Glazer Wins Without Showdown

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

David Olshan raised to 1,000 and Emily Sun called. On the button, Jordan Glazer three-bet to 4,000 and picked up two calls.

On the A107 flop, only Sun check-called for 3,500 and checked again the 8 on the turn. Glazer now bet 11,000 and that won the pot right there.

Another Double for Porter

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Kat Khaterzai raised to 3,500 preflop in late position and then faced the shove by Andrew Porter for only 10,300 on the button. All other players behind folded and Khaterzai asked for an exact count before she reluctantly called.

"I always lose against queen-jack," Porter said and Khaterzai replied "I don't have queen-jack" before the cards were exposed.

Andrew Porter: 99 All in
Kat Khaterzai: A2

Porter would have lost against his nemesis hand on the Q75810 board but his pocket pair held up to stay in contention.

In the meanwhile, Gregory Bauer sent another player to the rail when his 75 hit two pair versus 98 for one pair and he soared to six figures one table over.

Bianco Near the Top

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Following a min-raise to 1,000 and a call by the small blind, Benedetto Bianco in the big blind called and jokingly declared "no freebies" before they headed to the KKJ flop. When checked to, Bianco bet 1,000 and that won the pot right there. Bianco flashed the J for at least two pair before raking in the pot.

Since his reentry on another table, Bianco has spun it up to six figures and appears to be near the top of the leaderboard.

Moll Gets a Bluff Through

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Colin Moll
Colin Moll

Three ways to the J655Q river, Andrea Salamone checked over to Colin Moll who bet 12,000 for more than the pot. Matthew Zambanini folded after brief consideration and Salamone followed suit. Both were shown the A8 for a successful bluff by Moll.

Xu Doubles With a Setup

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Just before the blinds had gone up, Peter Xu was all-in and at risk for 25,700 on the QJ10 flop and when the cards were turned over, he had a near lock on the double.

Xu's AK were up against K9 and he only needed to avoid an ace for the chop, which he did thanks to the 5 turn and 4 river.

Chip and a Chair for Kluska No More

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jason Kluska
Jason Kluska

Two short stacks got their chips into the middle and Andrew Porter was the effective stack for only 6,900 against Jason Kluska.

Andrew Porter: KK All in
Jason Kluska: 55

The superior pair held up on the J9736 runout and left Kluska in the danger zone. He had around eleven blinds after the hand and lost those a few minutes later.

52 Entries for Day 1a So Far

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Towards the end of level three, the clock shows a total of 52 entries and half a dozen players have been eliminated so far. Another three hopefuls jumped in lately but haven't made any impact on their respective tables yet.

In the meanwhile, Kat Khaterzai continues to surge back from the full house versus full house setup not long ago and was involved in a three-bet pot to the Q769 turn. The action checked to her and she bet 8,000 into around 12,000 in order to win the next pot this time without showdown.

Sun Wins Big Clash; Khaterzai Bounces Back

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Emily Sun
Emily Sun

On a flop of QQ5, Kat Khaterzai check-called a bet of 2,000 by Emily Sun and then did so again for 6,000 on the 8 turn. The river brought the A and Khaterzai checked once more. Sun pushed all-in for 23,400 and was snap-called by the larger stack of Khaterzai to show her AA for aces full of queens, which happened to be a one-outer as Khaterzai had flopped trips queens with AQ.

Khaterzai won the next three pots in a row to make up for some of the losses. The third hand was the largest when Andrew Porter and Jason Kluska called her raise to 1,000. They checked the 1093 flop to the 9 turn on which Porter check-folded to a bet of 1,500 by Kluska and a call by Khaterzai.

Kluska bet the J river for 3,000 and called a raise to 8,000, Khaterzai showed 87 and won with a straight.
