Stud

Grzegorz Wyraz: / (folded on sixth)
Viktor Blom: /

On fifth street, Grzegorz Wyraz bet and Viktor Blom called. On sixth, Wyraz bet again and Blom decided to raise. Wyraz gave Blom an intense staredown and folded for several minutes before giving it up.

At an adjacent table, a very short-stacked Allen Kessler was all in for his final crumbs against Bruno Stefanelli. Kessler had open against Stefanelli's . Stefanelli drew and Kessler caught , improving neither player which kept "Chainsaw"'s jacks ahead from start to finish.

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Ivo Donev: / /
Allen Kessler: / /

Ivo Donev was first to act with the and went all in for his final 1,900. Kessler raised with the ace to get the rundown heads-up.

"Ducks with an ace," Eli Elezra chuckled after Kessler's board was completed first. Donev had plenty of outs to survive and sweated the river before revealing a four to make two pair. Kessler, though, also had a seventy-six low to go with his deuces and the pair chopped the pot.
