Clee Silences Kassouf... Almost

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Will Kassouf made it 40,000 from the hijack before Terence Clee three-bet to 70,000 out of the big blind.

Perplexed by the small three-bet, Kassouf retorically asked Clee: "Why so small, why would you raise so small when you know I'm calling?" In the end, Kassouf called.

Before the flop was dealt Clee announced a check in the dark. Kassouf, was now even more baffled by the dark check, opted to check behind on the 10♣6♠2♣ flop, not before saying "As I'm a gentleman, I'll check as well.”

Clee led out for 70,000 when the 8♥ appeared on the turn. Kassouf mulled it over for quite some time before folding, and asking Clee to show one card. Clee responded and said to Kassouf: "If you show both, I'll show both".

Kassouf flipped over K♠Q♣ for king-high, prompting Clee to say: "Good fold, good fold" and turn over 7♣3♠ for just a complete airball with seven-high.

The whole table erupted in laughter and applause at Clee's bluff, including Kassouf, who admitted he was impressed by the play and the tabletalk.

Both players saw a flop of 3♣4♥2♦. Hammaker continued with 50,000 and got called once again.

On the turn 5♣, Hammaker checked. Kanme fired 65,000 and Hammaker wasted no time in pushing all his chips in the middle for 300,000. Kanme folded without hesitation and conceded the pot to Hammaker.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Joseph Baghdalian raised to 30,000 under the gun before Humberto Lopes Galindo three-bet to 80,000 in early position. Baghdalian called and they saw a flop of K♣4♠J♠.

Lopes Galindo continued for 80,000 and Baghdalian called. The turn was the 7♥ and Lopes Galindo moved all in for 325,000. Baghdalian snap-called.

Lopes Galindo showed K♠Q♣ for top pair, but Baghdalian had turned a set holding 7♠7♣. Lopes Galindo was already drawing dead and the 2♠ river was a mere formality as he was sent to the rail.

Andres Gonzalez, the lone remaining member of last year's final table still in the field, is also at this table.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Christopher Demaci raised to 30,000 in the hijack and Alex Bergfors three-bet to 85,000 in the small blind. Demaci called and they went heads-up to a flop of A♦8♦6♣. Bergfors led out with a bet of 30,000 and Demaci raised to 175,000. Bergfors eyed up his opponent's stack and then announced all in which was met by a snap-call from Demaci for his stack of 725,000.

Alex Bergfors: 10♠8♥ All in
Christopher Demaci: A♠8♠

Demaci flopped two pair and had Bergfors nearly drawing dead. The 7♠ on the turn actually gave Bergfors a straight draw but the J♥ on the river bricked out to send a double-up Demaci's way.
