Zarco's Ascent Continues
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Javier Zarco opened to 6,000 from middle position and faced an all in for 38,000 from a player in late position. Zarco did not appear entirely happy about it but did make the call with the bigger stack.
Late Position Player: 
Javier Zarco: 
Though not at risk, Zarco was dominated and would need significant help to come from behind to eliminate his opponent. No help came on the 
flop but the 
turn brought the miracle card he sought. Needing to fade jacks and aces, he did just that after the 
landed on the river to send his opponent home in cruel fashion. Zarco, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the big stacks in the room.

Platt's Struggles Continue
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jeff Platt enjoyed a red-hot start to the day, emerging as one of the early chipleaders. As the day wore on, however, he struggled to maintain that initial momentum and as a result has fallen back into the pack.
Jun Obara opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Platt responded by three-betting to 12,500 from middle position. Action folded back around to Obara, who flatted to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Obara checked on a flop of 
and Platt continued for 7,000. After counting out raising chips, depositing them next to his main stack and taking one final look at the board, Obara pushed 16,500 into the middle. The raise was enough to force Platt to fold, sending him slipping further down the chip counts.

California's Edvin Setaghian Wins Nearly $60k in Wynn Summer Classic Event
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
On June 6, the $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament during the Wynn Summer Classic attracted 242 entrants, creating a prize pool of $237,160, easily surpassing the $200,000 guarantee.
Players from all around the world, not just here in Nevada, showed up to compete. In the end, it was California resident Edvin Setaghian as the only player still with chips. The champion received $59,930 for his impressive and dominant performance at the luxurious Wynn Resort in Las Vegas.
Prior to that championship run, Setaghian had just $69,000 in career live tournament scores, according to Hendon Mob, so he nearly doubled his prior cashes.
Setaghian defeated Jose Catela from Portugal heads up to win the title. The runner-up didn't leave empty-handed, however, and took home $36,997 for his deep run. The final table of nine featured players from three separate countries (United States, Portugal and Hungary). Valdemar Kwaysser (5th place for $12,403) and Marton Czoszor (7th place for $7,684) are both Hungarians.

Goldberg Makes a Huge Call
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
On a board reading 
Fred Goldberg on the button was involved in a pot with a player in the big blind. The big blind player had moved all in, covering Goldberg who went deep into the tank. After a reasonable amount of time had passed, the clock was called on a Goldberg tortured by the decision at hand.
"You're gonna give me a countdown?" asked Goldberg after he was told he had thirty seconds to act. He was informed that a countdown would begin with ten seconds remaining. Just as the floor had begun the countdown, Goldberg, with a "f*** it I call" slammed his chip stack down into the middle.
The big blind player flipped over 
for a stone cold bluff while Goldberg revealed he had made a huge and correct call with to take down an enormous pot.
