Fenigstein Quarters Ciccarello

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jared Fenigstein limped in early position, with Erick Lindgren calling in the hijack and Mark Ciccarello making the call on the button. Dario Alioto tossed in a call from the small blind and Jonathan Glendinning checked his big blind option.

Action checked to Lindgren on the 236 flop, who bet 2,000. Ciccarello and Fenigstein were the only callers and the 10 turn hit the felt.

Fenigstein led out for 9,500, Lindgren folded and Ciccarello called. The 7 river led to Fenigstein announcing pot, which was quickly called by Ciccarello.

Fenigstein tabled A5422 for the nut low and trip deuces. Ciccarello showed AQJ84 for the same low, seeing three-quarters of the pot head to Fenigstein.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Yuval Bronshtein
Yuval Bronshtein

Three-handed on a board of 48K9, Jeffrey Karp bet 12,600 from the button and Yuval Bronshtein raised to 50,800 under the gun. Chan Pelton was in middle position and took a minute before folding, while Karp called.

The river was the A and Bronshtein checked to Karp who moved all in. Bronshtein only had around 7,000 remaining as he put in his last chips with KKJ106 for a set, but Karp showed him AQ752 for a rivered flush and low as he scooped the pot to send Bronshtein to the rail.
