Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Oleksii Haievskyi raised to 60,000 from middle position and Gus Vergos called from late position, Kris Prickett called from the button and Loan Truong four-bet all in for 415,000. Everyone called the four-bet. The flop came out as J♣8♠10♦ and everyone checked to Prickett who moved all in for 600,000 and it was heads up as the other two players were forced to fold.

Loan Truong: J♦J♠ All in
Kris Prickett: A♦A♣

The turn 4♦ and river 9♣ did not alter the fact that Truong won with a set of jacks.

Roxanne Johnson

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 60,000 and the player on the button three-bet to 150,000 and Brice Ringler four-bet all in to 465,000. The cutoff folded and in the confusion Ringler exposed his cards before the button had made a decision. The play continued and the button asked for a count and then made the call.

Brice Ringler: A♠Q♠ All in
Button: K♣6♣

The table was in shock regarding the call. The board ran out with 7♠4♠3♠K♥J♥ and Ringler hit the second nut flush for the nice scoop.

There has been no shortage of all-ins in the first level of play, as many players came into Day 2 on a short stack.

Cassandra Yong: Q♣Q♦ All in
Big blind: 10♣6♣

Yong had a very strong hand for her stack and position and was able to get a light call from the big blind. The board ran out 2♠10♠4♥Q♠2♥ and Yong was able to avoid elimination and double up.

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Four players saw the flop of 9♣J♠5♠. The player in the big blind bet out for 140,000 and Ivan Berrios in middle position raised to 280,000. The players in late position and on the button folded. Big blind did not have much more left behind, thought for a moment and then put the rest of his chips in for a call.

Big blind: J♣4♣ All in
Ivan Berrios: A♠6♠

The big blind was at risk and ahead on the flop, and made two pair on the 4♠ turn, but Berrios made the flush. The river was the K♦ and Berrios won the pot.

The table commented that the big blind just moved to an unlucky seat, as another player recently busted from there.
