flop and Levenson bet 4,000. The big-blind player then check-raised all in, Levenson called and was all in for his tournament life.

Mark Levenson: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Big-Blind Player: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Both players had flopped top pair and turned trip jacks, and Levenson's king-kicker had him in the lead, but he could still lose to a ten or chop with an eight or six. The {q-Hearts} river secured his double-up.

Wang Sends One to the Rail

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a player in middle position raised it to 2,700 and got a caller, Hsusheng Wang then three-bet it 12,000 from the button. With action back on the original raiser he tanked for about 30 seconds before announcing "All in."

The preflop caller snap-folded and Wang snap-called.

All-in Player: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Hsusheng Wang: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} runout offered no help to the all-in player and he was sent to the rail.

Dube Does Some Damage

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on a board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} in a headsup pot with about 60,000 in the middle.

First to act from his blind, Mark Dube checked the {9-Clubs} river, which was followed by a check behind by his opponent and both players tabled their hands. Dube saw that even though it wasn't the best river card for his hand, his two pair was good and the dealer shipped him the good-sized pot.

Mark Dube: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
