Vazquez Folds After Lengthy Tank

Milko van Winden

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

There was already 5,900,000 in the middle when big blind Jason James bet 3,000,000 on a 8♣2♦4♠ flop. Luis Vazquez sat in middle position and called to see the Q♦ on the turn.

This was enough for James to go all in for 12,025,000 which was more than Vazquez had behind. He sat on a stack of 10,675,000 and needed to make a decision for his tournament life.

Vazquez went deep into the tank and thought about it for multiple minutes. At some point he got up from his chair to drink water and when he sat down again he let go of his hand.

David Salituro

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Brian Kim raised to 525,000 in middle position and Aliaksandr Shylko called on the button, as did big blind Orson Young.

The flop came Q♠J♥3♥ and action checked to Shylko who bet 600,000. Only Kim called.

The turn was the 10♠ and Shylko bet another 1,400,000. Kim then raised to 4,425,000, Shylko moved all in, and Kim called for 200,000 more.

Shylko showed Q♦J♦ for top two pair, but Kim had turned the nut straight holding A♦K♥. The 4♠ river didn't improve Shylko and Kim doubled up.

Three Streets of Value for Foxen

Calum Grant

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Kristen Foxen opened to 500,000 from middle position and Tomas Szwarcberg defended his big blind with the A♠8♥.

Szwarcberg check-called for 450,000 on the 9♠7♦2♣ flop, bringing in the 10♥ turn. Szwarcberg checked once more and Foxen continued with the aggression, sizing up to 1,600,000. Szwarcberg took his time before calling.

With 5,475,000 in the pot, the 2♠ completed the board. Szwarcberg put in a third check, prompting Foxen to fire a third barrel of 3,200,000 after some thinking time of her own.

Szwarcberg went back into the tank, and found a call.

Foxen tabled J♣J♦ for two pair, which was good to take the pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Start of day chipleader Kevin Davis opened to 600,000 from under the gun and Gerardo Hernandez three-bet to 2,000,000 in the cutoff. Davis responded by four-betting to 6,100,000 before snapping off with the slightly larger stack after Hernandez shoved for 19,600,000.

Gerardo Hernandez: A♠A♣ All in
Kevin Davis: K♦K♣

It was the ultimate preflop cooler with massive equity implications on the line. The J♦10♣9♥ flop did give Davis some hope in the form of a gutshot but nothing changed on either the J♠ turn or 2♦ river to hand Hernandez a huge double that sees him capture the tournament chiplead while leaving Davis with dust.
