Christian Zetzsche

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

"He jammed into me on the river when I had the nuts," Anson Tsang said as he had just scored a full double against Jon Shoreman. The latter was then all-in for a single T-500 chip from the big blind and up against Sonny Franco in the small blind.

Jon Shoreman: A♣Q♠Q♥6♣ All in
Sonny Franco: K♥8♣7♥3♥

The A♥8♠8♥6♦J♦ board gave Franco trips eights and that spelled the end for Shoreman.

Shaun Deeb and Yueqi Zhu were heads-up in a pot with around 45,000 in the middle. The flop came 7♣4♠4♣ and the two players got their chips in the middle with Deeb at risk for 26,500.

Shaun Deeb: A♣Q♣5♥3♥ All in
Yueqi Zhu: AxAx6x5x

The 9♦ on the turn changed nothing but the 9♣ on the river gave Deeb a flush and that was enough to double up through Zhu.

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

Multi ways to the 8♥6♥4♦ flop, the action checked to Phillip Mighall and he bet 7,500. Charles Sylvestre and Rami Boukai called to then see the 4♠ on the turn. Boukai checked once again, and Mighall now bet 15,500. Sylvestre folded, and Boukai called.

They checked the 8♦ on the river, and Boukai tabled the 9♦9♣8♣8♠ for quads eights to scoop the pot.

The table has received somewhat of a face-lift with the additions of Mighall, Marco Johnson, and David Funkhouser while Oziel Velador and Nacho Barbero had been eliminated.

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

Stephen Chidwick raised it up from middle position and Lenny Dicicco reraised to 31,000 on the button. Chidwick called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♥5♦4♥. Chidwick checked to Dicicco who made a pot-sized bet of 65,000 which Chidwick called.

The turn was the K♥ and both players checked to the 10♣ on the river. Chidwick led out with a bet of 40,000 and Dicicco instantly pushed all in for 145,500. Chidwick asked for a count and then called. Dicicco turned over K♠K♦6♠6♥ for a set of kings but Chidwick held J♣9♥7♥4♣ for a flush to eliminate Dicicco.

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

Charles Sylvestre raised to 7,000 and Matt Vengrin three-bet the pot to 24,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Sylvestre and he checked how many chips Vengrin had left behind - 14,000 more - and folded.

Shortly after, Sylvestre made it 7,000 to go and was called by Rami Boukai in the big blind. Boukai checked the A♠7♠6♣ flop and Sylvestre bet the pot for 18,500, which Boukai reluctantly called.

"Do you have any big chips left?" Boukai asked on the 10♥ turn and Sylvestre shook his head, replied "I have around sixty". Boukai bet the pot and Sylvestre sigh-folded once more.

New in the field on nearby tables are Aaron Katz and Jared Bleznick.
