Both Calderon and Pecheux checked the 7 turn, but on the 6 river, Calderon quickly bet a very small 100,000.

Peretz Puts on the Pressure

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded around to Braxton Dunaway, who limped from the small blind, and Yaniv Peretz checked from the big blind. As the dealer placed the JKQ flop, Peretz was staring down his neighbor until Dunaway completed his action.

Both checked to see the 7 turn, and again Peretz was looking directly at Dunaway as he bet out 80,000. Peretz called, and the A completed the board.

Peretz bet out 175,000, and Dunaway called. The pair flipped their cards, and both had a ten for the straight, and the pair chopped the pot. Dunaway with J10 and Peretz with 104.

In the next hand, Albert Calderon opened to 160,000 from early position and Peretz three-bet to 480,000 from the small blind. Calderon asked, "How much is that?" to get confirmation from the dealer as the pair were sitting at opposite ends of the feature table.

Calderon called, and the players saw a 33Q flop. Peretz bet out 250,000, which saw Calderon swiftly throw his hand into the muck.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 6J9, Braxton Dunaway in early position bet 150,000, and Kimon Fountoukidis in the big blind check-called.

Dunaway fired a second barrel to 280,000 on the A turn. Fountoukidis check-called again.

Both players then quickly checked the 8 river, so Fountoukidis showed KJ for a pair, which was good enough to take the pot.
