Aksoy Picks Off a Bluff From Xu

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hang Xu and Tinay Aksoy had already built a pot of more than 500,000 heading to the river on a board of 8♥7♣10♦J♦2♠ when Xu led out for 325,000.

Aksoy spent a few minutes agonizing over the decision before he eventually put in the chips to call. Xu turned over K♣Q♣ for a bluff, while Aksoy showed A♥A♠ to take the big pot.

Tinay Aksoy	2,700,000 895,000	895,000

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Shota Nakanishi opened to 55,000 from middle position and then called after Viliyan Petleshkov three-bet to 145,000 on the button.

Nakanishi check-called a continuation of 100,000 from Petleshkov on the A♠K♥4♥ flop to send the action to the turn.

Both players checked through the J♣ turn to the 8♦ river at which point Nakanishi moved all in for 550,000, representing a pot sized bet. That sent Petleshkov into the tank as he spent around a minute contemplating his decision. Eventually he found a call with A♣10♥ and was rewarded with the pot and elimination after Nakanishi could only turn over a bluff.

Levy Puts Aguilera in the Tank

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Two players saw a flop of Q♣9♥7♠, creating a pot of about 370,000. David Levy checked, and Jose Aguilera checked back.

The J♦ fell on the turn, and Levy led for 130,000. Aguilera only took a couple of seconds before making the call.

When the A♥ hit the river, Levy cut out a bet of 325,000 and pushed it across the line. Aguilera paused for a moment before asking how much Levy had behind. Levy moved his green chips so Aguilera could see his entire stack of about 550,000. Aguilera went into the tank for almost three minutes before tossing his cards into the muck.

Rami Boukai opened to 60,000 from middle positon before Alec Torelli made it 200,000 from the cutoff. Matthew Davis jammed for 595,000 from the big blind, pushing Boukai out of the pot. Torelli thought for a moment and opted to call.

Matthew Davis: A♦A♠
Alec Torelli: A♥Q♦

Torelli was way behind but got excited after pairing up on the Q♥J♣4♥ flop. The 8♣ turn and 3♠ river were safe cards for Davis, who collected the double up.

Chiu Wins Large Pot Against Fineis

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 5♦3♣2♥ flop, Rhian Fineis bet 100,000 in the hijack and Charlie Chiu called on the button. That brought them to the A♣ turn on which Fineis check-called for 225,000.

The same action repeated on the 5♠ river as Fineis check-called for 575,000. Chiu tabled the 4♠4♦ for the wheel and Fineis mucked. His stack tumbled to a mere 100,000 and he bowed out soon after.

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Rene Lazaro opened to from middle position and mid-stakes tournament prodigy Jeremy Becker defended out of the big blind.

Becker, seated aside fellow tournament crusher Chance Kornuth, checked on the 4♣J♥J♦ flop and called as Lazaro continued for 25,000. Becker then led out for 105,000 on the Q♠ turn and Lazaro called.

The 6♣ river completed the board and Becker sized up to 285,000. Lazaro counted out his stack before eventually calling. Becker sheepishly turned over a bluff with K♠9♣ for king-high and Lazaro tabled an underpair with 3♦3♥ to win the pot.

Vierling Misses Everything Against Kolev

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Boris Kolev raised to 50,000 from under the gun before Jessica Vierling, in middle position, three-bet to 125,000. The table folded back around to Kolev, who called to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer turned over K♣3♥5♥ and Kolev checked over to Vierling, who bet 30,000. Kolev called to the 9♠ turn, where he check-called another bet of 200,000.

Kolev also checked the 2♣ river and this time Vierling checked back. Kolev turned over 8♦8♣.

"Aw, I had so many outs. Like a gazillion. Every ten, every jack, every heart," Vierling said as she mucked.

No Peppin' In His Step

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Svetlana Gromenkova opened to 55,000 from under the gun and Daniel Weinman three-bet to 140,000 on her left. Stephen Peppin four-bet to 325,000 on the button and the action folded back to Weinman who five-bet shoved all in.

Peppin was put to the test with just over 700,000 chips behind. After going into the tank for around two minutes, Peppin finally decided to fold his K♥K♦ face up, sending the pot to Weinman.

"Wooow!" Sung Lee at the table was in shock.

"I think it's a good fold," another player acknowledged.
