Salvatore Flops the World, Turns the Nuts

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Vince Salvatore raised to 4,000 from middle position, and was called by a player in the cutoff, and the big blind.

After the A510 action was checked to the cutoff, who bet 6,000. Both the big blind and Salvatore made the call.

All three players checked to the river after the 2 on the turn, which brought the J. The big blind checked, and Salvatore went all in for 24,500, and the cutoff quickly made the call for less. The big blind folded and Salvatore tabled AK for the nut flush, and the cutoff showed AQ before exiting the tournament area.

Morozumi Hits the Jack He Didn't Want

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with Naoya Morozumi all in, and Andy Garcia calling to put him at risk.

Naoya Morozumi: AK All in
Andy Garcia: JJ

It was a flip for Morozumi's tournament life, and he would need to improve against the pocket jacks of Garcia. The 106Q flop gave Morozumi additonal outs for Broadway, but the 6 turn took those outs away. Which was unfortunate because the river was the J to give Morozumi the Broadway straight, but improved Garcia to a full house, jacks full of sixes to take the pot and eliminate Morozumi.

Lee Knockouts Zur With Big Slick

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kyung Lee raised to 2,100 from early position, and was called by both the player in middle position and the cutoff. Then Tal Zur in the small blind three-bet all in for 11,300. After the big blind folded, Lee four-bet to 100,000, which got the callers to both fold and leave the players heads up, with Zur at risk.

Tal Zur: AJ All in
Kyung Lee: AK

Zur was dominated by Lee, and once the board ran out 58Q82 the ace king was still best, and Zur was eliminated.
