Roxanne Johnson

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was picked up on the river with a board of A♥6♣6♦9♦Q♦, and the pot was about 47,000. Dawid Smolka was in the big blind and bet out 20,000, which would put Timothy Brown all in for his last 15,000 chips. Brown thought for a minute and made the call.

Timothy Brown: A♣10♦ All in
Dawid Smolka: J♣10♥

Smolka was betting his missed straight draw, and Brown had the best hand from the flop with two pair.

Edgaras Kausinis raised from early position to 5,000 and found callers in Renan Bruschi in middle position and Tomoki Terashima in the small blind.

The dealer rolled out the Q♠J♦3♠ flop. Terashima and Kausinis both checked and Bruschi bet out for 6,500. Kausinis folded, and Terashima called, and the players saw the 9♦ peel off on the turn. Again, Terashima checked, and Bruschi bet out for 9,000. Terashima flat called once again.

The dealer peeled off the A♥ as the river, and now Terashima pushed out enough to put Bruschi all in, and Bruschi snap called tabling K♠10♠ for the nuts. "Nice hand" said Terashima as he tossed his A♠6♠ onto the muck.

At a very chatty table, action was followed from the turn 4♠A♦Q♠3♦. Roman Hrabec check-called Minsung Jun for 2,000. The river showed 5♦. Both players checked.

Hrabec flipped his card A♣J♣, and Jun immediately mucked his cards. A few hands later, Jun got eliminated.

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

On the Q♠3♥J♣ flop and the pot already at over 10,000, Steven Nichols bet out for 10,500 from early position, and the action was folded around to Jason Pritchard in late position, who raised all in for his last 26,500. Nichols snap called.

Jason Pritchard: 3♦3♠ All in
Steven Nichols: Q♣10♥

When the A♠ peeled off on the turn, it gave Nichols straight outs to send Pritchard packing but the 5♠ bricked out on the river, and Pritchard was pushed the pot and a much-needed double-up.

Jason Pritchard	64,000 64,000	64,000

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

Marco Meisser raised from early position to 3,000, and all players folded around to Joshua Remitio in the big blind, who made the call.

The players saw the 10♦3♥7♣ roll off as the flop, and Remitio check-called Meisser's 3,500 continuuation bet. The 7♦ dropped as the turn card, and now Remitio decided to lead out for 5,000. Meisser went into the tank before he decided to raise to 15,000, which sent Remitio into the tank for a short while before he called.

The 2♣ peeled off on the river, and Remitio checked. Meisser thought for a while before he moved his remaining 23,000 into the middle, which had Remitio covered.

Remitio went back deeper into the tank before he made the call for his tournament life. Meisser tabled K♥7♥ for turned trips, and Remitio showed 10♣9♣ for top pair as he was sent to the rail.
