Livello 15 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Kenneth Maurer kicked off the action with a raise on the button which was met with another raise from Matt Szymaszek in the small blind. Michael Mizrachi called in the big blind, as did Maurer, exclaiming his surprise at being raised.

The flop rolled Q♠2♣8♥ and Szymaszek bet, getting a call from both of his opponents.

The turn peeled the 7♦ and again Szymaszek bet, Mizrachi folded, and Maurer made the call. Heads up they both saw the A♥. Szymaszek slowed down with a check and Maurer checked behind.

Szymaszek rolled over the 9♥9♠ and Maurer launched his hand into the much, as Szymaszek's nines were good.

Livello 15 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

A completed board of 6x5x3x4x10x was spread across the felt and Kuenwai Lo led out with a bet from the big blind. Joe McKeehen called on his left and Michael Thorpe gave it some thought before folding. Lo tabled 8♦6♦ for a pair of sixes but McKeehen held K♥10♦ for a pair of tens.

"Ahh, big trouble," Thorpe mumbled to himself, stating that he folded a winner.

On the next hand, Lo raised it up from the small blind and McKeehen called in the big blind. The flop fell 10♠4♥3♠ and Lo check-called a bet from McKeehen.

The turn brought the 5♦ and Lo checked again. McKeehen tossed in another bet and Lo check-raised this time which McKeehen called. The river was the 6♠ and Lo led out with a bet. McKeehen shook his head as he pitched his K♦10♥ into the muck.

"Same board, exact same board."

An agitated Michael Senter was all-in and at risk with a short stack. Michael Kuo, who has been moving up in the counts was rather amused by his opponents antics.

Michael Senter: K♠K♦
Michael Kuo: A♠K♥

"This is it, I'm done. Good luck, guys," said Senter before the cards were run. Senter had already collected his belongings and strapped on his backpack.

The board ran out all low cards and Senter's kings held up to which he said, "I won a flip, that was a flip for me," still dissatisfied with his short stack.
