Bleiker Pays Off Aoki

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

Heads-up to the {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} turn, Mikiyo Aoki was in the tank while she faced a bet worth 27,000 by Felix Bleiker. One of the bigger stacks on the table started to chime in with a "with all due respect ..." before adding "okay, I am not going to be that guy" as he stopped his motion of calling the clock.

Aoki called some ten seconds later and the {7-Hearts} then fell on the river. What followed was a bet worth 70,000 by Aoki and Bleiker eventually paid it off but mucked when he was shown the {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for jacks and tens by Aoki.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jake Schwartz
Jake Schwartz

Three ways to the {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Jake Schwartz checked out of the big blind and then faced a bet worth 15,000. Nick Palma raised to 43,000 and Schwartz jammed for the last 148,000 he had behind to force one fold. Palma, however, instantly called.

Jake Schwartz: {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Nick Palma: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}

"You got it, nice hand Nick," Schwartz almost immediately said even before the {8-Diamonds} turn and the {q-Clubs} river completed the board. Palma replied with a "I could have some random shit, too" before raking in the pot which brought him to nearly seven figures.

"Did I get bluffed?" his opponent asked. Holsonback shook his head as he stacked his chips.
