In a blind versus blind situation, Jonah Labranche raised to 3,500,000 and after some thinking, Bruno Fuentes called to see a flop 2♥Q♥6♣. Fuentes check-folded after Labranche continued for 2,500,000.
Jonah Labranche opened with a 2,100,000 bet from cutoff and got called by Jeffrey Tanouye in the big blind to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out 3♥Q♦4♥. With action passed to him, Labranche continued with 1,000,000 and got called once again.
On the turn A♦, Labranche continued the pressure with a 6,000,000 bet after Tanouye checked again. It was enough to make Tanouye fold and concede the pot.
On a first hand, Jesse Yaginuma raised to 2,000,000 under the gun and received a call from Jacques Ortega in the small blind before James Carroll decided to three-bet to 7,500,000. It was enough to grab the pot right away.
A few minutes later, Jonah Labranche raised to 2,500,000 and it folded to Carroll in the blinds who three-bet to 7,500,000. Once again, Carroll grabbed the pot preflop.
Josh Reichard opened to 2,000,000 from the button and got called by Jonah Labranche in the small blind.
The flop dropped 9♣K♣2♠. Labranche check-called Reichard's bet of 2,500,000. On the 8♠ turn, Reichard made an over bet of 14,500,000 which made Labranche fold without hesitation.
James Carroll opened to 2,000,000 under the gun and Josh Reichard three-bet to 5,300,000 two seats over. Jeffrey Tanouye shoved in the small blind for 13,100,000 and Reichard called after Carroll let it go:
Jeffrey Tanouye: Q♠Q♥
Josh Reichard: K♣9♥
Reichard couldn't hit anything throughout the board 2♠2♥10♣8♥J♠ and Tanouye took down the pot and the double up.
Josh Reichard opened to 2,000,000 in cutoff. Bruno Fuentes in the small blind three-bet to 12,000 and Alejandro Ganivet on the big blind, checked what Fuentes had behind then made the call. Reichard decided to fold leaving the two players to go toe to toe.
The flop came 5♥2♠5♠. Fuentes shoved all-in for around 6,000,000 and Gavinet snap-called.
Bruno Fuentes: 7♥7♠
Alejandro Ganivet: A♠10♠
Fuentes was ahead but Ganivet had additional outs with a flush draw for a possible upset. The 10♣ turn dropped giving Ganivet the lead with the higher pair. The 6♦ river card didn't improve Fuentes' hand, eliminating him in the process.
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Jesse Yaginuma raised in the cutoff to 2,400,000 and Jonah Labranche, in the blinds, moved a pile of 1,000,000 chips in front of him to put Yaginuma at risk for his remaining stack of 18,200,000. The latter snap called.
Jesse Yaginuma : K♦K♠
Jonah Labranche: A♠J♦
No bad surprise came for Yaginuma with a board 4♥3♥Q♠3♠2♥ and he took down the pot to double up.
