Tim Baker

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After two checks from the blinds on a flop of 5♣K♦A♣, Ludovic Geilich bet 4,500 from the button. Fernando Gutierrez called from the small blind, and Conrad De Armas folded out of the big blind.

The 4♦ appeared on the turn and Gutierrez checked again. Geilich gathered together a bet of 15,000, which was enough to get Gutierrez to lay his hand down.

Paulino Dias raised to 1,500 from under the gun and Josh Arieh reraised to 3,000 on the button. Dias inadvertently called out of position before Youngsik Eum had the chance to call from the big blind. They eventually three ways to a flop of Q♣10♣2♦.

Eum quickly checked and Dias splashed in a bet of 9,000. Arieh called and Eum got out of the way. The turn was the 4♣ and Dias made a pot-sized bet of 27,800. Arieh deliberated for a minute and then threw his cards into the muck.

The 3♠ appeared on the turn and the action checked to Levy again. Levy bet 9,500, which this time got both of his opponents to fold.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

William Benson reraised the pot and Jonathan Dwek then got his severe short stack into the middle as they tabled their cards.

Jonathan Dwek: A♥K♦9♦4♦ All in
WIliam Benson: K♠K♣Q♣4♥

The 8♠7♥4♣6♦10♦ board kept the pocket kings ahead but Dwek was not leaving instantly. He checked his cards again and said "straight!?" but since two cards need to be used, he only had ace-king high and was eliminated.

On the tail end of a K♠5♠4♦J♣7♠ board, Steven Levy bet the pot for 18,600 for nearly his entire remaining stack. Patrik Jaros went deep into the tank and then called, tossing the chips towards the middle of the table already.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Uri Reichenstein limped under the gun, Behnam Patros called from the next seat, and Amichai Barer called from middle position. Samir Hage raised to 1,500 from the hijack with Krasimir Yankov calling from the cutoff, and Xuedong Li calling from the big blind. Reichenstein called, Patros called, but Barer limp-raised to 10,700. Only Li and Reichenstein called.

Three ways to the 2♠4♥9♣ flop. After two checks Barer bet 28,000 with just a few thousand behind. Li jammed for 60,000, which got Reichenstein to fold. Barer called and the cards were revealed.

Amichai Barer: A♠A♥3♠2♥ All in
Xuedong Li: J♣10♠9♠3♣

Barer had aces but Barer had a lot of outs with two cards to come. The rest of the board came 7♦9♦ and Li won the pot with trips on the river, eliminating Barer.
