Moreno Rising in Latest Counts

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Bromfman Chipping Up

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Pedro Bromfman
Pedro Bromfman

Pedro Bromfman, who recently won his first bracelet in Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship, is chipping up early on Day 1a.

With roughly 8,000 in the pot on a {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, the small blind bet 6,000, and Bromfman called on the button.

Both players checked the {9-Hearts} turn to the {10-Hearts} river and the small blind bet 4,000. Bromfman called.

The small blind showed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}, but it was no good against Bromfman's {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and the Brazilian film composer added to his stack.

Pastoll Scores Knockout

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on the {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop with about 1,600 in the pot. Edward Pastoll led out for 2,400 from the button. His opponent, in the cutoff, raised to 11,000. Pastoll called.

On the {10-Hearts} turn, the cutoff led out for 10,000. After a minute or two, Pastoll moved all in. The cutoff snap-called with the effective stack of a bit north of 30,000.

Cutoff: {k-}{q-}
Edward Pastoll: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The cutoff had flopped top two pair, but that wasn't enough to beat Pastoll's bottom set. The river changed nothing, and Pastoll scooped the pot and eliminated his opponent.

Fisk an Early Big Stack

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Action appeared on the turn with the board showing the {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. With three players in the hand, big stack Michael Fisk was in the big blind and called a bet of 4,500 from his opponent while the third player in the hand folded to leave himself with only one 5,000 chip.

The river came the {7-Hearts}. Fisk checked and his opponent in early position made an over-bet of 20,000 with the pot at around 15,000. Fisk took his time and thought before laying out a raise to 50,000 to threaten his opponent's stack who had about 54,000 behind.

His opponent stewed it over for several moments before tossing his cards away and Fisk added more to his mountain of chips.

Lussier Checks It Down After Fortunate Runout

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Roger Lussier raised to 600 from under the gun and received four calls, including from Kenny Tran in the big blind. The flop came {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Lussier bet another 1,100.

A player in early position called, as did the button and Tran. The turn came the {k-Spades} and this time everyone checked.

All four players also checked the {a-Clubs} on the river and Lussier showed down {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for runner-runner top two pair to take down the pot.

Rematch: Kazazian vs D'Ambrosio 2

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio
Jimmy D'Ambrosio

After an early pot between Harry Kazazian and Jimmy D'Ambrosio found Kazazian turning a set, they were both at it again.

Heads up on a flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, D'Ambrosio led for 2,000.

"What are you gonna do Harry?" said D'Ambrosio.

"I'm just gonna call," said Kazazian.

The turn brought the {q-Clubs} and D'Ambrosio bet 300 more. Kazazian raised it up to 6,000 and D'Ambrosio called.

"Quit looking at my chips," said D'Ambrosio.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and action went check-check.

Kazazian turned over {q-}{9-} for queens and nines, but D'Ambrosio had it beat with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} for aces and sixes.

"You could have folded queen-nine offsuit preflop," said D'Ambrosio.

"I like the button," responded Kazazian.

"I like you Harry," said D'Ambrosio.

Hoffman Turns All the Outs and Gets There

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Action picked up on the river with about 40,000 in the pot. The board read {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Larry Hoffman checked to his opponent, who bet 30,000, enough to barely cover Hoffman. After thinking for a bit, Hoffman made the call to put his tournament life at risk.

Hoffman immediately flipped over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the flush. He turned an open-ender and a flush draw that hit on the river.

His opponent mucked before showing and his cards were irretrievable, but told Hoffman he had ace-queen.

Weidner Doubles Through Muehloecker

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

With roughly 13,000 in the pot on a {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, Thomas Muehloecker bet 4,500 in the small blind and Luke Weidner moved all in for 6,200 in the hijack. The button folded and Muehloecker called.

Luke Weidner: {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Thomas Muehloecker: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Weidner was ahead until the {q-Diamonds} turn left him needing help to stay alive. The {10-Diamonds} river quickly provided that help by improving him to a flush as he gave a fist pump and secured the double.

Extor Fortunate Not To Exit

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action after the flop, Jeff Extor in the small blind was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind and a player in middle position. Both Extor and the big blind checked on a flop of {3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and the middle position player led out for 2,200. Extor responded by shoving his remaining 16,800 into the middle and was called by the big blind. The middle position player gave his options some thought but ended up folding.

Jeff Extor: {q-Spades}{6-Spades}
Big Blind: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Extor was in deep trouble and would need significant help to survive. The {10-Clubs} turn appeared to change little, that was until the {10-Diamonds} rolled off on the river, counterfeiting the big blind's second pair and ensuring that Extor's superior kicker played to secure a full double for himself.
