Anthony Spinella was on the button and bet 57,000 into about 150,000 on . Thomas Boivin fired in a sizable check-raise to 185,000 and Spinella didn't take long to concede.
The cards for level 15 are back in the air and one hour and 38 minutes remain for Day 3. With fewer than 60 eliminations to the money spots, the bubble may very well burst tonight still.
Level 14 and 22 minutes of level 15 are completed and the field has been reduced to the final 1,341 hopefuls. Only the top 1,286 spots get paid and the money bubble will be looming when the players return to their seats after a 35-minute color up break. Action resumes at 11 p.m. local time.
There was plenty of action at the tables and you can check out the recent highlights below.
There was mega action taking place over in Amazon Gold recently. Michael Holm had opened to 18,000 in the hijack and Marcos Rodriguez three-bet all in for 158,500 in the cutoff. Ian Pelz was on the button and flat called. The player in the small blind looked like he was tempted too, tanking for a couple of minutes before letting it go. When it came back to Holm, he began to tell a story of a time when a player was in the same spot as he was and made a big laydown, before folding pocket-kings face up.
Marcos Rodriguez:
Ian Pelz:
Holm got out of his seat at this point as the dealer laid down on the flop. The turn was another brick but the came on the river, keeping Rodriguez in the game. He couldn't help but celebrate in the heat of the moment and then apologized to the table for his excitement.
In a battle big blind versus button, Pavlo Veksler faced a bet of 75,000 on the completed board of and made the call to get shown ace-high. Veksler turned over for a pair of fours and dragged in another very healthy pot.
