Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

PokerNews was called over to a table with Sreekanth Nistala and another play heads up on a the turn with close to 100,000 already in the middle.

The late position player had raised pre-flop with the button putting in a three-bet. Nistala then put in a four-bet from the small blind and the initial late position raiser tossed out a five-bet.

The button folded and Nistala made the call to see the 2♥7♣5♦ flop. Nistala checked and his opponent bet out 16,000. Nistala called and brought out the Q♠ on the turn.

Action checked through and the dealer put the 7♠ out on the river.

Nistala open-jammed for enough to put his late position opponent all in. The player in late position entered a very long tank, thinking for about three to four minutes.

Eventually, he uncapped his cards, checked them one last time and slid them into the muck, causing Nistala jump from his chair and slam the A♦K♦ face up in the middle of the table.

His opponent revealed that he had folded KxKx as Nistala collected the pot and celebrated a successful massive bluf with about 15 minutes left if the day.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

During one of the last hands of the day, on a heads-up flop of K♦4♠10♥, Sergio Aguero checked over to his opponent, Michael Monroig, who bet 3,000.

Aguero quickly made the call and the two went to the turn 9♥ where Monroig continued for 6,500 and Aguero check-called again.

The river came the 5♥ and Aguero checked to Monroig once more who fired for 11,500 but Aguero showed no fear and quickly called.

"Straight," Monroig announced as he tabled Q♦J♥ for a turned straight while Aguero flipped over K♣9♣ for a turned two-pair that was unfortunately not enough to win the pot and it was shipped over to Monroig.

Even with this loss, the famous footballer still has a healthy stack of 87,000 to take with him into Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event.
