Romero Shoves on Hong

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Before the blinds went up, Jinho Hong opened to 55,000 from early position, James Romero three-bet to 140,000 in the hijack, and Hong called.

The dealer fanned the {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop and Hong check-called for 100,000.

The {k-Spades} fell on the turn, Hong checked, and Romero moved all in for approximately 700,000. Hong thought about it briefly but decided to send his cards into the muck to concede the pot to Romero.

Adedapo Ajayi: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Ajayi needed to improve and did so right away on the {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. The {2-Clubs} turn left him just needing to fade a river jack, and the {4-Hearts} completed the board to confirm his double.

Karmatckii Finds Heat

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Bin Weng opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andrew Moreno on the button as well as Arsenii Karmatckii out of the big blind.

Action checked through the {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop to the {k-Spades} turn where Karmatckii checked for a second time. Weng led out for 80,000 which got Moreno to release his hand while Karmatckii made the call.

Karmatckii checked again on the {j-Spades} river and then snap called when Weng bet 240,000. Weng confidently tabled {k-}{j-} but he was beaten to the pot by Karmatckii's better two pair with {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

A couple of hands later action folded to Karmatckii on the button and he raised. The small blind player responded with a three-bet to 215,000 and the big blind got out of the way to send the action back to Karmatckii. He, after some thought, announced all in, causing the small blind to go into the tank. After several minutes, the small blind, with 500,000 behind, open folded {a-}{q-} and Karmatckii showed the table he had been dealt {a-}{k-}.

Ducks Double Moreno

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Andrew	Moreno
Andrew Moreno

Andrew Moreno open shoved 500,000 from the cutoff and Arsenii Karmatckii re-jammed with the bigger stack on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Moreno was officially at risk.

Andrew Moreno: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Arsenii Karmatckii: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

"We'll see if you're good at these," joked Moreno prior to the flop. With the board running out {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, giving Moreno the double, it would appear that Karmatickii is not good "at these".

Moreno Applies Pressure

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Andrew Moreno in the small blind was involved in a hand with Michael Rossitto in the big blind. With the board reading {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} Rossitto had a bet of 200,000 in the middle and Moreno had raised all in. Rossitto was deep in the tank, with the other players standing waiting for the table to be broken. After a few minutes, Rossitto reluctantly laid his hand down. "Clock!" joked Bin Weng as Rossitto racked up his remaining stack to move to another table.
