Jansen Lets it go

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Diego Romero opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and called a three-bet of 86,000 from Bradley Jansen in the big blind.

Jansen check-called a 150,000 bet from Romero on the 739 flop, but check-folded after Romero put a smaller bet of 55,000 into the middle on the 6 turn.

"You turned me dead, huh?" Jansen said with a smile as Romero collected the pot.

Reichard Unloads the Clip

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Josh Reichard
Josh Reichard

Josh Reichard raised to 40,000 on the button, and Ryan Riess called in the big blind.

The 99Q flop saw Riess check, Reichard bet 35,000, and Riess call.

Riess checked for a second time on the 3 turn, and once again, Reichard bet, this time for 105,000. Undeterred, Riess called.

The 5 river followed the same pattern: Riess checked, and Reichard bet. This time, he unloaded the clip, barrelling with a pot-sized bet worth 378,000. Riess wasted little time in calling.

"You got it", Reichard said to Riess.

Upon hearing that, Riess tabled AKJ9 for flopped trips, and Reichard mucked his cards.

Five Is Good For Wilhelm

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Aksel Hansen raised to 42,000 in the cutoff and Sascha Wilhelm called in the small blind, as did Maxi Lehmanski in the big blind.

The flop came 725 and Wilhelm bet his last 11,000. Lehmanski then reshoved, and Hansen got out of the way.

Sascha Wilhelm: QJ105 All in
Maxi Lehmanski: 10654

Lehmanski had flush and straight draws, but he couldn't connect with the A turn or 2 river as Wilhelm's pair of fives stayed in the lead to earn him a virtual triple up.

Barney's River Bet Makes Reichard Fold

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Josh Reichard opened to 40,000 in late position and Joshua Barney in the big blind made the call to see the flop.

The dealer fanned out A3Q. Barney check-called Reichard's continuation bet of 38,000 leading them to the turn.

Both players checked the 9 turn. Barney fired 50,000 on the river J which was enough to make Reichard fold.

Igor Ioffe: AA93 All in
Joshua Barney: AK96

The 842 flop gave Barney a flush draw, while he also picked up more outs with a pair on the K turn. The river, though, was the 7, and Ioffe held on to earn the double up.

Carlos Saucedo: AQ86 All in
Hiroyuki Noda: KK83

The 71010J4 board offered Saucedo no help, confirming his elimination.
