Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Following an open, Dale Roesel three-bet to 18,000 on the button. In the small blind, Jesse Lonis cold four-bet to 52,000. It folded back around to Roesel who announced all-in for his final 169,500, and Lonis put in the call after a moment of hesitation.

Dale Roesel: K♥K♣ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♠Q♠

Roesel was in good shape with his kings as the Q♥7♥5♣ flop granted some additional outs for Lonis. However, the board ran out 8♣5♦ as Roesel held on to secure the full double.

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot where Dan Smith had raised from under the gun and both Joe Cada in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out 9♦A♣4♠ and Mateos checked over to Smith who bet 5,000. Only Mateos called.

Mateos checked the turn 7♥ over to Smith who sized up to 22,000, prompting Mateos to raise to 75,000 and Smith called.

On the river 2♥, Mateos moved all in for 142,000 and Smith burned a time extension before tossing his hand into the muck.

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu from the hijack and Masashi Oya from the big blind were tangled in a substantial pot with the board reading Q♦9♠6♠9♥. Oya check-called a bet of 35,000 from Negreanu on the turn.

The A♥ river quickly checked through as Oya tabled A♠J♣ for a rivered top pair which was good against what Negreanu said was king-queen.

"So gross man," Negreanu lamented, "It's so sick how you play."

Daniel Rezaei had lost a huge pot to Vladimir Minko, and he was eliminated shortly after after his jack-eight fell to the queen-four of Alex Kulev blind-on-blind, as he is the first casualty.

After a few seconds of thought, Einhorn called to see Oya turn over K♣3♣ for king-high. Einhorn turned over 9♦7♦ for a pair of sevens which was good for the pot.
