Nick Vazquez

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Joao Simao limped in from early position. Michael Moncek called from the cutoff, Veselin Karakitukov called from the small blind and Erik Seidel checked his option.

The flop was 9♦9♥8♠. Action checked to Simao, who bet 35,000. Only Moncek called.

Both players checked on the 6♦, then on the 6♠ river, Simao bet 85,000. Moncek tossed in the call. Simao showed K♥J♠9♣7♥ for trip nines, and that won him the pot.

Najeem Ajez raised on the cutoff to 55,000, and Christopher Frank, on the button, made the call. Frank Crivello then increased the price of poker to 210,000 from the small blind, and both Ajez and Frank called.

Crivello then moved the rest of his stack into the middle, roughly 400,000, on the 3♦9♠9♦ flop. Ajez folded, but Frank made the immediate call.

Frank Crivello: A♣Q♥J♣9♣ All in
Christopher Frank: A♦K♥6♥2♦

The turn A♠ improved Crivello to a full house, and after the dealer revealed the 2♠ river, the pot was pushed towards Crivello.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Farid Jatten in the small blind, who limped. Big blind Alex Foxen raised to 45,000, and Jatten made the call.

Both players checked the Q♦J♥6♥ flop, which prompted Jatten to lead out on the 3♦ turn, betting 90,000. Foxen called, and the two continued to a river.

The river J♠ was enough to slow Jatten down, electing to check. Foxen wasn't done with the pot yet, though, sliding out a bet of 285,000.

Jatten looked suspicious and even used a time bank whilst considering what to do, ultimately choosing to fold.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Foxen	1,430,000 95,000	95,000

Farid Jattin	1,350,000 214,000	214,000
