Vitantonio Straightens Ng Out

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Peter Ng opened to 16,000 from middle position and called a three-bet bet of 45,000 from Peter Ng, who was on the button.

Both players checked on the Q53 flop and then Vitantonio check-called a 15,000 bet from Ng on the J turn.

Vitantonio moved all in on the 8 river and Ng quickly called all in for a bit under 200,000 total.

Vitantonio showed 109 for the nuts and Ng showed he held QQ for top set before wishing his tablemates good luck and exiting the tournament area.

Hoechstetter Lightens the Field

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Andrew Hoechstetter limped from under the gun and Rishi Mehra raised to 35,000 on the button. Action folded back to Hoechstetter, who moved all in for approximately 200,000. Mehra called all in for a bit less and a showdown was held.

Rishi Mehra: AKAll in
Andrew Hoechstetter: 1010

It was another race, but this one favored Hoechstetter as the 841073 runout improved him to a set to eliminate Mehra early on in Day 2.

Horita Cracks Aces to Send Quezada Packing

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Seiki Horita
Seiki Horita

Seiki Horita made it 16,000 to play from early position and action folded to Bogar Valdez Quezada in middle position who three-bet all in for 67,000. Action came back around to Horita who thought for a while and made the call.

Bogar Valdez Quezada: AA All in
Seiki Horita: 66

Not the door card Quezada wanted to see on the 62Q flop and he needed to hit an ace to stay alive. No luck on the 2 turn nor the 7 river and Quezada was sent to the rail in a brutal fashion.

Julius Shows a Six

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ryan Julius checked the 536 flop from the big blind, and Antoine Labat fired a bet of 13,000 on the button. Julius called to the K turn, where both players checked.

Another pair of checks followed the 7 river, and Julius turned over 62 for a pair of sixes. That was good enough to claim the pot, as Labat mucked his hand.

Both players checked on the AAA flop and then Puri led out for 18,000 on the 10 turn.

Sergio shook his head and laid his hand down — conceding the pot to Puri.
