One for Foxen, One for Lee

[user339872]

Nível 17 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Calvin Lee opened to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Taylor von Kriegenbergh and Kristen Foxen in the blinds. The flop came 8♦6♥5♠ and Foxen led out with a bet of 150,000. Lee folded and Von Kriegenbergh quickly followed suit.

On the next hand, Isaac Haxton raised to 120,000 in early position and Lee defended from the big blind. The flop fell 10♦9♦3♠ and Lee check-called a bet of 190,000 from Haxton.

The turn was the K♣ and Lee checked again. Haxton tossed in a bet of 235,000 and Lee used two of his time banks before just calling. The river was the 5♣ and both players knuckled the table. Lee turned over K♠10♠ for two pair and Haxton sent his cards to the muck.

Martin Zamani Eliminated in 23rd Place ($56,931)

[user339872]

Nível 16 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Michael Jozoff raised it up from the hijack and Martin Zamani defended from the big blind. Mid-hand, Zamani asked to borrow Jozoff's sunglasses and he obliged.

The flop came Q♣8♥6♥ and Zamani checked to Jozoff who continued with a bet. Zamani check-raised all in for around 800,000 and Jozoff snapped him off.

Martin Zamani: Q♥7♦
Michael Jozoff: K♦K♥

Zamani flopped top pair but it was no good against the pocket kings of Jozoff. The J♣ on the turn and the A♠ on the river changed nothing, sending Zamani to the rail.
