Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player raised in early position to 6,500 finding two callers; Valeriano Toledano in middle position and Chris Hunichen in the big blind.

The flop came down 5♥10♥K♦. The action was checked to the preflop aggressor who bet out for 7,000. Only Toledano called and two players went to the turn.

The 3♥ fell and Toledano was faced with another bet of 12,000, which he called.

The river came the J♣ and the action checked through. The original raiser tabled Q♦J♦, unfortunately, a pair of jacks was no good against the K♣Q♣ of Toledano who took down this pot.

The turn came the Q♣ which checked through to the 2♦ on the river. Volpe now took the lead for 7,500. Momentarily squirming over his decision, Heath eventually folded conceding the pot to Volpe.

Tang Gets a Quick Double

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Danny Tang on the button who only took a moment before slowly and quietly moving all of his chips into the middle. He was sneaky enough that the dealer didn't see for about 20 seconds before tossing him the all in button. The small blind folded but the big blind called pretty quickly.

The cards hit their back.

Danny Tang: 6♣6♦
Big Blind: A♣Q♠

"I'm ahead." Tang said "I just have to stay ahead to keep my 10k...for now"

The board ran out 2♠9♠K♣10♥9♦ and Tang scored a much needed double.

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action folded to Brian Rast in the cutoff who opened to 4,000. The button folded but both of the blinds made the call. The players were off to a flop three ways.

The J♠Q♦5♦ flop hit the felt and action quickly checked through.

The turn brought a 3♠. The small blind checked but the big blind opted to lead for 6,000. Action was now on Rast who went deep into the tank but eventually opted to put enough chips out to cover both of the players in the blinds. The small blind snap folded but the big blind needed a moment. He thought through his options but eventually landed on laying down his hand and staying alive.

Rast dragged the pot and kept a healthy stack as they moved towards the end of late registration.

The flop came 10♣10♥8♥. Halverson played in flow and Barriocanal continued for 3,500. Halverson called.
