Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jaureguireynoso Takes from Froelich

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action was picked up on a board {6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} with around 10,000 in the pot. Jason Froelich, in the small blind seat, checked to Alejandro Jaureguireynoso who bet 6,000. Froelich tanked a minute and raised it to 17,000, which was called by Jaureguireynoso.

The river brought the {j-Clubs} and Jaureguireynoso pushed a pile of 5,000-chip in front of him, putting Froelich at risk. The latter immediately mucked his cards.

Thompson Makes Gutsy River Call vs. Nakamura

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Tamon Nakamura
Tamon Nakamura

Tamon Nakamura opened to 1,600 and Gary Thompson called from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Nakamura continued for 1,100. Thompson called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Nakamura fired once more for 2,500. Thompson called a second time.

On the {10-Clubs} river, Nakamura fired for 16,000, representing the vast majority of Thompson's stack.

Thompson looked bewildered and even chuckled and threw up his arms as if he had no choice but to call, yet did not expect the results to go his way.

Thompson turned over {j-Spades}{3-Clubs} for two pair, beating Nakamura's triple-barrel with {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Kanchi Hits Two Pair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ranganath Kanchi raised to 2,100 from the hijack and received a call from Ibrahim Naim on the button and Umang Dattani in early position. The three saw a flop come down {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and it was a check round.

On the turn came a {9-Clubs} which Dattani checked. Kanchi bet 4,500 causing Naim to fold and Dattani to reraise to 17,100, getting a call.

The river was a {2-Diamonds} and Dattani check-called Kanchi's 21,000 bet. Kanchi flipped over {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair and it was good to take down the pot.

Pringle Silences Byers

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Byers, who showed off his rambunctious personality on Day 1, bet 6,000 on a {7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop before Jeffrey Pringle raised to 12,000.

Byers called as the turn came {4-Spades}. Pringle bet another 15,000 and Byers called to see the {7-Clubs} on the river as Pringle threw out 25,000 this time.

"You got all the sevens. All four of them, don't you?" Byers asked Pringle as he went into the tank.

While Byers was pondering the decision, players began to get up to go on break. "This is going to be the last hand of the level, guys. I promise. I don't know what to do," Byers told his tablemates.

"I don't want to go out so take as much time as you need," Pringle joked.

Byers eventually folded and Pringle showed him two nines for a full house before they joined the rest of the field on break.

Big stack Ayaz Mahmood is also sitting at this table.

Nikiforov Forces A Fold

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player opened to 2,500 on the button and was called by the small blind as well as Ilya Nikiforov out of the big blind.

Both blinds checked on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the button continued for 4,000. The small blind got out of the way while Nikiforov called to send the two remaining players heads-up to the turn.

The {q-Spades} turn saw Nikiforov lead out for 5,500 and, after some consideration, his opponent folded. Nikiforov, who just last week finished 3rd in WSOP Event #67: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty for a career high $254,791, has now moved past the 100,000 mark.

Three-Way Pot for Chantler

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way pot, the flop read {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} when Qiyu "Nemo" Zhou checked from the small blind and the second player bet 1,800. It was called by Gareth Chantler and Zhou.

The same action happened on the {10-Hearts} turn, this time for 1,300, and the {8-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. After a last check from Zhou, the second player bet another 1,300 and it was called again by Chantler and Zhou.

Zhou showed {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} while the second player held {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Chantler revealed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} to scoop the pot with the best hand.
