Taffe Takes Out Foxen

Nível 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Leo Taffe opened to 14,000 from the hijack and Alex Foxen moved all in for 138,000 from the small blind. Taffe made the call with a covering stack to put Foxen at risk.

Alex Foxen: A♠K♠
Leo Taffe: J♦J♣

It was a classic preflop flip. The flop came Q♥7♠5♠ giving Foxen plenty of outs. The turn was the 7♥ and the river was the J♠, giving Foxen an ace-high flush that was second best versus Taffe's full house. Foxen was sent to the rail just shy of making the money while Taffe dragged in a chunky pot.

Lococo Up to His Old Tricks

[user339872]

Nível 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo and Ankush Mandavia were heads-up in a three-bet pot with around 60,000 in the middle already. The flop came 10♥8♥4♣ and Mandavia checked from the big blind. Lococo jammed all in from the big blind and Mandavia instantly called off his stack of around 85,000.

Ankush Mandavia: A♠A♦
Alejandro Lococo: K♥7♣

Mandavia caught Lococo bluffing but he didn't know what was in store for him. The 9♥ on the turn made things interesting as Lococo picked up a combo draw. The river was the J♣ and Lococo rivered a straight, sending Mandavia to the rail.

Ivey Stares Down Hudon

Nível 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river. Players were heads up, there was about 90,000 in the pot and the board read 5♦10♦7♥2♦Q♠. Eliot Hudon had bet 45,000 from the big blind, leaving only 3,000 behind, and Phil Ivey had a decision of whether or not to call.

Ivey gave Hudon his signature stare down for roughly a minute before flicking in the call.

Hudon tabled Q♥10♣ for flopped top pair, rivered two pair which was good enough to take down the pot, worth a full double up for Hudon.

Ivey Refuses to Pull the Trigger

[user339872]

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David "Bakes Baker and Phil Ivey were heads-up going to the flop of J♦7♥5♥. Baker checked to Ivey who bet 16,000 and Baker check-raised to 36,000. Ivey called and the 8♥ landed on the turn.

Baker led out with a bet of 62,000 and Ivey stuck around for the A♥ on the river. Baker checked this time and Ivey took a quick peek at his cards. He thought for a minute and then checked it back. Baker flipped over 7♣7♦ for a set of sevens and Ivey sheepishly mucked his cards.

Lin Makes a Big Fold to Selbst

Nível 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Pedro Marques called from the hijack. Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 18,500 from the cutoff and Ren Lin four-bet to 50,000. Marques got out of the way and Selbst moved all in for approximately 275,000, sending Lin into the tank.

"You gamble with ace king?" Lin, who covered Selbst slightly, thought out loud. After about a minute of consideration, he folded Q♥Q♦ face up and Selbst dragged in a sizable pot uncontested.

Vanessa Selbst	331,000 78,000	78,000

Ren Lin	290,000 -79,000	-79,000

Farnes Pips Zolotow

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Steve Zolotow raised to 5,500 from the hijack and received a call from Raul Manzanares on the button. Jeffrey Farnes, who made the main event final table last year, three-bet to 20,500 from the small blind and Zolotow moved all in for roughly 50,000. Monzanares got out of the way and Farnes quickly made the call to put Zolotow at risk.

Steve Zolotow: A♥J♥
Jeffrey Farnes: A♠Q♠

Zolotow was in bad shape against Farnes who had a bigger ace. He failed to improve when the board ran out 6♦8♥2♠10♦K♦ and was sent to the rail while Farnes dragged in a nice early pot.

[user339872]

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Angelina Rich raised it up from under the gun and John Hennigan shipped all in with a fresh stack of 50,000 chips. The action folded back to Rich who made the call with a slightly bigger stack.

John Hennigan: 2♠2♦
Angelina Rich: A♣Q♣

The flop came 9♥8♦6♣ and Hennigan was still in front with his pair of deuces. However, the A♥ on the turn gave Rich a pair of aces and the 9♣ on the river sealed Hennigan's fate.
