Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Carney limped in from early position and Daniel Hirose bumped it up to 12,000 from the hijack. Arsenii Karmatckii, in the big blind, cold-called, and Carney also put in the extra chips.

Three players watched the 2♣K♠6♦ flop hit the felt, which checked around to Hirose. He threw out 10,000, and both of his opponents called.

A 5♠ landed on the turn and again the action got to Hirose, who kept up the aggression with a bet of 35,000. Karmatckii let it go, and Carney's cards followed into the muck, allowing Hirose to take the pot.

Romanello checked the 9♦K♥Q♣ flop, and Moctezuma bet 8,000. Kehoe and Romanello called.

When the 6♣ hit the turn, Romanello and Moctezuma checked, prompting Kehoe to bet 25,000. This was enough to get two folds from Romanello and Moctezuma, allowing Kehoe to pick up the pot.
