Vecchio Collects From Kolev

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

James Vecchio opened to 35,000 from the hijack and was flatted by Boris Kolev on the button.

Vecchio continued for a 34,000 bet on the 4♣6♥J♦ flop and Kolev called.

Both players then proceeded to check down on the Q♠ turn and 7♦ river.

Vecchio tabled A♣J♥ for a flopped pair of jacks and Kolev mucked — awarding the pot to Vecchio.

Brockmann Scores Double Off Rossitto

Andrew Knowles

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action folded to Michael Rossitto on the button who opened for 35,000 and Henrik Brockmann shoved from the small blind for 164,000. The big blind quickly folded and Rossitto snap-called to put Brockmann at risk.

Henrik Brockmann: A♠9♠
Michael Rossitto: J♣J♥

Brockmann was in need of help and help he got when the board ran out A♦10♥4♦5♠6♥. The flopped ace for Brockmann scored the pot and full double up off Rossitto.

Grech Sends Capriles Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Zachary Grech opened to 32,000 from under-the-gun and was called by Tamon Nakamura in middle position. Action folded around to Miguel Capriles in the big blind, who shoved for his last 104,000.

Grech also went all in, which got a fold from Nakamura and hands were tabled.

Zachary Grech: A♥Q♠
Miguel Capriles: A♦10♥

Grech had Capriles dominated, and the 9♣4♣3♥3♦6♥ flop was of no help to Capriles, who was eliminated.

Shimizu Spikes River To Send Einsohn To The Exit

Andrew Knowles

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nozomu Shimizu opened the action to 25,000 from the hijack and it folded around to Jarod Einsohn in the big blind who counted his stack of 132,000 before sliding them in the middle. Shimizu asked for a quick count and eventually tossed in chips for the call to put Einsohn at risk.

Jarod Einsohn: A♥Q♠
Nozomu Shimizu: J♥9♠

The flop came a sweat for Einsohn when it fanned out 10♣10♦8♦, giving Shimizu a straight draw to go along with his live cards. The 6♣ was safe for Einsohn, but when the river fell the Q♥, it was the queen-high straight that scored the pot to send Einsohn to the exit.
