Gonzaga Continues his Run

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Terry Gonzaga was all-in for 13,000 and got one customer, Julien Sitbon in the big blind, putting him at risk.

Terry Gonzaga: JJ All in
Julien Sitbon: AK

Sitbon needed his overcards to hit the board to take the lead but there was no ace or king on the flop 5104. Gonzaga was looking at a potential double up when the J came improving his hand further.

With a full house on the river 4, his victory was cemented, ensuring that he continued his main event run.

Safian Doubles Through Vertes

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the flop showing K83, Jeffrey Vertes had bet 2,000 and Manuel Safian in the big blind check-jammed for 18,100. That sent Vertes into the tank for most of his short stack and he eventually called.

Manuel Safian: 75 All in
Jeffrey Vertes: AQ

The nut flush draw of Vertes bricked on the 10 turn and 8 river, and the last eight blinds he had left over vanished shortly after.

Jon Turner
Jon Turner

Robert Akpik opened to 2,000 from middle position and Jon Turner three-bet to 6,700 from the hijack. It was folded back around to Akpik, who called.

Akpik check-called a 5,200 bet from Tuner on the 848 flop and then both players checked on the A turn.

Akpik checked a final time on the Q river and Turner cut out a bet of 8,800 and placed it into the middle. Akpik re-checked his hole cards and then folded — conceding the pot to Turner.

Santhosh Suvarna opened to 2,300 from the hijack and Joris Michl called from the cutoff.

Suvarna continuation bet for 2,700 on the A6K flop and Michl called.

The 9 turn was checked to the 5 river and Suvarna check-called after Michl bet 4,000.

Michl showed A10 for top pair which was good enough to take the pot as Suvarna mucked.

Craig Wins A Four-Bet Pot

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bradley "BJ" Craig opened to 3,500 in the small blind and Joseph Krasner in the big blind three-bet to 8,000. Craig four-bet to 21,500 and Krasner called.

The flop rolled out 3103 and Craig continued for 10,000 to see Krasner called.

Craig sized up on the turn 10 to the tune of 27,000 and Krasner went into the tank before tossing his hand into the muck.

With that, the 50th place finisher in the 2009 WSOP Main Event raked in the pot.

Wick Wins With Tiny Lead

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Corey Wick raised to 2,000 in late position, which Daniel Wilson three-bet to 8,000 in the hijack. Wick called to the 5Q4 flop, where he check-called Wilson's bet of 4,500.

The 4 came on the turn, and Wick checked again. Wilson sized up to 18,000, but Wick stuck around undeterred.

The Q double-paired the board on the river. After taking some time, Wick led out for 4,500, which resulted in a quick fold from his opponent.

Zhao Spikes the River to Double

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao
Jiaming Zhao

Jiaming Zhao, who once famously entered a €5,200 Eight Game Mix tournament at EPT Barcelona and almost cashed despite not knowing any of the games, looking up the rules on his phone between hands and receiving tips via Google Translate, opened to 2,000 from early position.

He was called by Bruce Carter in middle position before Craig Tobin made it 6,000 to go on his left. Gerard Cassis cold-called on the button, and the others came along as well.

Four ways to the 1098 flop, it checked to Tobin who bet 10,000. Cassis folded after a long tank before Zhao moved all-in for 41,000. Carter quickly folded before Tobin snapped it off as the covering stack to put Zhao at risk.

Jiaming Zhao: J9 All in
Craig Tobin: AA

Zhao held middle pair and an open-ender against the overpair of Tobin. Nothing changed on the K turn before the J river gave Zhao two pair, and he collected the full double in a massive pot.

Timerman on the Right Side of a Cooler

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Geronimo Timerman and Joseph Klonowski just got involved in a pot of 106,000, with Timerman being all-in and at risk.

Geronimo Timerman: AA All in
Joseph Klonowski: KK

Timerman found himself on the right side of a cooler and just needed to fade a king on the runout to move into the six-figure club. The dealer produced a board of 9925J, keeping Timerman in the lead the whole way, and he doubled up at the expense of Klonowski.

Devries Takes from Vitch

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christopher Vitch
Christopher Vitch

The action started with a raise to 2,200 from the player under the gun. Carl Devries made the call in the hijack, before Christopher Vitch chose to three-bet to 9,000 from the cutoff.

The initial raiser folded, but Devries called for a second time.

The dealer spread a flop of 8510 and Devries had no interest in playing in flow. He opted instead to lead out into Vitch for 12,000.

A puzzled-looking Vitch took a moment or two to decide how to respond, ultimately deciding just to return his cards to the dealer.

Jaeger Sniffs Out Olofson's Bluff

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Jaeger raised from the cutoff to 2,000, and Adam Olofson three-bet from the big blind to 8,500. Jaeger then four-bet to 22,500 and Olofson called.

The flop came 2410 and Olofson check-called Jaeger's 17,000 continuation bet. Both players checked the 3 turn and saw the K fall on the river.

Olofson now led out for 27,000, which sent Jaeger into the tank for a short while before he made the call tabling AK which crushed Olofson's AJ.
