Duek First to Fall

Livello 2 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players, including Krasimir Yankov and Michael Duek, built a pot of around 120,000 heading to a flop of A♣2♠K♣.

Duek, in the small blind, led out for 40,000 and Yankov tanked for a moment before potting to 241,000. Another opponent on the button folded.

"Is that all in," Duek asked as Yankov only had a few chips behind. Duek stuck in his last chips and Yankov called.

Michael Duek: A♥J♣10♣9♥
Krasimir Yankov: A♣K♦K♥4♣

Yankov was ahead with his set of kings, while Duek had a draw to a Royal Flush. The board ran out 3♥7♦ and Duek missed everything. A count of the chips showed Yankov barely had him covered and Duek, last year's Main Event third-place finisher, became the first to hit the rail here today.

Four-handed on a flop of 4♠5♠9♠, Dylan Weisman bet 1,600 from middle position and was called by Noah Schwartz and George Wolff in the blinds.

All three players checked the K♥ turn before Schwartz led out for 4,500 on the Q♣ river.

Wolff quickly folded, and Weisman didn't take long before he joined him in the muck. Schwartz then showed his K♠Q♠J♠8♠ as he took the pot.

Livello 2 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Four players built a pot of around 40,000 heading to the 5♥6♥J♦ flop when Ka Kwan Lau bet 26,000 in middle position.

Only an opponent in the cutoff called to see the A♥ turn, where both players checked.

The river came the Q♦ and Lau fired out 35,000. The cutoff quickly folded and the recent bracelet winner took down another pot.
