Khachatryan Is Short Chang-ed

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Levon Khachatryan opened to 5,000 on the button and Lawrence Chang called from the big blind.

The A4A flop prompted Chang to check-raise to 11,500 after Khachatryan bet 3,000. Khachatryan re-raised to 32,000 and Chang called.

A 5 was quickly checked to see the 3 river and Chang bet out 10,000. Khachatryan paused, before making the call and Chang tabled his AK33 for the boat.

Cates Bests Lonis

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 7,000 in middle position, which Jose Scarano called in the cutoff, and Dan Cates called in the big blind.

Cates checked in flow, and Lonis continued for 12,000. Scarano folded, but Cates called.

After the action checked through on the 10 turn, Cates led out for 40,000 on the 9 river. The bet was enough to see Lonis surrender the pot.

Brannan Back In, Gets a Quick Double Off Zlotnikov

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Frank Brannan, back on another bullet, reraised to 27,000 in the big blind and was called by Arie Ori Miller in middle position and Lior Abudi in the hijack. "I don't know what to do," Anatoly Zlotnikov said as action went on him in the small blind. He eventually called, and all four players went to the flop.

"Small cards please, dealer," Zlotnikov pleaded as the flop came AQ2. Brannan then moved all in for 94,000, and only Zlotnikov called.

Frank Brannan: AQQ3 All in
Anatoly Zlotnikov: AK64

"F**k off. I have back doors," Zlotnikov said once Brannan revealed his set. The turn was the 4, while the 7 completed the board on the river to earn Brannan the double-up.

The dealer fanned the 438 board and Khachatryan bet 18,000. Hubbard peeled back his cards before mucking his hand.

Five players saw the turn on a board of 5610J. Jesse Lonis checked from the small blind, Ze Yu Li checked from the big blind, and Jose Scarano bet 8,000 from under the gun.

Chongxian Yang folded from the next seat, while Dan Cates called in the hijack. Lonis and Li both got out of the way, making the action heads up to the river.

The 8 completed the board and, after giving it some thought, Scarano checked. Cates didn't take long to bet 18,000.

Scarano then chose a more aggressive option, check-raising to 65,000. Cates quickly folded, surrendering the pot to Scarano.

Miao was ahead with two pair, but the 5 turn improved Taylor to the nut flush. The river was the 3 and Taylor doubled up.

Long Doubles Up

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three-way on a flop of 453, Philip Long in middle position bet 12,000 but Dorel Eldabach in the cutoff raised to 42,000. Ap Garza in the big blind called and Long called as well.

All three of them checked the 10 turn but on the 10 river, Garza bet 150,000 with only 1,000 behind. Long went deep into the tank and eventually called off his last 95,000, while Eldabach folded.

Philip Long: AKK4 All in
Ap Garza: 9754

Garza with two pair was caught by Long with kings and he doubled up.

Delayed Continuation Does the Trick

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jonathan Poche limped in from the hijack, and Gergo Nagy raised to 9,000 on the button. The action folded back to Poche, who called.

Both Poche and Nagy checked on the 382 flop, but when Poche checked again on the 6 turn, Nagy bet 15,000. That was enough to secure the pot, as Poche returned his cards to the dealer.

Marsico Coolers Liberta to the Rail

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Five players went to a flop of 610J where Liberta bet 37,000 from the button. Only Philip Marsico called under the gun.

The turn was the Q and Liberta moved all in for 40,000. Marsico quickly called and turned over AQJ4, while Liberta had J766 for a set.

The 9 river gave both players a flush, but Marsico's nut flush earned him the pot to send Libera to the rail.

The 754 flop saw Linde check-call a 10,000 bet by Jamasi. A J turn prompted another check from Linde and Jamasi bet pot for 38,000, which saw Linde make a quick fold.
