Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Luis Galvao raised to 900 under the gun. Najeem Ajez called in middle position, Chase Watson did so in the seat next to him, Vernon Barlow came along in the cutoff, and Jesse Lonis and Paul Hong called in the blinds.

It checked to Barlow on the 6♠A♠4♠ flop, who bet 1,100. Lonis then raised to 3,900, which folded out the entire table, including Barlow.

Barbero's Read Is Spot On

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Nacho Barbero squeezed to 5,000 on the button and Sean Jazayeri called from early position. In between them was Daniel Wirgau, who had two T-1,000 chips out in front and called as well after some consideration.

The 7♣5♦2♠ flop was checked to Barbero, who bet 7,000. Jazayeri folded and Wirgau then pushed all in.

"You finally decided to get it in with tens, right?" Barbero murmured, and gave it a few seconds before he folded by adding, "I can't beat tens."

Wirgau collected the pot, but not before revealing his cards - it was the 10♦10♥.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

From middle position, Chase Watson checked the 2♣J♦6♠8♠Q♣ river over to David Peters in the cutoff. Peters then put Watson all-in for his last 15,500. Watson weighed his options, eventually deciding to call.

Watson's Main Event came to an early end when Peters tabled 10♣9♣ for the nuts, and Watson's cards disappeared into the muck.
