Kozieja Doubles Through Raber

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja wasted little time putting his chips to work after the dinner break. Jason Raber opened from early position before Grzegorz Kozieja put in his final 685,000 on the button. Raber called to put Kozieja at risk.

Grzegorz Kozieja: K♦Q♣All in
Jason Raber: Q♦J♥

Kozieja got his chips in good, but the flop gave both players a piece to work with when it came 9♣K♣5♦ to give Kozieja a pair of kings and Raber four outs to a straight.

The 8♣ turn benefited Kozieja as he held the only club, and the 5♠ river shut down any hopes of Raber playing spoiler as Kozieja doubled up.

Daria Krashennikova ran into a rut in back-to-back hands that saw her sent out from contention.

The first hand occurred when Krashennikova was on the button and clashed with Eric Tsai preflop. The chips got in the middle with Tsai at risk for 2,630,000.

Eric Tsai: K♠K♦All in
Daria Krashennikova: A♠A♦

Tsai was in deep trouble, but the flop changed his fortune in a hurry when it fanned out K♣5♦3♦ to give him a set of kings and put Krashennikova's aces in a horrible spot with two cards to go.

Krashennikova was unable to find her ace on the 7♦ turn or the 3♥ river as Tsai upgraded to a full house to leave Krashennikova on fumes.

The very next hand, Punnat Punsri opened to 160,000 from middle position. Krashennikova went all in for her final 215,000 from the cutoff before Tsai entered the pot with a three-bet to 700,000. Punsri folded as Krashennikova and Tsai were at it again, but this time it was Krashennikova at risk.

Daria Krashennikova: K♥10♥All in
Eric Tsai: 8♣8♦

Krashennikova had a fighting chance with her overcards, but they never appeared on the 3♣7♣9♦5♦7♥ runout to eliminate Krashennikova from the tournament.

The board read 10♥J♦K♦9♣ with approximately 500,000 in the pot when this hand was picked up.

Maurice Hawkins bet 400,000 from early position and was called by Mark Newhouse on the button.

The Q♣ river peeled before Hawkins put out a smaller bet of 300,000 on the river. Newhouse gave it some thought before he put in the call.

Hawkins showed 10♣10♠ for a set of tens and it was good as Newhouse mucked his hand to award the pot to Hawkins.

Michael Rocco opened to 80,000 from early position and Matteo Ferrara three-bet to 240,000 from the big blind. Rocco called, and the pair saw the 9♣7♣9♥ flop.

Ferrara check-called a 400,000 bet by Rocco to see the J♣ turn. Both checked to the J♦ river and Ferrara bet 80,000. Rocco moved all in for Ferrara's remaining 850,000. Ferrara paused before making the call for his tournament life.

Matteo Ferrara: 9♠8♠All in
Michael Rocco: A♠J♥

Ferrara slammed his cards on the table and stood after Rocco showed his hand. Both were looking at a boat, but Rocco had the jacks to take the pot and eliminate Ferrara just before the dinner break.

Michael Rocco got the action started with an open to 160,000 from early position, which led to a call from Jose Aguilera from the next seat over. Rogen Chhabra joined the party with a call from the small blind to create a three-handed pot.

The flop came J♣A♠3♠ before Chhabra checked his option. Rocco continued for 320,000 and was only called by Aguilera as Chhabra bowed out with a fold.

Rocco was not messing around and chose to jam on the 2♣ turn to put Aguilera into the blender. Aguilera had 2,460,000 behind as he labored over his decision.

Aguilera opted to relase his hand as Rocco's strong Day 3 continued.
