Baime Doubles Through Bittar

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ken Baime moved all in for 1,080,000 on the button and Kamal Bittar three-bet to 3,530,000 out of the small blind. The big blind folded and Baime was officially at risk.

Ken Baime: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Kamal Bittar: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Baime was flipping for his tournament life but vaulted into a sizable lead following the {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {k-Clubs} turn changed nothing with the {q-Diamonds} river improving Baime to broadway as he collected the full double.

Karim Rebei opened the pot with a raise to 475,000 in the cutoff. Tzur Levy then re-raised to 1,850,000 from the small blind and Rebei called.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Levy continued for 1,150,000. Rebei raised to 2,400,000 and Levy called to see the {3-Clubs} on the turn.

Levy this time checked over to Rebei, who bet out 2,775,000. Levy quickly called as the river came the {3-Diamonds}.

Levy once again checked before Rebei announced he was all in for 2,650,000. Levy quickly called as Rebei turned over {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for running trip threes.

Levy flashed {k-}{q-} as Rebei got up to shake his hand. "You know you won the pot, right" Levy said.

"Hey, don't ever call me lucky again. That's the luckiest hand I've ever seen," tablemate Andy Taylor told Rebei after the hand.

Aaron Duczak raised to 425,000 in early position and was called by Tom Kunze and Robert Reed in the blinds. The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and the action checked to Duczak who continued for 625,000. Kunze called and Reed got out of the way.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and both players checked to the {10-Diamonds} on the river. Two more checks and Kunze tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair. It was no good as Duczak rolled over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to claim the pot.

Dobric Steps Up Aggression

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

George Turner opened to 400,000 from middle position and received a call from Matija Dobric out of the big blind.

Dobric checked on the {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop and then raised to 800,000 after Turner continued for 200,000. Turner called to see the turn.

The turn came {10-Hearts} and Dobric continued his aggression with a bet of 1,900,000. That elicited a fold from Turner to send the pot Dobric's way as he continues to pressure the rest of the table.

Ballsy Blazevich Binks the River Double

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Left with a short stack for some time after a move gone wrong, Cameron Blazevich open-shoved out of the hijack for 1,425,000 or seven big blinds in total. He was called by Dingxiang Ong on the button and the blinds got out of the way.

Cameron Blazevich: {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Dingxiang Ong: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}

"We are live," Blazevich exclaimed while he was standing next to his friends on the rail.

There was no help on the {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and the {k-Hearts} turn. However, the {q-Hearts} fell on the river and Blazevich doubled to get back into contention.

Andy Taylor: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Karim Rebei: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

"Six is good. Four is good. King is good," Rebei said, but he didn't catch any of them on the {j-Diamonds} river as Taylor doubled up to more than 21,000,000.
