Wantman Doubles Through Bleznick

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jared Bleznick opened from the cutoff and called a three-bet from Matthew Wantman in the small blind.

"No ace," Bleznick said before the dealer put out the Q♠6♣3♦ flop. Wantman moved all in for his remaining 9,000 and Bleznick quickly announced a call to put Wantman at risk.

Matthew Wantman: K♥K♦9♠9♥All in
Jared Bleznick: Q♦8♥7♦5♠

Wantman was ahead with his kings, but needed to fade plenty of outs against Bleznick's pair of queens and straight draw.

The J♣10♥ runout came clean for Wantman and he was awarded the double up.

Ewing Applies Pressure

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christopher Ewing limped in on the button and called when Ioannis Angelou Konstas raised to 10,500 in the big blind.

Konstas continued for 6,500 on the 5♦5♣6♦ flop, which Ewing called.

The 3♥ turn joined the board, and Konstas fired out again, putting 13,000 into the pot. This time, Ewing responded with a raise to 40,000. After mulling it over, Konstas opted to let his hand go, returning his cards to the dealer.

Aronson on Right Side of a Cooler to Bust Kemper

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Drake Kemper raised to 10,000 in the hijack and Gus Hansen called in the cutoff. Cary Aronson then three-bet to 44,500 on the button, and only Kemper called.

The flop came A♣K♣8♦ and Aronson potted to 106,500. Kemper then moved all in, and Aronson snap-called.

Drake Kemper: K♦K♥8♥8♣ All in
Cary Aronson: A♦A♠5♥2♥

Kemper showed a set of kings, but Aronson had him crushed with his set of aces. The board ran out 5♦2♠, and Aronson secured the big pot.

It took several minutes to count down the stacks, and Aronson barely had Kemper's remaining 196,000 covered to send him to the rail.

Bad Start for Hellmuth

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In one hand on a completed board of K♥8♥2♦Q♥A♥, Hellmuth was heads-up against Dash Dudley and bet 9,000 from the small blind. Dudley raised to 27,000 from the big blind and Hellmuth called.

Dudley revealed J♥7♥J♦9♠ for a jack-high flush and Hellmuth showed he held a lower flush before sending his cards into the muck.

Shortly afterward, Hellmuth was heads-up against Sam Soverel and faced with a 31,500 bet from Soverel on a completed board of 4♠8♦9♦2♣5♣.

Hellmuth called and Soverel showed K♦J♠7♣6♥ for a straight. Hellmuth declared he held two pair and mucked.
