Rania Nasreddine raised to 500 in early position and the hijack called before the button three-bet to 2,000. Nasreddine made the call and hijack mucked his hand.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Nasreddine check-called a bet of 2,000.

The {8-Diamonds} hit the turn and Nasreddine took the lead, firing out 5,000 and her opponent called quickly.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Nasreddine shoved the rest of her chips across the line. Her opponent asked for a count and after hearing it was 11,800 he tossed in a chip to call.

Nasreddine tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair on the turn and her opponent attempted to muck his hand, but as per TDA rules all hands in an all in pot must be shown and the dealer turned over his {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

After losing a decently sized pot earlier, Humberto Brenes defended his big blind against a raised from under the-gun of 6,500.

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

A player in middle position raised to 13,000 and Ari Engel three-bet to 37,000 on the button. The action quickly folded back around to the original raiser as he announced all in for about 91,000. Engel had only a few thousand more chips than him and made the call.

All-In Player: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Ari Engel: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Engel was dominated and the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave him a gutshot straight draw to go along with his pair of nines. The {9-Hearts} hit the turn for Engel to take the lead with a set and the {a-Clubs} river was no help for his opponent as he collected his bounty.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
