Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Brian Jumper opened to 800 from under the gun and Jorge Guzman Florez three-bet to 1,200 from the hijack. Diogo De Souza Gonçalves called from the cutoff and Jumper topped up to take the players three-ways to the flop.

The 3♣J♠3♠ was fanned and Jumper checked. Florez tanked before moving out 2,500. Both players called behind and the A♠ fell on the turn.

Jumper make a quick check, Florez took a long time to check behind. Gonçalves took some time to push out 5,700 and Jumper mucked. Florez tanked before raising to 15,000 and Gonçalves tank-called.

A 9♥ river saw both players snap checked to showdown. Florez showed J♥Q♣ for two pair. Gonçalves eventually took the pot after tabling his Q♠10♠ having the turned flush, from a hand that lasted over five minutes.

Karapet Galstyan limped from the hijack before Haruhiko Shinohara made it 2,000 on the button. Naoto Takeya made it 4,000 from the small blind, and John Wasnock called out of the big blind.

Galstyan opted to fold before Shinohara ripped it for 51,700. His countryman, Takeya, folded, but Wasnock did not, as he called to put Shinohara at risk.

Haruhiko Shinohara: K♣K♠All in
John Wasnock: Q♠Q♣

Shinohara was well ahead of Wasnock as they went to a runout.

The board did not bring any drama as it spread out A♥10♠7♣5♥6♣ to award Shinohara the double up and drop Wasnock back down to below a starting stack.
