Foxen Spikes the Redraw to Send Petrangelo Packing

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 6,000 from late position, only to face a three-bet all-in from Kristen Foxen in the next seat to 81,000. Petrangelo double-checked the count and made the call, and it was he at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: 8♦8♠ All in
Kristen Foxen: 9♦9♣

Not the door card Foxen wanted to see on the 8♥5♣Q♠ flop, but when the dealer peeled off the 9♥ as the turn, she stormed back into the lead. No miracles for Petrangelo on the 5♥ river, and he was sent to the rail.

Adrian Mateos open-jammed for his last 40,500 from the cutoff, and Carlos Peixoto called from the big blind.

Adrian Mateos: K♥J♦All in
Carlos Peixoto: 4♦4♥

Mateos needed to hit to stay alive, but the 3♥A♥A♦6♠2♠ board didn't give him anything to work with. He walked straight over to the registration table, bought back in, and collected a new stack.

River Min-Click Gets Paid

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Giuseppe Calio opened to 6,000 in middle position, and was called by Ryan Richardson in the hijack and Yang Zhou in the small blind.

The action checked to Richardson on the 4♦K♥10♦ flop, who bet 11,000. Zhou folded, but Calio called.

Both players then checked on the 6♥ turn, giving Calio the green light to retake the betting lead on the 6♦ river. He put 32,000 in the middle, which was immediately raised to 64,000 by Richardson.

A curious Calio called, but was shown bad news as Richardson tabled Q♦5♦ for a rivered flush.

Chris Hunichen raised to 7,000 in middle position, and Giuseppe Calio called in the big blind.

Hunichen fired out a bet of 8,000 when the flop came 9♦7♦3♥, and Calio decided to check-raise to 25,000; Hunichen called.

Calio did not slow down on the 10♠ turn, and he fired out a bet of 55,000; Hunichen called once more.

Calio, who covered Hunichen, went all in for 228,000 on the Q♥ river; Hunichen went deep into the tank, and after using three time banks, he eventually made the call.

Calio tabled a straight with J♦8♦ to take the pot, and Hunichen showed his cracked K♥K♣.

Arrocha Takes Two

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mario Navarro Arrocha opened to 6,000 from cutoff and Dylan Linde defended the big blind.

The pair saw a 9♠5♥8♥ flop, and Linde check-called a 6,000 continuation-bet by Arrocha for 6,000.

The A♣ turn was checked by both to see the 3♠ river, and again to get to showdown. Arrocha turned over J♣8♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to take the small pot against Linde's 10♣6♥, having missed his flopped straight draw.

In the next hand, Arrocha opened to 6,000 from the hijack, and Pavel Plesuv defended his big blind. A 10♥J♥9♠ flop was check-called by Plesuv after Arrocha asked for 6,000.

The A♥ was turned, and Arrocha saw Plesuv call his 20,000 bet. After the dealer placed the 3♥ completer, both checked to get to showdown.

Arrocha showed 8♠8♥ and took down another pot, having rivered the flush. Plesuv's straight with 8♦7♠ didn't hold up.

Yulian Bogdanov raised to 4,500 from early position and was looked up by Mikita Badziakouski in middle position. Action folded to Lander Lijo, who three-bet to 24,000 from the button.

Action was back on Bogdanov, who four-bet to 44,000. Badziakouski got out of the way quickly, and Lijo five-bet jammed all in. Bogdanov snap-called and had Lijo covered.

Lander Lijo: Q♠Q♦ All in
Yulian Bogdanov: K♣K♠

No help for Lijo on the 3♥7♠4♠2♥5♣ runout, and he was sent packing.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There were roughly 60,000 chips in the pot on 2♣A♠4♥A♣J♥.

Brock Wilson who was in the small blind bet 75,000, and James Mendoza who was in the big blind went deep into the tank.

After throwing in two time banks Mendoza decided to call.

Wilson quicky tabled 10♠3♠ for a ten-high bluff, and Mendoza tabled A♥8♣ for trips.

Zhou Takes it on the River

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ihar Soika raised to 4,500 from under the gun and picked up calls from Madhavan Ramanujam in middle position and Yang Zhou in the big blind.

The action checked all the way to a river on a J♥A♣7♥3♠A♦ board, tempting Zhou to place a bet of 11,000. Soika folded immediately, and, after a bit of thought, Ramanujam did the same.
