Nick Vazquez

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Charles Pinckernell raised to 6,000 in the hijack. That was met by a three-bet by Zdenek Zizka to the minimum of 9,000. Pinckernell made the call.

The flop came out K♥Q♠6♦ and both players checked. The turn was the 8♣ and now Pinckernell bet out 7,000. Zizka called.

The river was the 8♥ and Pinckernell fired out 18,000. Zizka thought for a while before making the call, and Pinckernell showed A♥8♦, which won him the pot.

Meanwhile, Brad Owen has re-entered the event at this table, and now has 66,000.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Renan Bruschi raised to 8,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel jammed all in from the small blind. Bruschi wasted little time calling off his stack of 99,500 and the cards were face up.

Renan Bruschi: 8♠8♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: K♦9♥

The flop fell 6♠5♥2♥ and Bruschi was still in front with his pocket pair. The 7♦ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river changed nothing and Bruschi mocked Kabrhel as he earned a double up.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hirokazu Kobayashi opened this pot with a raise to 8,000 under the gun. That was called by Ren Lin on the button and Antonio Galiana in the big blind.

The flop was A♣5♠3♣ and action checked to Lin. He bet 10,000, and only Galiana called.

The turn was the K♦, and Lin now bet 25,000 when the action checked to him. Gailana once again called.

The river was the 4♦, Gailana checked and Lin bet 70,000, all of his chips except a single yellow 1,000 chip. Gailana thought for a long time before making the call. Lin turned over 5♣5♥ for a flopped set, and that won him the pot.
