There was a raise to 1,200 in early position and three players called including Greg Raymer in the cutoff. The flop came 10♥4♦3♥ and the action checked to the cutoff who bet 1,300. Everyone called and the 3♣ paired the board on the turn.

The action checked around this time and the 8♥ landed on the river. It checked to Raymer again who was last to act and he splashed in a bet of 10,000. All of his opponents mucked their cards and Raymer collected the pot.

Another Tough Spot For Baumann

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

According to her, Gaelle Baumann is having a rough time today, "running into the nuts every time." Unfortunately for her, it is not getting better, like when a player in the cutoff opened to 1,300. Baumann called in the big blind to see the flop 7♣Q♥J♠.

The cutoff continued to 2,000, then fired a second barrel of 4,000 on the turn 2♥. Both times, Baumann check-called.

But when the cutoff moved all in for 8,700 chips on the river 3♣, Baumann put her head into her hands, struggling to make a decision. She hesitated for a while and eventually folded, showing a Qx.

Multiple raises went in before the flop and it was Kenta Fukuhara and Edward Pak battling for 12,500 in early positions.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠8♣5♣ and Pak continued for 8,500. Fukuhara made the call.

The 2♥ fell on the turn and Pak slammed 70,000 across the line, putting maximum pressure on Fukuhara who had 33,600 remaining. After about 10 seconds, Fukuhara made the call and both hands were tabled.

Kenta Fukuhara: Q♥Q♦
Edward Pak: 10♠10♣

Fukhara let out a sigh of relief as the hands were tabled and the dealer dropped the 3♠ on the river as Fukuhara collected the double.

Jim Murray

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

An orbit of hands was relayed by Jimmy D'Ambrosio to PokerNews describing how he spun his stack up from a dangerously low 2,400, to his current count of 31,000.

In the first hand, D'Ambrosio doubled up when his A♥9♥ held against his opponents J♣9♣. "The board ran out clean on that one," commented D'Ambrosio

D'Ambrosio would double again in a come-from-behind victory when he shoved Q♦J♦ and was called by A♠Q♠. The final board ran out X♠X♠X♦X♦X♦ and the back-door flush brought the count up to 13,500 at this point.

In the final hand before the last break, D'Ambrosio would get another double when his A♣J♣ won a flip against the pocket nines of his opponent on a board that read QxJx4x5xKx.

"Make sure you use a good picture of me," mentioned D'Ambrosio.
