Romero Doubles to Six Figures

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
James Romero
James Romero

Three-way to the 722 flop, it checked to James Romero in the cutoff. He added 3,000 to the pot of 16,000 with a bet, only to be raised by Oleksandr Kandyba under the gun. Kandyba made it 13,000, folding out Mary Dubois in early position.

Romero thought for a while before he called, and the 5 was placed on the turn. Kandyba quickly moved all in, and Romero snap-called for his stack of 36,000.

James Romero: KK All in
Oleksandr Kandyba: QQ

The river fell the innocent 3. Romero's kings held doubling him up and leaving Kandyba with just over half a starting stack.

Stefan Petrov checked from the small blind on the turn of a board showing 3A10K, and Daniel Rezaei checked behind from the cutoff.

The K paired the board on the river, and Petrov led out for 1,000. Rezaei smiled, tossed in the calling chip, and then mucked after Petrov tabled KQ for trip kings.

Costiniano Gets Away Lightly

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With roughly 8,000 in the pot already, and a 72Q flop face up on the felt, John Costiniano check-called a bet of 4,000 in the small blind, placed by Duncan Horst in the cutoff.

Both players checked the 7 turn, but when Costiniano checked again on the 9 river, Horst put another 9,000 into the middle. Costiniano called again, and when Horst tabled AA, Costiniano flipped over AQ, revealing that he could perhaps have lost more than he did.

Covich Runs into Mahar's Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Raymond Mahar opened to 1,600 from middle position and Frank Covich, who was sitting to Mahar's direct left made the call.

The 1036 flop saw Mahar bet 3,100 and Covich jammed for 10,200 putting himself at risk for his tournament life. Mahar made the call, and the pair went to showdown.

Frank Covich: 108All in
Raymond Mahar: AA

Covich had flopped top pair, but it wasn't holding up against Mahar's pocket aces.

The Q turn and 5 river locked up the pot for Mahar, and Covich was left to hit the rail just before the dinner break on Day 1c.

Dunn With the Nuts

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There were roughly 55,000 chips in the pot on a board of 35J108.

Christopher Economou who was in the big blind fired out a bet of 11,000, but then Tara Dunn who was in middle position went all in for 26,400.

Economou then thought about his decision for a moment and flicked in a chip to call. Dunn showed the nuts with A10, and scooped this pot worth over 100,000 chips.

Set Over Set Doubles Goulder, Brings Quoss Back Down

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Alex Goulder
Alex Goulder

Heads up to the J3K flop, Fabian Quoss checked from the cutoff to Alex Goulder on the button, who bet 2,000 into the pot of 8,000. Quoss then raised to 7,000, and Goulder called.

Quoss fired 10,000 into the pot on the 2 turn. Goulder called again, seeing his opponent move all in on the 8 river.

Goulder's stack of 25,900 was covered, and he spent some time in the tank before he called off.

Quoss tabled JJ for a set of jacks, but Goulder had the higher set with KK to rake in the big double-up.

"Sorry if my tank made you," Goulder began, but he could not finish his sentence as Quoss reassured him he would have tanked in this spot as well.

Double Down as Ellis Picks Off Malki

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a limped blind battle, Yaron Malki check-called a bet from Richard Ellis on the 952 flop.

On the K turn, Ellis sized up to 1,400 before Malki check-raised to 5,000, and Ellis called after some deliberation.

The Q landed on the river as Malki led for 8,800, and Ellis quickly called. Malki shrugged as he conceded the pot to Ellis who tabled 92, and his flopped two pair was good the whole way as he left Malki on a short stack.

Hancock Squeezes Value

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Daniel Iachan limped in from the small blind and called when Samara Hancock raised to 1,000 in the big blind.

The 375 flop saw the action check through, tempting Iachan to lead out for 600 on the J turn, which Hancock called.

After seeing the Q land on the river, Iachan slowed down with a check. This time, Hancock bet, putting 2,000 into the middle. Iachan called, but ended up mucking his cards when Hancock revealed she had rivered two pair with QJ.

Bilzerian Takes Big Hit

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dan Bilzerian
Dan Bilzerian

Vitaly Kovyazin opened to 1,000 from under the gun and got four callers preflop, including Dan Bilzerian and Donald Procto early position, Scott Reginatto on the button, and Fabrizio Rosa in the small blind to create a five-handed pot.

The 92A flop was checked around to Reginatto, who bet 1,700. It folded to Bilzerian, who countered with a check-raise to 6,000. The only customer was Reginatto, while every other player folded.

Bilzerian kept up the betting on the J turn; this time, it was to the tune of 11,000. Reginatto made the call.

The A river did not deter Bilzerian, as he put out a third barrel of 15,000.

Reginatto snap called and showed 22. Bilzerian did not show his hand as Reginatto took in the healthy pot.
