Chip Counts From Brasilia

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Sluzinski Gets Value

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

On a flop of {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} Jeff Sluzinski made a bet and was called by Aurelie Reard. The turn was the {k-Spades}. Both players checked. The river was a dangerous looking {a-Clubs}. Sluzinski bet 2,300 and was called by Reard.

He revealed the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for the rivered straight that improved upon his starting pair to take the pot.

Rheem's Doles Out a Present to Funk

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Darrell Funk bet 1,500 from middle position on a {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop into three opponents, and only Chino Rheem called on the button.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} turn, and the {3-Diamonds} fell on the river. Funk bet 2,200, and Rheem said, "This is a gift," before calling.

Funk tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for tens up, and Rheem nodded, then mucked his hand.

Jacobson Down Some

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Main Event 2014 Champion Martin Jacobson has not had the smoothest of starts and has lost almost a third of his stack. The latest loss was a small pot against Paul Phillips, which began with an 800 open from Jacobson in early position and a call from Phillips in the big blind.

Both players checked through the {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} flop and Phillips lead 1,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn, which Jacobson called. The river was the {7-Hearts} and Jacobson folded to Phillips's 1,600 bet. Though his stack has been diminished somewhat, with 143 big blinds still in front of him, Jacobson still has plenty of room to play.

Jacks for Fitzgerald

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Following a raise to 1,000 from under the gun, and a call from Nikola Gunchev in middle position, Alex Fitzgerald three-bet the hijack to 3,500.

Both the original raiser and Gunchev called as the flop landed {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Fitzgerald continued for 5,500 after the action checked to him, and once the original raiser folded, Gunchev called.

The turn fell the {8-Spades}, and Gunchev checked. Fitzgerald bet 10,000, and Gunchev called.

The river landed the {a-Diamonds} and both players checked. Gunchev tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, but it would be Fitzgerald's {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} that would earn him the pot.

With action caught on the river of the {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board, Christopher Poulton checked from a middle position and Davor Lanini threw in a bet of 8,000 into what looked like a 20,000-pot.

Poulton called and Lanini quickly turned up {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a full house. Poulton couldn't beat that and he mucked his hand.
