Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

When scouring the roughly 250 tables that are currently running on Day 2abc, there are very few that stand out like Table 453. The action folded around to Stephen Chidwick on the button who made it 4,000 to go. Leonard Maue folded his small blind and Manig Loeser called from the big blind.

The flop came Q♥7♠6♦ and Loeser checked to Chidwick who continued with a bet of 3,000. Loeser check-raised to 9,500 and Chidwick instantly dispatched his cards.

A few hands later, Alexandre Reard opened to 3,000 in early position and Chidwick three-bet to 9,000 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Reard who wanted nothing to do with the high-roller as he quickly folded as well.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tony Reichard and Dingguo Chen went heads-up to the 2♦Q♠5♦ flop where Chen bet 18,000.

Reichard, in the hijack, then shoved all in for 45,000 and Chen went deep in the tank. "Ace-queen of diamonds," he asked Reichard, who remained silent.

Chen eventually folded after several minutes had gone off the clock. "Ask me later and I'll tell you," Reichard said.

"Tell him now," Josh Arieh, who had only recently moved to this table, added.

"One hand beat me on that flop," Reichard replied.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Nick Schulman made it 3,000 to go and received three callers including Natalia Breviglieri on the button. On the 7♥5♥5♠ flop, Schulman bet 4,000 when checked to and Breviglieri was the only caller. The 6♦ turn saw Schulman check and he then called Breviglieri's bet of 6,500.

Schulman checked again the 3♠ river and Breviglieri bet 20,000. That sent Schulman into the tank and he eventually folded.
