Brannan Can't Survive Three Ways

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When the action folded to Frank Brannan on the button, he moved all in for 105,000. Both Nick Schulman and Dominykas Karmazinas called from the small and the big blind.

The action between Schulman and Karmazinas checked all the way down on the 48962 board, taking the players to a showdown.

Brannan tabled K10, which could not keep him alive, as Schulman flipped over A4, while Karmazinas' hand ended up directly in the muck.

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on a flop of 2A2 with 365,000 in the middle. Big blind Jordan Glazer shoved his final 130,000 into the middle, and cutoff player Kane Kalas was in the tank. Eventually, he made the call.

Jordan Glazer: AK95 All in
Kane Kalas: A10103

The 47 runout kept Glazer's ace-king in the lead, as he leapfrogged Kalas in the counts.

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu limped in from the hijack, and Naoya Kihara did the same from the small blind. Yang Wang then potted to 120,000 from the big blind, and only Negreanu called.

Wang then checked the 653 flop over to Negreanu, who bet out for 80,000. Wang called, which brought in the K turn. Action went check-check, and the same happened on the 2 river.

Wang tabled AAJ8 for aces, and Negreanu picked up his hand. He looked at his cards, then the board, then his cards again, pretending to work out if he could beat his opponent's overpair. He couldn't, and returned his cards to the dealer, letting Wang know that he was not a favourite on the flop.

Artem Maksimov raised to 60,000 on the button, and Tom Vogelsang called in the big blind.

On the K9A flop, Vogelsang checked, Maksimov bet 75,000, and Vogelsang called.

That put an end to the betting, as both the 6 turn and the 8 river checked through.

Vogelsang tabled 84, but his pair was pipped as Maksimov flipped over 109.

Parssinen Takes From Mizrachi

Level 18 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Eelis Parssinen raised to 60,000 from under the gun and both Michael Mizrachi in the small blind and Juha Helppi in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out Q82 and action checked around to Parssinen who bet 65,000 to see only Mizrachi continue.

Mizrachi checked the turn 3 to see Parssinen bet 240,000 and Mizrachi called a second time.

Both players checked the river 2 and Mizrachi tabled 1010 for tens up. It was no good against Parssinen's AQ for queens up and he was good for the pot.
