Nakamura Takes Big from Le

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The board 5♥9♥3♣4♥7♦ was already completed with a pot containing more than 1,000,000.

Quoc Le sent 600,000 in the middle and Ricardo Nakamura tanked for some time before opting to call. Le tabled K♣J♥ for king-high and Nakamur flippes over K♠K♦ to claim the pot.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kang Hyun Lee raised to 240,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Vanessa Kade on the button who jammed for 1,380,000.

Hyun Lee counted down his stack after getting Kade's exact count and even had the correct amount of calling chips separated from the rest of his stack in what appeared to be a good sign that the players would be headed to a runout.

Eventually, though, Hyun Lee slid his cards toward the muck and the dealer pushed the pot to Kade.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eider Cruz raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Ricardo Nakamura called in the big blind to go see the flop 5♠A♥K♥. Nakamura check-called Cruz's continuation for 150,000.

The 5♣ turn went checked and a 9♣ appeared on the river. Nakamura led out for 315,000 and after a short thinking, Cruz called. Nakamura tabled K♠8♣ for a pair of kings but it wasn't good enough to win the pot as Cruz showed A♠J♦ for a pair of aces.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Kang Hyun Lee raised to 320,000 from the cutoff and Kane Kalas called from the big blind to see the A♠K♣K♦ flop.

Kalas checked to Lee who continued with a bet of 160,000. Kalas made the call to bring the 6♦ out on the turn.

Kalas checked again and Lee put another bet out, this time for 285,000. Kalas paused briefly before sliding his cards into the muck and awarding the pot to Lee.
