Zamani Tries a Hero Call, Gets a Warning Afterward

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Martin Zamani
Martin Zamani

There was about 165,000 in the middle on the {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} turn and Martin Zamani bet what appeared to be 140,000.

Lander Lijo called and they saw the {q-Hearts} river. Lijo shoved in his last 200,000 and Zamani went deep into the tank.

"I feel like you're trying to run some ridiculous bluff," said Zamani. "It would be so silly if I lost to a bluff here."

After another minute in the tank, Zamani suggested the table could call the clock on him.

"F*** that," said one of his tablemates. "I'm finishing my beer."

Zamani finally stuck out a call and Lijo turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a set.

Zamani put his cards in the muck and mixed them in to prevent revealing his hand, laughing hysterically as he did. Lijo however, was not amused and called the floor. Zamani was given a warning.

Kuo Shows the Bluff

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was about 70,000 in the middle on the {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} river. Jeff Platt had a bet of 30,000 in front of him, but he was facing a raise to 110,000 from Kitty Kuo.

After a minute, Platt laid it down.

"Show the bluff - we're breaking tables," said one of the players.

Kuo revealed {8-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines.

JJ Liu opened to 16,000 and only Nick Schulman came along to the {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop.

Liu led for another 15,000 and Schulman folded.

That takes the Women In Poker Hall of Fame member up past 600,000 as we get into the later levels of the night.

Kuo Cracks Jacks

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Jesse Solano was in late position and pushed all in for 86,000. Kitty Kuo was in middle position and called.

Jesse Solano: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Kitty Kuo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic race, and after the flop of {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} Solano was in the lead with top pair and ready for a double.

Kuo spiked the {a-Spades} on the turn, and the lead shifted towards her, with Solano standing up immediately.

The dealer barely set down the {3-Hearts} when Solano was already walking to the payout desk, having been eliminated by Kuo.
