Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the pot standing at approximately 40,000 both Galen Hall in the small blind and Jose Ignacio Barbero in the hijack checked the action to Yasuhiro Waki on the button who opted to check behind to a turn.

The full board now read 2♥A♥4♠2♠. With the action checked to Barbero, he led out for 14,000 with only the Hall continuing.

The 6♦ fell on the river and the action checked through. Hall showed J♥9♥ while Barbero showed A♠7♠.

Once the pot was shipped his way, Barbero was quick to announce he thought his play was a "nitty check-back".

Jose Ignacio Barbero	240,000 240,000	240,000

Galen Hall	121,000

Yasuhiro Waki	102,000 23,000	23,000

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was opened by Matt Berkey in early position to 10,000. Every player folded except the big blind who defended. The players were off to a flop heads up.

The dealer burned and turned the K♠A♣K♥ flop and action checked through.

The turn came the J♥ and the big blind checked again. Berkey now hit the gas pedal and bet out for 11,000. The big blind thought for a moment and made the call.

The river landed a relative blank in the 5♦ and the big blind checked once more. Berkey thought for only a moment before putting out a bet of 25,000.

The player in the blinds thought for about a minute but eventually made the fold. Berkey scooped and chipped up as the players get below the 200 runners remaining mark.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Jozoff opened under the gun to 10,000. Action folded all the way to Brent Hanks in the big blind who made the call.

The K♥3♠4♠ flop was laid out and Hanks started with a check. Jozoff only took a minute before putting out a bet of 7,000. Hanks made the call.

The 8♣ hit the turn and the action went check and check. The river landed a 2♦ and then Hanks put out a bet of 16,000. Jozoff checked his cards but ultimately thought better of a call and gave them back to the dealer.

Michael Jozoff	240,000 240,000	240,000
Brent Hanks	105,000 30,000	30,000

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andre Akkari raised from early position to 11,000. Dylan Linde in the cutoff three-bet to 27,000 and Akkari called

The flop came Q♠Q♣3♥. Akkari check-called a bet of 14,000 from Linde and both players went to the turn.

The 10♠ fell. This time Akkari check-raised a bet from Linde from 19,000 to well over 100,000, enough to put Linde all in.

Linde sat on his decision, visibly uncomfortable as he mulled over all his options. Eventually, he folded and Akkari won this pot.
