Belcher Puts Nagata to the Test

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ryota Nagata opened to 1,000 in middle position, with Connor Belcher next to act and sliding out a three-bet to 2,500. Action folded back to Nagata, who made the call.

Nagata checked the 6JQ flop, and Belcher continued for 3,000. Nagata called and checked again after seeing the K turn.

Another bet from Belcher followed, this time for 4,500. After taking some time, Nagata called to the 4 river.

Nagata led out for 9,500, and Belcher replied by announcing all in. Nataga went into the tank, asking the dealer to spread the pot before taking several minutes to reach a decision. Nagata opted to lay it down, and Belcher collected the pot.

Song placed a bet of 5,000, and relatively quickly Benso folded A4 face up.

Grimm Six-Bet Shoves

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mark Grimm made it 1,000 under the gun before Stephen Sperrazzo three-bet to 3,500 from the button. After the blind folded, Grimm four-bet to 11,000 and the action was back on Sperrazzo.

Sperrazzo decided he wanted to play for more as he five-bet to 26,000. Grimm did some inventory of his stack and then six-bet jammed for Sperrazzo's remaining 34,000. Sperrazzo agonized over the decision for a while before folding, and the pot was awarded to Grimm.

Kaikhah Claims the Pot with Top Pair in Four-Way Battle

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a four-way pot with around 7,000 already in the middle and the flop showing 322, action checked to Jungsoo Bin in the hijack, who fired out a bet of 1,500. All three opponents called to keep the pot brewing.

The A fell on the turn and this time all four players checked.

On the 10 river, Jamie Kerstetter checked from the small blind, and Vinodan Lingham in middle position led out for 6,000. Bin quickly folded, Rahul Bhave made the call from the cutoff, and Kerstetter let her hand go.

Lingham revealed 65 for a missed flush draw, while Bhave tabled AJ, also missing the flush, but pairing his ace to take down the sizable pot.

Francis Obadun raised to 1,000 in middle position and Jamie Gold three-bet to 3,500 on the button. Obadun called and they saw a flop of 835.

Gold then moved all in for 10,600 and Obadun quickly called. "I guess I'm out," Gold said, standing up from his seat even before the cards were revealed.

Jamie Gold: A5 All in
Francis Obadun: J7

Gold, to his surprise, found himself ahead against Obadun's flush draw, but the A turn gave Obadun his flush. Gold needed to fill up on the river, but he missed the 4 and the 2006 Main Event champion was sent to the rail.

Ryan Hall from under the gun, David Montoya from early position, and Haven Taylor from the button were tangled in a pot. There was 9,000 in the middle on the turn with the board reading K75A.

Hall checked to Montoya who bet 5,500. Taylor folded after a small tank before Hall announced all-in for his final 26,600, sending Montoya into the tank. He confirmed the count and thought it over for a while before he elected to let his hand go, and Hall was able to chip up without showdown.
