Level 13

Tom McCormick: J♥10♥2♠ / K♠Q♠A♣10♣
Brian Yoon: XxXxXx / 7♥9♦8♣4♣ - folded on seventh street
Nick Guagenti: XxXxXx / A♦7♦2♣J♠

Tom McCormick completed, and Brian Yoon called. Nick Guagenti raised to put the action back on McCormick. He called, and so did Yoon.

On fourth street, Guagenti bet and was called by McCormick and Yoon. On fifth street, McCormick took the betting lead, with Yoon and Guagenti calling. The same action took place on sixth street.

On the final betting round, McCormick fired out once more. Yoon got out of the way to put the action on Guagenti. He mulled over his options before deciding to call.

McCormick tabled his ace-high straight, and Guagenti mucked his hand.

Rheem Takes Out Katz

Brett Slezak

Level 13

Cary Katz: 5♠4♠ / 2♠2♦K♥Xx / Xx All in
Chino Rheem: J♥J♣ / Q♣6♠J♠Xx / Xx

Action was picked up three-ways on fifth with multiple bets in the middle. Katz led all-in and Rheem raised before Yueqi Zhu let his hand go.

The hole cards were tabled as Katz was in terrible shape against the trip jacks of Rheem. Katz found the 6♦ on sixth to pick up a gutter as Rheem caught the 3♥ and a 9x on seventh. Unfortunately for Katz, he could not find the four-outer on seventh as he peeled the 10♣ and was eliminated.

Tretter completed and Hildebrand called from the bring-in.

Tretter led on fourth and Hildebrand called. Hildebrand took the betting lead on fifth after making open twos.

Hildebrand led again on sixth before the action checked through on seventh. Hildebrand revealed his two pair, fives and twos, which were good against Tretter to drag a modest pot as he becomes one of the largest stacks in the room.
