Erick Torres

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Kevin Nathan raised to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by Akihiro Konishi in the cutoff. Alejandro Lococo wanted to raise the price of admission and popped it to 4,200 from the small blind.

Nathan folded, but Konishi was not yet done with the hand, and made the call.

The flop of 9♦6♥3♣ led to a bet of 2,500 from Lococo, but Konishi responded with a raise to 7,200. Lococo gave it a moment's thought, but chose to fold to award the pot Lococo.

Sturzeneker Wins with River Jam

Erick Torres

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There was over 15,000 already in the pot on the board of 5♣9♥4♥5♦ when Iago Sturzeneker bet 11,000 from under the gun, which led to a call from Aliaksandr Shylko in the cutoff, and a fold from Brandon Wilson in the big blind.

The J♦ river led to a huge bet by Sturzeneker who opted to go all-in for 64,600. This bet sent Shylko into the tank who took time to weigh the situation.

Shylko eventually folded to give Sturzeneker the pot.
