Both players checked and did the same on the river 5.

Wilson Flops Into Double-Up

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 11,000 under the gun. Brock Wilson defended the big blind.

The flop hit A3J. Petrangelo bet 25,000. Wilson called.

After the 9 came on the turn, Petrangelo upped his bet to 60,000. Again, Wilson followed the lead.

When the 2 landed on the river, Petrangelo grabbed a stack of green chips that more than covered the 185,000 in chips Wilson had left. Wilson immediately made the call.

Brock Wilson: A3All in
Nick Petrangelo: AK

Petrangelo's ace-king was no match for the two pair Wilson hit on the flop.

Brinkenhoff Leaves Punsri on Fumes

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Punnat Punsri
Punnat Punsri

Four players saw the flop of 4A4 with 40,000 in the pot. Action was checked to Klemens Roiter in the cutoff who bet out for 7,000. He found calls from Michael Brinkenhoff in the small blind and Punnat Punsri in the hijack. Matthew Zambanini folded from the big blind.

The K peeled off on the turn and Brinkenhoff checked to Punsri, who went into the tank before he bet out for 22,000. Roiter made the call as did Brinkenhoff.

The river brought the K and Brinkenhoff checked once more to Punsri who bet out for 118,000 which left him just 1,000 behind. Roiter folded quickly and Brinkenhoff double checked the count before he made the call and tabled J7 for a rivered flush which had Punsri's AQ crushed and Brinkenhoff was pushed the pot.

Peixoto Pays Off Katz

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With 75,000 in the pot on a board of 4483, Carlos Peixoto checked from the small blind and Cary Katz bet 25,000 from the big blind. Peixoto called.

The 9 completed the board and Peixoto checked for the last time. Katz bet 25,000 again, and Peixoto quickly called.

Katz showed the goods with AJ for a flush and Peixoto mucked his cards.

Nikitin Takes a Multi-Way Pot Down

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on a four-way pot of 70,000 chips beside a QJA flop. After Anatoly Nikitin in middle position and Vinny Lingham in late position checked, Adam Hendrix in cutoff fired 16,000.

Brian Breck, on the button, mucked his hand and so did Lingham. But Nikitin called to see another card.

The J turn dropped and the remaining players checked leading them to the river 4.

Nikitin burned a time card, before putting in 30,000. Hendrix took his time to consider his options before conceding the pot and the hand to Nikitin.

Negreanu Busts to Foxen

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu raised to 10,000 under the gun and Alex Foxen called from the big blind.

Foxen started with a check on the J67 flop, and Negreanu bet 10,000. Foxen stuck around with a call.

Another check came from Foxen on the 4 turn, causing Negreanu to fire a second barrel of 25,000. Foxen then woke up with a shove, sliding out enough chips to put Negreanu all in. Negreanu quickly called for his remaining 61,000.

Daniel Negreanu: A6 All in
Alex Foxen: 85

Foxen had turned the nuts with a straight, although Negreanu still had plenty of outs with a flush draw to crack it.

The dealer burned and delivered the K river, which changed nothing as Negreanu's chips were sent across the table to Foxen.

Heads up to the AK9 flop, there was 30,000 up for grabs in the middle.

Daniel Rezaei checked from the small blind to Artur Martirosian who was under the gun and bet out for 18,000. Rezaei made the call.

It was rinse and repeat on the 9 turn with an inflated price of 36,000 charged by Martirosian.

Both players checked on the 5 river with Rezaei tabling K6 for second pair, which was good for the pot, when Martirosian mucked his cards.
