Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a completed board of A♦J♥8♣4♣K♥, Dennis Weiss checked out of the big blind. Parviz Razavian then bet 15,000 and Weiss reluctantly called.

"I have the nuts," Parvizian declared and his Q♣10♣10♦7♣ won the pot. Also on the table is Esther Taylor, who finished third in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship yesterday.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Thomas Taylor raised it up in middle position and Nacho Barbero just flat-called on his left. The flop came 7♠3♠2♣ and Taylor checked to Barbero who bet the pot for 18,500. Taylor instantly check-raised the maximum and Barbero called off his stack of 42,500.

Nacho Barbero: K♠10♦9♦8♠ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♠K♥Q♥J♠

Both players flopped a flush draw without a pair but it was Taylor who had the distinct edge. However, the 9♥ on the turn gave Barbero the only pair and the 2♥ paired the board on the river.

"You got scammed, man," Barbero said after collecting the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players headed to a flop of Q♣9♣4♥ and the action checked around to the A♥ on the turn. Christian Harder checked again from the blinds and Alan Sternberg took a stab at the pot with a bet of 26,000 in middle position. Daemon Richardson called on the button and Harder got out of the way.

The river was the 2♥ and Sternberg checked after the backdoor flush came in. Richardson splashed in a bunch of T25,000 chips and Sternberg quickly folded, leaving himself with just under starting stack.

Calen McNeil raised to 5,500 in the hijack and was called by Hokyiu Lee on the button. The flop fell K♠J♥4♠ and both players checked to the 9♣ on the turn. McNeil tossed in a bet of 11,000 and Lee just called.

The river was the 7♦ and McNeil sized up a bet of 31,500. Lee thought for a moment and then clicked it back to just 72,000. McNeil looked back at his cards but then decided to lay his hand down.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ryan Bambrick opened to 7,500 in middle position and Michael Rocco three-bet to 24,000 out of the big blind. Bambrick announced "Pot" and Rocco instantly moved all in. Bambrick called off his stack of just over 100,000 and the cards were tabled.

Ryan Bambrick: K♠K♥10♥9♣ All in
Michael Rocco: A♣A♦8♣7♠

The flop came K♦8♠4♠ and Bambrick flopped a set of kings to take a big lead. Rocco grabbed his chips and threw them across the table towards Bambrick, concluding that Bambrick was about to double up. The Q♣ landed on the turn which changed nothing but it was the A♥ on the river that gave Rocco a bigger set and all of the chips came back his way.
