Kai Cocklin

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brad Owen opened the cutoff to 5,000, and Alex Greenblatt called from the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦10♣4♦, and after Greenblatt checked, Owen bet 11,000. Greenblatt made the call.

A 3♥ landed on the turn, and Greenblatt checked once again, only to face another sizable bet from Owen, this time to the tune of 21,000. The price of poker was too much for Greenblatt as he sent his cards back to the dealer and Owen was pushed the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Wagner Wysotchanski three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind before Roland Israelashvili moved all in from the cutoff. Wysotchanski called for his last 42,500.

Wagner Wysotchanski: 9♣9♥ All in
Roland Israelashvili: 6♦6♠

Wysotchanski was ahead with his pair of nines as the flop came 2♥8♠9♦. "That's a pretty good start," a tablemate said as Wysotchanski made top set.

The rest of the board came A♠7♣, and Wysotchanski doubled up.

Jean-Robert Bellande recently busted 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer to claim his bounty, as well as a signed fossil. "If you do well in the Main Event, you can treat me to a nice dinner," Raymer told him.
