Jerome Solomon

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With the flop showing 10♦6♣Q♣, Gilberto Ramos shoved all in under the gun. Stefan Jauslin, in the big blind, made the call.

Gilberto Ramos: A♠Q♠ All in
Stefan Jauslin: K♥J♦

Jauslin jumped ahead when the K♦ came on the turn and the 8♥ river didn't change anything.

Jauslin asked the dealer to give him his change from the call, as she tried to push the pot to him. He was disappointed that he missed making a straight and didn't realize the king had given him the win.

"Every player has that happen once in his life," he laughed.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jose Bogarin and Todd Brunson just got into a preflop raising war from the blinds, which resulted in Brunson shoving his stack of 40,000. Bogarin instantly called to put the Hall of Famer at risk.

Todd Brunson: Q♣Q♦ All in
Jose Bogarin: A♠A♣

A bit of a cooler for Brunson, who needed a queen to stay in the tournament. However, the runout of J♦9♥5♦5♣10♦ didn't help Brunson, and all of his chips headed over to Bogarin.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Anthony Bakri had opened from the hijack and Michael Rocco called from the small blind.

On the 10♠9♥3♥ flop, Rocco check-called a bet of 2,000 from Bakri.

Rocco checked once more on the J♣ turn as Bakri tossed out another bet of 4,000. Rocco would take a minute to weigh his options before he put out a min-raise to 8,000, and Bakri called.

On the Q♣ river, Rocco led for just 2,400 and Bakri quickly called as Rocco tabled K♥J♠ for the turned top pair and rivered straight as he collected the pot.

The flop came Q♣7♣3♣ and Sells took the initiative and bet 3,000. Cuffari with only 12,000 behind couldn't make the call and folded his hand.
