Collins Moves All-In

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

After limping preflop, short-stacked Todd Collins moved all in on the flop of 3♠2♥8♠ and was called by Roman Pereyaslavsky to put him at risk.

Todd Collins: K♥8♦
Roman Pereyaslavsky: 7♦8♥

Collins was well in the lead going into the battle with his superior kicker, and the runout of 8♣K♣ further improved him to a full house to win him the pot for a double-up.

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

Giyeon Han opened 5,500 in early position and Alex Foxen three-bet to 16,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Han and he made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♠8♥6♦, and Han check-called a continuation bet of 13,000 from Foxen.

The 4♥ turn was checked through to see the 8♠ river. Han led out for 35,000 before Foxen announced all-in.

Han went into the blender, taking about three minutes before asking how much Foxen had. Foxen counted it for him and let him know he had 329,500, which covered Han's 165,000. Han tanked another 30 seconds before dropping a stack of chips across the line to make the call. Foxen rolled over 9♣8♣ for trip eights, and Han showed A♣Q♦ as he exited the tournament.

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

Alexandra Botez and Anthony Kennedy built a pot of around 90,000 heading to the turn on a board of A♦9♣J♠Q♠ when Kennedy bet 55,000 from early position.

Botez called and the K♥ fell on the river, where Kennedy then bet 100,000. Botez, with around 75,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes as tablemates snapped photos of the board.

She eventually called all in and Kennedy turned over 9♠7♠ for a pair of nines. "Oh, my God," Botez said as she got up from her seat and showed A♥K♠ to win the pot.

Kennedy told the table his birthday is today following the hand. "That's why I played it," he said with a smile despite taking that beat.

Botez later knocked out Anatoly Filatov from this table after Filatov moved all in for around 30,000 with two eights, but Botez woke up with aces to send him to the rail.

Fast Under Starting Stack; Le Busted

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

Dietrich Fast raised to 4,000 from early position and saw a three-bet to 12,500 from his neighbor John Power. The action folded back to Fast, who put in the extra chips for a call.

The flop then came 8♦5♦9♥ and both players checked. On the A♥ turn, Fast checked to Power again, who opted to bet for 16,500 this time. Fast made the call and the 6♥ river subsequentially completed the board.

Both players checked again and Fast tabled A♠J♠ for a pair of aces. Power had that beat, however, as he turned over 9♠9♣ for flopped top set. He raked in the pot and knocked down Fast to under 20 big blinds.

On another table, Ken Le's seat card laid in front of his empty seat, signaling his elimination from the tournament.

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

Preflop action began with a raise to 5,500 by Alec Torelli in the hijack. Nicolas Plantin called from the small blind, while Chris Dombrowski defended his big blind.

The flop came 3♥9♥10♦, and all three players checked. The same happened on the Q♥ turn.

The Q♣ arrived on the river, and Plantin checked a third time. Dombrowski bet 9,000, which led to folds from Torelli and Plantin. Dombrowski took down the pot and added some much-needed chips to his stack.

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

After celebrating his friend's wedding, rapper Steven "Hoodie Allen" Markowitz took the first flight from New York to Las Vegas this morning to make it in time for the start of Day 3. Unfortunately for Markowitz, his tournament journey was short-lived as recounted by Arthur Souza De Campos, the player who busted him.

Markowitz raised under the gun to 5,000, Campos to his direct left three-bet to 15,000 and Markowitz four-bet to 26,000. Campos put him to the test for his tournament life, five-bet shoving all in for Markowitz's last 120,000. Markowitz called.

Steven Markowitz: A♥A♦
Arthur Souza De Campos: A♣K♥

The board ran out in sickening fashion as it came J♦3♥Q♣2♠10♠. Campos rivered a straight to crack Markowitz's aces, sending him to the rail.
