Michael Giacobbe

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in middle position open-jammed his 28,000-chip stack into the middle. Nobuaki Sasaki raised all in for 37,000 from the hijack before the cutoff moved all in for over 80,000. The button and blinds got out of the way and players went to a runout with two all in and at risk.

Middle Position Player: K♥Q♥ All in
Nobuaki Sasaki: Q♠Q♦ All in
Cutoff: J♣J♦

The board ran out 6♠A♣9♥6♣3♣ and Sasaki's queens held on to eliminate the middle position player and chip up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A full board of K♥9♦4♠10♦6♥ was showing and with around 45,000 chips in the pot, Daniel Smiljkovic bet enough on the river to put Kyle Chang all in. After some time in the tank, Chang elected to put himself at risk.

Smiljkovic tabled 8♠3♠ for just eight-high, and Chang showed 7♦6♦ for a rivered pair of sixes to take the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chris Maguire limped in from the small blind and the big blind checked their option.

Maguire was first to show aggression in this hand, betting for 3,500 on the 2♦A♣Q♣ flop. The big blind called.

The 8♥ turn didn't slow down Maguire, as he sized up to 10,000. The big blind didn't think for long before folding Q♥ face up.

The player in middle position raised to 4,000, Matthew Stout called in the cutoff, as did Frank Lagodich, on the button.

The action checked to Lagodich who took the lead for 8,000 on the 7♣K♣3♠ flop. The original raiser called and Stout quickly raised to 30,000. Lagodich called and the player in middle position folded.

The A♦ fell on the turn and Stout bet enough to put Lagodich all in for his effective stack of approximately 50,000.

"I had the best hand on the flop," Lagodich laughed as he mulled over his decision. Lagodich eventually chose to fold and Stout took down this pot without a showdown.

The action was caught as Jared Jaffee, who was on the button, had his opponent Fiodor Martino, in the small blind, all in and at risk with the full board having been dealt 4♦Q♣K♥A♥2♠.

Jaffee only marginally covered Martino by 7,000 chips as the cards were tabled.

Fiodor Martino: A♣Q♦ All in
Jared Jaffee: K♣4♣

It was a two-pair versus two-pair collision that saw the pot shipped to Martino, leaving Jaffee short.
