Nick Vazquez

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Hunichen raised to 21,000 in the hijack. Veselin Karakitukov called on the button before Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised the pot from the big blind. Hunichen thought for a while before moving all in. Karakitukov folded, but Martinez Gonzalez called.

Chris Hunichen: Q♥Q♣5♦5♣ All in
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♦A♥8♠2♦

The flop of A♣8♦7♦ put Hunichen in a lot of trouble, and the 6♦ had him drawing dead. The 3♣ completed the board, and Martinez Gonzalez got all of Hunichen's chips.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lou Garza made it 15,000 from early position with Jonathan Depa calling from the cutoff, and Gabriel Andrade defending his big blind.

Andrade checked the J♣10♠7♣ flop, and Garza put out a continuation-bet of 25,000. Depa and Andrade called.

Still three ways to the K♠ turn. Andrade checked before Garza bet 100,000. This was enough to get Depa and Andrade to fold.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Richard Gryko opened to 21,000 from under the gun and was called by Farid Jattin in the next seat as well as Nick Schulman in the big blind. They checked the K♦5♦3♦ flop to the 10♠ turn on which Schulman checked again. Gryko checked as well and Jattin then bet 9,000 to force out Schulman.

Gryko had other plans and check-raised to 65,000, earning a call from Jattin. Grsyko used the same sizing for the 5♥ river and Jattin called, but mucked to the Q♦Q♣J♥10♦ by Gryko.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick had bumped it up to 75,000 only for Jared Bleznick to then reraise the pot. That forced a fold from Chidwick, who was tossed to the cards by Bleznick and exposed the A♣A♠10♦6♦.

Soon after, Noah Boeken check-called a bet of 50,000 by Bleznick on the K♣8♥7♥2♦3♣ river. Bleznick's Q♣9♣7♠3♠ were good enough to claim the next pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna checked from the small blind on a board of Q♣J♣4♥K♥, and Jonas Kronwitter bet the pot for 234,000. Suvarna went into the tank for quite some time before he check-shoved to put Kronwitter all in for 398,000 total. Kronwitter instantly called.

Jonas Kronwitter: 10♥9♥8♦3♦ All in
Santhosh Suvarna :K♦K♣7♦6♠

Kronwitter turned a straight against the set of Subarna. Kronwitter needed to fade a board-pairing river to double-up. The 2♦ came on the river, and Kronwitter doubled up to over one million with his straight.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jason Koon limped from the hijack. Jonathan Azoulay called in the small blind, and Seth Davies checked his option.

The flop was J♦5♦3♣, and Azoulay led out for 15,000. Both of his opponents called.

All three players checked on the 7♠ turn. Then on the 2♣ river, Azoulay checked, and Davies fired out 50,000. Koon called, and Azoulay folded.

Koon showed K♣K♥3♠3♥ for a set of threes, and that won him the pot.
