Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jason Ephraim raised 320,000 under the gun and Mayank Madan three-bet all-in for 1,580,000. Erik Ortiz was in the small blind and called off his 940,000, and Ephraim tank-called off his 1,400,000.

Jason Ephraim: J♣J♠
Erik Ortiz: K♦K♥
Mayank Madan: A♦9♦

Ortiz was in great shape to triple up but the A♥Q♥10♦ flop gave Madan a pair of aces to take the lead. The A♠ hit the turn, improving him to trip aces and the 7♣ completed the board on the river, sending both Ephraim and Ortiz to the payout desk.

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

A player jammed under the gun for 795,000 and Shawn Gill called in the hijack before Ellianne Munoz shoved her 2,330,000 into the middle.

"I just told him I was going to double up!" She yelled enthusiastically while Gill was in the tank.

After about two minutes, Gill surrendered his cards, and both hands were turned face up.

Adam Velez was at the same table and building a healthy stack.

Under the gun: 6♠6♣
Ellianne Munoz: 9♦9♥

Munoz was in great shape with an overpair to her opponent, and the board ran out 8♦7♥3♣K♦4♦, for her nines to hold.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul raised 200,000 in early position and the hijack called before Dae Woong Song three-bet 575,000 in the small blind. Only Punjarojanakul made the call.

Both players checked the Q♥6♥3♠ flop and the 8♥ rolled off on the turn. Song led for 1,400,000 and Punjarojanakul tanked for about 30 seconds before releasing his hand.

Abrams Almost Laid it Down

Livello 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Abrams had a similar stack at risk and it proved to be a classic flip when cards were on their back.

Opponent: A♥K♣
Jeremy Abrams: 10♣10♥

The flop rolled out clean for Abrams with the J♦J♥8♦, the turn bricked the 3♥ and when the board completed the J♠, Abrams was visibly elated as he clapped his hands in victory. He went as far as saying he considered folding before the flop, but couldn't quite bring himself to.

Arreola Gets it All

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

There was a player that limped under the gun for 100,000. It then folded to a a player in late position who made it 350,000. The next few players folded and Darrick Arreola defended his big blind. The limper also called and they were off to a flop three ways.

The J♥A♠4♦ flop hit the felt and as the last card was being fanned out, Arreola had already snap-jammed all in having the two other players covered.

The preflop limper folded and the late position player went into the tank. Eventually he landed on a call and the cards hit the felt.

Late position: K♠K♦
Darrick Arreola: A♦8♠

The rest of the board ran out clean and Arreola would get a knockout and a pile of chips to add to his already growing stack.

Ten, Ten, Ten for Tenorio; Weisner Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Just before the dinner break, Yvette Tenorio got into an all in altercation against Melanie Weisner.

Tenorio had woken up with pocket tens and Weisner had pocket queens, but when a ten came on the board, Tenorio might has well have shouted her name from the rooftops.

Just after returning from dinner:

Tenorio was facing an all in from Antonio Graham on her direct right and after some time, she went all in, isolating him as it folded back around.

Antonio Graham: J♥10♥
Yvette Tenorio: A♣K♣

The flop slid out 8♠Q♠8♥, giving Graham a gutshot. The 5♠ was of no help, and the A♦ secured another knock out for Tenorio, skyrocketing her in the chip counts.

Jacques Ortega raised under the gun 250,000 and the big blind made the call.

When the 7♥ hit the turn, the big blind jammed his last 325,000 in the middle and Ortega snap-called.

Big blind: Q♠10♥
Jacques Ortega: A♣8♥

Ortega was behind to the pair of queens but the 3♣ river gave him a flush to send his opponent to the rail.
