The players of Day 2abc are going on a 75-minute dinner break. Below are some of the highlights from the third level of play today:
Stay tuned as PokerNews continues to provide updates throughout the day.
With about 10,000 in the middle on the K♠10♠10♦2♣ flop, Alexander Prokudin checked to Linglin Zeng who dropped a bet of 6,500 across the line. Prokudin made the call.
The 7♦ completed the board on the river and both players tapped the table.
Prokudin tabled K♥8♥ and Zeng mucked her hand.
Michael Marder raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Benjamin Pollak three-bet to 7,300 on the button. It folded back to Marder and he four-bet to 18,000. Pollak came along and they headed to the Q♥J♥J♣ flop on which Marder checked. Pollak now bet 12,000 and won the pot without further resistance.
Dae Woong Song had raised to 3,000 from middle position and was called by the player in the big blind. Song then bet for 2,000 on the K♠9♣K♣ flop and the big blind check-called.
On the K♦ turn, both players checked while the 3♥ river was checked through as well.
The big blind tabled A♠2♣ for ace-high, but Song played the better ace-high with A♥10♦ and chipped up further.
Ok make that two levels that I’ve folded almost every hand. WOW.
Phil Galfond and Hao Zhou were heads-up on a flop of 5♥4♥Q♥ with several thousand already in the middle.
Zhou check-called a 4,500 bet from Galfond and then check-called a 21,000 bet from Galfond on the 9♠ turn.
The K♠ completed the board and Zhou checked a final time. Galfond cut out a bet of 70,000 and placed it into the middle — sending Zhou deep into the tank.
Zhou eventually put in a call and Galfond tabled 2♥2♠. Zhou let out a sigh of relief and tabled A♥A♦ for a pair of aces to take down the large pot.
