Lonis Gets Maximum Value

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Jesse Lonis from under the gun was involved in a hand with Nikita Kuznetcov in the big blind. With the board reading K♥A♦Q♥2♠9♦ Kuznetcov checked and Lonis moved all in. After some thought Kuznetcov made the call holding K♠J♣ but that came up short against Lonis' set with Q♠Q♣ to hand the latter player a full double.

Nikita Kuznetcov	180,000 -66,500	-66,500

The Mouth is Full of Compliments

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mohammad Arani raised from the hijack to 6,500, finding Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in the small blind, who three-bet to 22,500.

Arani spent some time toying with both his cards and calling chips before finally deciding to fold.

"Smart guy!" Matusow announced "There's a smart guy right there" he continued while pointing at Arani. Matusow raked in the pot as he showed A♠A♣ to the table.

Reard Building Early

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Alexandre Reard was heads-up from the hijack against Hwany Lee in the big blind on a 5♠10♣4♣ flop. Lee check-called a 10,000 bet from Reard and both players checked on the Q♥ turn.

The 5♥ filled the river and Lee checked again — prompting a 24,000 bet from Reard. Lee let his hand go and Reard dragged the pot.

Reard, who won his first bracelet back in 2021 in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, has built his stack substantially in the first two levels and currently sits with over half a million in chips.

Alexandre Reard	530,000 227,500	227,500

Wisbrod Wins Without a Showdown

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, the pot stood at 39,000 as the board read Q♥Q♠Q♣3♥. Yulian Bogdanov checked from the small blind. Barak Wisbrod in the big blind bet out for 26,000 and Bogdanov called.

The A♦ on the river saw Bogdanov check again. Wisbrod thought for some time before electing to move all in, putting Bogdanov to the test for his effective stack of approximately 100,000. Bogdanov eventually folded and Wisbrod won this pot without a showdown.

Berg Cracks Ausmus' Kings

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus was already all in preflop and at risk from the cutoff against Eli Berg, who was on the button.

Jeremy Ausmus: K♥K♠
Eli Berg: A♦Q♠

The 5♠Q♣A♥ flop vaulted Berg into the lead and the 4♦ turn and 10♥ river were of no help to Ausmus, who was sent out early in Day 2.

Eli Berg	365,000 108,500	108,500

Palma Doubles Up

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Palma moved all in for his last 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Rainer Kempe one seat over.

Nick Palma: 10♥9♥
Rainer Kempe: 8♠8♥

"Classic flip" joked Palma as the cards were turned on their back. The 4♣2♥9♠ flop vaulted Palma into the lead as Kempe was left looking to make a set to score the knockout. The Q♦ turn changed nothing with the 2♦ river completing the board to hand Palma a small double.

Rainer Kempe	135,000 -5,000	-5,000

The pot stood at 48,000 with two players looking at a board that read 3♥9♦Q♦2♠.

Pham Nguyen bet out from the big blind for 25,000. Justin Saliba on the button made the call.

The 3♦ river saw Nguyen commit an additional 36,000 to the middle; almost the entirety of his stack. Saliba made the call. Nguyen tabled Q♥Q♠ for a full house winning him the pot.
