Diaz Cracks Aces to Eliminate Kampen

Adam Lamers

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises for Elliott Kampen to get all of his chips in the middle for his last 22,000. He was up against Barbaro Diaz who had been running well up to this point and that continued.

Elliott Kampen: A♠A♥K♠10♠ All in
Barbaro Diaz: A♣J♦9♣7♥

The flop came Q♦6♠5♣ and Kampen's aces were still in the lead. However, the 8♥ on the turn gave Diaz a straight and Kampen was drawing dead to the 5♦ on the river.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

From the small blind, Justin Gardenhire bet 15,500 on a board of 5♠10♠Q♠3♠. Prahlad Friedman called from the button.

The 3♣ rolled off on the river, and Gardenhire bet enough to put Friedman all in. The bet was for about 20,000, and after Friedman did some inventory, he made the call. Gardenhire showed a flush with A♠A♦8♥8♠, which was enough to win the pot and eliminate Friedman.

Arie Ori Miller: A♦A♥K♠2♦ All in
Omkar Pachimatla: J♣10♦9♦6♣

Miller had aces against the wrap of Pachimatla. The K♥ turn was safe for Miller, but the 6♠ river improved Pachimatla to a straight. The pot was pushed to Pachimatla, and Miller was out.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Erick Lindgren opened to 2,000 from under the gun and George Wolff three-bet to 7,200 on his left. The action folded back to Lindgren who called to see a flop of 5♦4♦2♠. Both players checked and the 2♦ paired the board on the turn.

Lindgren led out with a bet of 6,000 and Wolff just called. The Q♠ completed the board and Lindgren fired out another bet of 8,000. Wolff thought for a minute before shoving all in for just over 30,000. Lindgren instantly disposed of his cards and Wolff pulled his chips back.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ruben Correia was all in with pocket aces against the A♣A♠9♥4♦ of Ludovic Geilich and the Scotsman said "put a nine or four there" once the flop came Q♣9♣5♦. That request was denied on the 7♥ turn but the 9♦ river improved Geilich to trips nines for the knockout.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Paredes made it 2,000 to go from the hijack. Alex Livingston called on the button, Michael Culyer called from the small blind, and John Reading defended his big blind.

The action checked to Livingston on the 9♠4♥4♠ flop, and he bet 3,500. Only Paredes stuck around with a call.

The 2♦ turn checked through for the 6♥ to land on the river. Paredes bet roughly 10,500, which caused Livingston to quickly fold.
