Guzman Calls Down Rodgin

Ryan Lashmar

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Isaac Rodgin opened to 2,500 from middle position, Roger Stamey called from the small blind with 2♠2♣ and Dario Dussan Guzman squeezed to 12,500 from the big blind. Only Rodgin called.

The flop came 8♣10♣5♣. Guzman checked, Rodgin bet 4,000 and Guzman called.

Guzman check-called a 12,000 bet from Rodgin on the J♣ turn before both players checked the 7♠ river.

Rodgin was bluffing with A♥Q♦ while Guzman had the second-nut flush with A♠K♣ to take the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 90,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 6♠J♥8♣, Hye Park had 35,000 in front of him on the button when Fernando Rodriguez bumped it up to 90,000. Park didn’t rush, taking his time before making the call.

The J♠ turn paired the board and added a potential flush draw to the mix. Rodriguez didn’t slow down, quickly firing a bet of 76,000. Park took his time, clearly facing a tough decision, before finally sliding in the chips to call, leaving himself just 65,000 behind.

The river brought the 3♠, completing the backdoor flush draw. This time Rodriguez checked, and after a pause, Park checked it back.

“I’ve got king-high,” Rodriguez admitted, but Park didn’t react, waiting until the hand was properly tabled. Rodriguez showed K♣7♣ for a bluff, and Park turned over A♣A♠ for two pair, aces and jacks, dragging in a crucial pot from one of the Day 3 big stacks.

Down on the Farm

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

High-stakes pro Michael Rocco took to farming after a series of near misses last year, and the beat he just received in the Main Event likely has him dreaming of crops and fields.

Picking up the action on a flop of Q♦6♥4♥ in a three-way pot, Greg Raymer bet in early position and Michael Rocco called in the cutoff as Hung Nguyen called on the button.

Raymer bet 20,000 on the 7♠ turn and Rocco shuffled his chips behind rose-tinted sunglasses before moving all in for around 134,500. Nguyen folded and the 2004 Main Event champion called.

Michael Rocco: 5♣3♣ All in
Greg Raymer: 6♠6♦

Rocco had turned a straight on Raymer's set of sixes, but the dealer put down the Q♠ river to improve Raymer to a full house. Rocco, visibly frustrated, flicked his chips toward the pot as he stood up from his seat.

Rocco regained his composure moments later and left on a light note. "You guys don't mind if I play with that 25,000 chip, do you?" he joked as he pointed to a green chip that the dealer had yet to give Raymer.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Gary Tomes opened to 6,000 from the hijack and picked up two callers in Dustin Schoonover from the small blind & Viet Vo in the big blind.

The flop fell 3♥A♠8♠ and once it checked to Tomes, he continued for 7,000. Schoonover then check-raised to 17,000, Vo cold-called, and Tomes got out of the way.

A K♠ landed on the turn and Schoonover checked it over to Vo, who bet 34,500. Schoonover had just under 80,000 in his stack and was in the tank for around four minutes while he contemplated how to proceed. He looked like he was going to call, then fold, but eventually decided to shove for 79,500.

"Oh my god, what the hell," said a shocked Vo, who was laughing to himself at the situation.

"All that time in the tank, it's probably going to work for you," he added. Eventually, after spending a few minutes in the tank himself, Vo called.

"Do you have a flush?" asked Schoonover. "Yeah, I got it," replied Vo.

Dustin Schoonover: A♣K♥ All in
Viet Vo: 9♠3♠

Schoonover couldn't believe it and was up and out the door as soon as the 4♠ hit the river. Vo, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief that his flush was good, which brought his stack to around 240,000.

"Nice hand," said one of the table. Vo responded, "Man, I thought he had it. All that tanking was going to work out for him."

Loni Hui opened to 5,000 with A♠K♥ and received calls from Isaac Rodgin in the cutoff with A♥10♦ and Hisashi Yamanouchi in the big blind with Q♠6♣.

The flop came A♦2♠8♣ and action checked around to Hui who fired a 12,000 continuation bet. Only Rodgin called.

Hui continued for 30,000 when checked to on the 7♥ turn and this time Rodgin opted to fold.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jonah Silverstein opened to 6,000 from early position and was called by Robbi Jade Lew in middle position, Mihai Niste on the button, and Justin Pechie in the big blind.

Both the 10♥6♦5♠ flop and the 2♠ turn checked all the way through.

On the K♣ river, Pechie checked to Silverstein who overbet the pot with a 30,000 sizing. It quickly folded back to Pechie who responded with check-raise to 90,000, and Silverstein laid it down after a small tank.

Jonah Silverstein	505,000 54,500	54,500

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

As recounted by the table, Chahn Jung had raised pre-flop and got one caller before Michael Zulker three-bet to 22,500.

Zulker was the only caller and the flop came 8♠5♥3♣. Zulker continued for 27,000 and Jung raised to 60,000. Zulker called.

The pair checked the J♣ turn and the river was the J♠. Zulker bet 85,000 and Jung raised to 205,000.

Zulker eventually folded with the table imploring Jung to show the bluff, but he slid his hand face down into the muck.

Ezell Forces Out Schutten

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With the 9♥6♥5♥ flop going check, check, Brek Schutten in the big blind led the 5♦ turn for 7,000. Ezell grabbed his cards already and was on the verge of tossing them to the muck. He then changed his mind, grabbed into the stack and raised for almost his entire remaining stack.

Schutten smirked and clapped his hands for the cinematic performance.
