Sullivan Takes On Two Bracelet Winners

Livello 17 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Big O

Tim Sullivan put in a reraise from the small blind and Dominick Sarle and Yuval Bronshtein called.

All three players checked the 9♠5♥9♦ flop before Sullivan bet 12,000 on the 2♣ turn. Both opponents called.

The K♦ fell on the river and Sullivan bet again and Sarle called off his remaining short stack, while Bronshtein got out of the way.

Sullivan flashed the 9♣ for flopped trips and Sarle sent his cards back to the dealer before making his exit.

Lategui Sends Gonzales to Speedy Exit

Livello 17 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Martin Lategui raised to 9,000 from middle position and got called by Randy Gonzales in the big blind to see a 5♣J♥6♥ flop.

Gonzales checked to Lategui who fired out a bet of 20,000. Gonzales didn't waste much time before check-raising all in and Lategui was fast to put in the calling chips to set up a two card runout with Gonzales at risk.

Randy Gonzales: A♦7♣4♦2♦2♠
Martin Lategui: A♠A♥K♣8♥6♠

The board ran out with a Q♦ turn and 5♦ river, neither good for Gonzales as Lategui scoops to send Gonzales to the exit.

Sullivan Spikes the River to Take Out Another

Livello 17 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Tim Sullivan and Jason Riesenberg went to the 6♣4♠4♦ flop when Riesenberg, in the small blind, was all in for around 50,000 and Sullivan had him at risk in the big blind.

Jason Riesenberg: A♥K♥K♠2♠
Tim Sullivan: A♣Q♦J♠10♣

Sullivan was far behind Riesenberg's kings, and Riesenberg picked up a flush draw on the A♠ turn. The river came the J♣ and Sullivan spiked two pair to win the pot.

"Oh my God, that was disgusting," a tablemate said as Riesenberg stood by his chair stunned before snapping a picture of the board. Sullivan ran away from the table before returning to pile up the massive stack of chips coming his way.

"I had a five percent chance of taking half. One percent to win. That's why they call me the poker joker," Sullivan said as he sat back down.

"Don't do that to me," another tablemate joked with him.

Kost Takes the "Pot of the Tournament"

Livello 17 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Big O

"I just won the pot of the tournament," Nick Kost said after taking out Sam Farha and doubling up off Mark Erickson.

According to Kost, he potted to 26,000 with AxAx8x7x4x with two clubs and Farha and Erickson both called.

The flop came Jx9x6x with two clubs and Kost bet 80,000. Farha called all in for 60,000, while Erickson also called. Kost moved all in for 65,000 on the 4♦ turn and Erickson called with KxQx10x9x6x for a wrap.

The river came a Jx and Kost took the entire massive pot to eclipse 400,000.

Kost was still raking up those chips and he got involved in another pre-flop all in, this time against Bastien Joly.

Joly was all in for 40,000 with A♠A♥Q♥5♣3♠ while Kost had A♦J♣J♥10♦3♦. Joly stayed in the lead on the 2♣7♥Q♣10♣ board, but Kost hit the J♠ on the river to make a set.

"Come on," Joly said in frustration before making his exit.

Lane and Morozovs Split It Up

Livello 17 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Big O

Mihails Morozovs raised to 6,000 from early position and Rob Lane called from the big blind to see a 8♥9♥8♦ flop.

Action checked through on the flop to a 5♠ turn card that saw Lane toss in a bet of 10,000. Morozovs made the call and the pair headed to a 2♦ river card.

Lane bet out again, this time for 25,000 and Morozovs called and showed the A♠Q♦7♠3♦2♥ as Lane tabled the K♦Q♠8♠4♦2♣ and with that, the two would chop the pot.

Aronson Scoops Hacker to Take Chip Lead

Livello 18 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Big O

Three-handed on a board of 7♠10♣7♦8♣, Brian Hacker bet 30,000 in the big blind and Cary Aronson called next to act. Another opponent in middle position folded as Hacker and Aronson went heads-up to the river.

The dealer turned over the 4♣ and Hacker now moved all in. Aronson snap-called with 8♠7♣4♠3♥2♦ for a full house and a low, while Hacker showed 9♣7♥6♣5♥2♥ for trip sevens before heading for the exit as Aronson moved past 500,000.
