Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Maki Fuchigami raised to 20,000 under the gun, and faced a reraise from Steven Buckner in the big blind to 70,000.

Fuchigami made the call. The flop hit J♣7♥6♠, and Buckner bet 50,000, which Fuchigami also called.

The turn of 10♦ landed and Buckner went all in with his 560,000 chips.

"Believe me, we can play stack for stack," Buckner said while chomping on a cigar as per his norm. Fuchigami considered it for some time before electing to fold.

"Gonna be a good day," Buckner said.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christopher Dupuy opened for 20,000 and got a raise to 30,000 from Jeremy Brown in the small blind. Brown was so focused on whether big blind player Miguel Fiscal was going to call or not that when Fiscal folded, Brown showed one card - an ace - totally forgetting that Dupuy was still in the hand.

As he showed his card and everyone in a unified voice said, "No...," all he could do was say "Oh s***" It was the start of the day and with players still warming up, everything remained friendly and Brown said he would check blind.

The board ran 2♦9♣A♥4♥K♥ with both players checking it through. Dupuy said he had a king. Brown replied, "I have an ace," and turned over his cards A♦8♣, to which Dupuy answered to the laughter of the table, "I know."

Lucas Jumalon opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from the hijack, before Quang Tran shoved for 64,000 on the button. Jumalon asked how much, and called.

Quang Tran: 7♥7♦ All in
Lucas Jumalon: K♥J♥

Jumalon took the lead on the J♦5♥9♠ flop, and kept it through to the end of the A♥5♦ runout. "And they say it's a skill game," he said, while scooping the pot

Not Amicucci Time to Go

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nicholas Amicucci, on the button, open shoved all in for around 80,000 and got called by small blind Kari Paajanen, who mistakenly thought he was the big blind and last to act. He ended up showing his hand with big blind Andrew Bart still to act.

The floor was called with no real consequence as Bart folded, leaving the two players to head to showdown.

Nicholas Amicucci: K♥7♦ All in
Kari Paajanen: K♦K♣

Once the hands were tabled, Amicucci was prepared to leave and hit the rails but the gods that be had other plans as the board ran 5♦10♣6♥8♣4♦, giving him a straight for a double up.

Nahum Gets Lucky Against Mason

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Erik Mason opened the action with a shove from the hijack, for a total of 85,000. Thomas Bolton then called in the cutoff, before Kfir Nahum cut out a reraise to 200,000. Bolton then folded.

Erik Mason: J♠J♥ All in
Kfir Nahum: 10♥10♦

Mason was ahead, but still had his phone out, ready to record in case of a bad beat. As if he knew it was coming, he let out a knowing smile as the 9♣10♠5♠ flop put his opponent well in the lead. The Q♦ turn improved him to more outs, but they bricked on the 7♦ river.

"For a triple up, as well!" he said in disbelief as he left the tournament area.
