Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ryan Hoenig raised to 50,000 and Christopher Vitch called from one seat over. On the 10♦9♠3♣ flop, Hoenig checked and subsequently check-raised from 60,000 to 200,000 for Vitch to call.

That led to the J♠ turn on which Hoenig bet 270,000 and Vitch folded.

Hoenig was then moved tables to balance while Vitch defended against a raise to 55,000 by Ryan Rapaski. They headed to the K♠8♥4♥ flop on which Vitch checked and Rapaski bet 100,000. The check-shove by Vitch followed and Rapaski called all-in for 310,000 total.

Ryan Rapaski: A♠K♠6♦2♥
Christopher Vitch: A♣9♣9♦5♥

The J♣ turn gave Vitch the nut flush draw but the 6♥ river changed nothing, as Rapaski scooped a full double.

Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A short-stacked Tony Cousineau got it in with the A♥5♠2♦2♣ and Paul Volpe followed suit with the A♠6♥4♣2♥.

The board board ran out 7♣4♦3♣3♥8♦ board and both players had the nut low, while Volpe also had the superior pair to earn three quarters.

A jolly John Holley then battled with Dylan Weisman over on table 138 and exclaimed he had to bet all the way when splashing in 200,000 on the J♠8♦5♥3♦2♥ river.

"I had two pair and the nut low, now I have three pair," Weisman responded and sigh-folded soon after.

Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joao Simao had raised to 70,000 and then folded to a raise.

Patrick Leonard opened to 45,000 and folded when Naoya Kihara reraised to 145,000.

Simao then saw Ben Yu raise it up to 40,000 and he three-bet to 150,000. Yu announced a pot-sized four-bet to 480,000 and Simao gasped a "fuck" which sounded like pot to Long Tran and Leonard with the latter wishing Simao good luck.

That confused Simao for a second and Leonard tried to explain it. One minute later, Simao folded to lose another portion of his stack.
