Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was joined on the river with the board reading 2♠6♦2♦4♥10♥ with a pot of about 7,500 in the middle and three players in the hand.

Giuseppe Pantaleo made an overbet for 9,000. Vincent Kent called while the third player in the hand folded.

Pantaleo sheepishly flashed the 9♠ before tossing his cards into the muck when Kent showed the 5♥4♦ as he added some more chips to what has been a solid start for the Phoenix, AZ native.

Action picked up with WSOP bracelet winner Blair Hinkle involved in hand with the board showing K♣10♦4♣.

Hinkle, who was on the button, had just raised his opponent, who called to bring on the turn in a pot with more than 16,000.

The dealer placed A♥ on the turn and Hinkle’s opponent checked. Hinkle took his time, alternating glances to his opponent and the board, before moving all in with his remaining 26,000.

Hinkle’s opponent counted out chips, then placed them in front of his stack. After up to 30 seconds elapsed, the opponent made the call to put Hinkle at risk.

Blair Hinkle: 4♠4♥ All in
Opponent: A♣K♥

Hinkle’s flopped bottom set was ahead of his opponent’s top two pair, and Hinkle took the pot when 8x arrived on the river.

A player at the cutoff position raised to 600, and then four-time WSOP bracelet winner Kristen Foxen, who was on the button, three-bet to 2,000.

The blinds folded, and Foxen’s opponent called.

The dealer fanned 9♦2♣2♦ on the flop, and the player at the cutoff led out with a 2,000 bet. Foxen quickly looked at her opponent, and then announced a raise to 7,000. Her opponent called.

The K♦ appeared on the turn, and Foxen’s opponent checked.

Foxen, however, did not slow down and made a 12,000 bet, which resulted in her opponent quickly folding his hand.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three-way action went to a flop of 2♣A♠6♥. Maxime Chilaud tossed out 1,000 from under the gun, Jonathan Little called in the cutoff and Aliaksandr Shylko also called in the big blind.

The turn was the 5♦. Chilaud continued with another bet for 3,800 which both opponents called again after a bit of thought from each.

The river came the K♣. Chilaud checked this time which opened the door for Little to bet 12,000. Shylko thought for about 30 seconds before he folded, while Chilaud did so instantly to send Little the pot.
