Hellmuth Sends Nazar to the Payout Desk

Tyler Foran

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A player raised in early position before Hugo Nazar jammed his 140,000 in the middle. Phil Hellmuth was in the big blind and quickly announced a raise to 350,000, forcing the original raiser out of the pot.

Hugo Nazar: A♦7♥
Phil Hellmuth: A♣Q♥

Hellmuth had Nazar dominated and the J♠6♥3♦A♥A♠ board gave both players trip aces, but Hellmuth's queen kicker played to eliminate Nazar from the tournament.

Ginsbach Flops Set to Survive

Tyler Foran

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jay Ginsbach jammed for 395,000 in the cutoff and the button eventually re-jammed his stack, forcing the blinds to get out of the way.

Jay Ginsbach: Q♥Q♦
Button: A♦9♦

Ginsbach wasn't able to avoid the one overcard as the ace hit on the A♥Q♣2♥ flop, but it was followed by the queen, giving him a set. The 3♣ turn meant Ginsbach had sealed the double and the 6♣ river was just a formality.

Big Slick Does It Like That

Claudio Elizalde

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Benjamin "Pyzza" Teston had an opposing short stack at risk and was sweating the run out when Pokernews arrived.

Late Position: 10♥10♠
Pyzza Teston: A♦K♠

The flop didn't look promising for Teston as the dealer rolled 2♣8♥9♠ off the deck, but the A♠ elicited a loud clap as Teston celebrated catching the turn. The river was the 3♦, sending his opponent to the payout desk.

Mobeen Prevails in Battle of Sets

Herbie Teope

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mohamed Mobeen was among three players involved in a brewing situation with three-bet action before the flop.

With the pot swollen, the dealer placed 7♦5♦J♦ on the board and the fireworks began.

A player in the small blind checked, leading to the player in early position to move all in for 480,000. Mobeen was next to act on the button, moved all in for 685,000.

The last player, who was in the big blind, had both players covered and agonized over his decision, asking for a count of each separate stack from the dealer. He then took up to a minute, repeatedly looking at his cards and the board while shaking his head before deciding to fold.

The cards were then tabled showing set over set.

Mobeen: 7♠7♣
Opponent: 5♥5♦

The dealer placed J♠ on the turn and K♥ on the river, giving Mobeen the win and a large pot.

Maximum Pressure from Bonyadi

Tyler Foran

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With about 300,000 in the middle, the flop read J♥7♣5♥, and Erik Cajelais checked to Farzad Bonyadi who put in a bet of 65,000. The under-the-gun player flatted and Cajelais got out of the way.

The A♦ hit the turn, and Banyadi slowed down, check-calling a bet of 150,000.

When the 10♥ completed the board, Banyadi announced he was all-in for roughly 900,000. His opponent had 600,000 remaining and after a few moments he tossed his hand into the muck.

Erik Cajelais	1,560,000 880,000	880,000

Brown Sweats It

Claudio Elizalde

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Camille Brown went all in from early position and was called by a player in late position. Cards were quickly on their backs.

Camille Brown: 6♦6♣
Opponent: A♣J♦

Nothing kills a sweat like having an opponent say, "I folded sixes!", which prompted Brown to stand up and start collecting her belongings. It ran out clean for her as the dealer fanned, 10♣3♣2♠4♥ and when Brown pleaded with the dealer for a clean card, the K♥ peeled, she settled back into her chair to stack her newly won chips.

The very next hand, Brown won a small mult-way pot with pocket fives, putting her comfortably in contention.

Ginsbach Holds with Pair and Flush Draw

Tyler Foran

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Six players saw a flop of Q♣J♥5♣, and the action was checked to Jay Ginsbach before he fired out a bet of 140,000. The player to his left jammed all-in for about 600,000 and the action folded back around to Grinsbach as he called off his stack of 500,000.

Jay Ginsbach: J♣10♣
Opponent: A♣3♣

Ginsbach had flopped a pair and a flush draw, but it turned out he didn't want to see a club as his opponent had the nut-flush draw. The 9♠ turn and 5♦ river were exactly what he was looking for as he doubled early in Day 2.
