John Ciccarelli

Oliver Bosch opened to 55,000 from middle position, and John Ciccarelli three-bet to 260,000 from the big blind, leaving himself with just one red T-5,000 chip behind. Bosch jammed, and Ciccarelli called after locking up the pay jump.

John Ciccarelli: Q10 All in
Oliver Bosch: AJ

Ciccarelli needed some help with queen-high, but he didn't find it on the 54J910 runout. Bosch paired his jack to win the pot and eliminate Ciccarelli.

Acevedo Fires Twice

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Aaron Messmer raised to 50,000 in early position, which both Michael Acevedo and Robert James called from the cutoff and big blind.

The action checked to Acevedo, who bet 60,000. James folded, but Messmer called.

The 4 turn followed a similar pattern, as Messmer checked, but this time he folded when Acevedo continued with a bet of 150,000.

Nicholas Guagenti
Nicholas Guagenti

Nick Guagenti raised his button to 60,000, seeing Tom Hall three-bet to 450,000 from the small blind. After some thought, Guagenti called to the 77J flop, where he quickly called off Hall's remaining 20,000.

Tom Hall: AJ All in
Nick Guagenti: KQ

The 10 turn gave Guagenti extra outs, but the 5 river bricked to double Hall up.

Bosch Takes From Guerrero; Krahn Busts

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jimmy Guerrero raised from the button, and Oliver Bosch called from the big blind.

Bosch check-called a continuation-bet of 35,000 from Guerrero on the 93A flop to see the 4 turn, which checked through.

The 6 completed the board, and both players checked. Bosch tabled Q9 for a pair of nines, which was enough to earn him the pot.

At a nearby table, Kilo Krahn was seen heading to the rail after getting his chips in from the big blind on the 10109 flop with 94 for a pair of nines. Joshua Stewart made the call with 108 for trip tens in the small blind.

The 5 turn and Q river changed nothing, ending Krahn's tournament.

Richard Green: KK

The ace-high A79 flop was a great start for Fischer, and his double-up was confirmed after the J turn and 2 river completed the board.

Renan Meneguetti jammed for 160,000 from the cutoff, and Benjamin Williams called from the small blind, looking to score the knockout.

Renan Meneguetti: A6 All in
Benjamin Williams: KQ

Meneguetti started ahead with ace-high, but that changed on the 75Q flop as Williams paired his queen to take the lead.

The 2 turn and 7 river brought no help for Meneguetti, and all of his chips were sent across the table to Williams.
