Jaka Gets Paid Off

Nível 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player on the button opened to 3,500 and was called by the small blind as well as Faraz Jaka out of the big blind.

Action checked through the flop to the turn at which point Jaka bet 7,000 after the small blind checked to him. The button player called while the small blind folded to send the two players heads-up to the river.

The river double paired the board but that did not seem to concern Jaka, who fired off 15,000. His opponent thought for a while before calling and was shown by Jaka for the full house, a hand he could not beat.

BrandonBloom

Nível 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Plesuv led with a bet on the turn, causing his opponent to quickly fold.

Following an apparent table tradition of revealing a card of the winning hand, a player flipped over one of Plesuv's cards to reveal the .

"A king?" asked Theologis. "We got him, guys. We got him."

Lerner Sends Elias to the Rail

Nível 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Steven Lerner opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Darren Elias shoved for 15,200 out of the small blind. The big blind folded to send the action back to Lerner, who, after asking for a count, made the call with the bigger stack to put Elias at risk.

Darren Elias:
Steven Lerner:

It was a race for Elias' tournament life, one in which he fell distinctly behind following the flop. The turn and river brought no help to the four-time WPT champion, sending him out of the tournament just before the dinner break.

Kade Cracks Aces

Nível 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in the small blind, who did not wish to be named, limped and Vanessa Kade checked her option in the big blind to send the two heads-up to the flop.

The flop came and the small blind checked. Kade bet 1,000 and was called.

The small blind player checked for a second time on the turn. Kade, unwilling to slow down, fired off another bet, this time 3,500. After eyeing up her stack, the small blind called.

On the river the small blind checked once again and faced a shove for 10,500 from Kade. The small blind player put his hands on his head as he appeared somewhat distressed before making the call. Kade turned over for flopped trips while the small blind revealed he had been slowplaying aces. "It's my fault, no one else to blame," said the small blind player as he saw a decent portion of his stack head Kade's way.
