Josephy Drives The Action

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Cliff Josephy raised to 1,200 under the gun, was called by a player in late position, the button and the big blind. The flop spread, A♥4♣4♦ and all players checked.

The turn brought the 2♣ and this time Josephy bet 5,300 and all three opponents folded in succession. Josephy flashed the table AxKxQxXx but the dealer wasted no time scooping it up and moving onto the next hand.

Alex Livingston was just felted on one of the outer tables but expressed he'd be hopping right back in. Ari Engel was seen waiting in line to enter the with a fresh stack.

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Five players saw a flop of A♣K♠6♠ and once checked to, Maurice Hawkins put out a bet of 800. Michael Ermie and Leonid Yanovski got out of the way and Eben Kurtzman made the call before the big blind folded.

The 5♥ hit the turn and Hawkins continued for 3,000. "It's okay to let me have this one," Hawkins said as Kurtzman made the call.

When the 2♠ hit the river, Hawkins slowed down with a check and Kurtzman fired out two pink chips for a bet of 10,000.

"That's what happens with top set in this game," said Hawkins before pitching his cards into the muck.

Kurtzman replied, "You had top set? I had the other one." Showing the A♠.

"Cool story bro," Hawkins replied sarcastically.

Triple Knock Out For Smith

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Cards were on their backs and half the table was on their feet when PokerNews arrived on the scene.

Four players were all-in and it was impossible to see the positions as cards and players' hands were splayed across the board.

Player 1: 10♥J♦9♥Q♣, this player was pleading for the dealer to peel the board one card at a time for maximum sweats.
Player 2: 6♥6♠3♣4♦
Player 3: J♠10♠8♣5♥
Dylan Smith: A♠K♦K♠8♠

The dealer compromised by fanning out the flop slowly, revealing 3♠7♠9♣ - every player but Smith picked up a straight draw on the flop, but the 2♠ on the turn let out a collective sigh of disappointment from everyone with the exception Smith.

"Not even a sweat!" said one of the players collecting their belongings as the insignificant river card fell. Smith was the biggest stack and made the dealer's job easy as he was the only one pushed the pot.

There are two re-entries available to those in the field and it's clear that plenty of hopefuls are willing to use them. At one of the outer tables, Dylan Weisman also bust but it's highly likely we'll see him back in the field with a fresh stack shortly.
