Nacho Barbero Gets Lucky on the Turn, Unlucky on the River
When we arrived, Jose “Nacho” Barbero in the big blind was seen checking on the flop of [Kc8s6s]. The cutoff bet 210,000 and Barbero shoved for 1,845,000. The cutoff called.
Nacho Barbero: [Js4s]
Cutoff: [KsQc]
“That’s a good king to have,” table mate Jacob Daniels muttered under his breath standing next to us.
The [Ts] on the turn put Barbero in front but the [3s] on the river gave his opponent the better hand.
“That’s what I said,” Daniels whispered to us, “that’s a good king to have.”

Sinclair Doubles Through Dubini
Richard Dubini is part of the partypoker PRO team and he is still in the tournament. He played for two hours on the feature table but their table is switched out right now with a different one. Jack Sinclair is also at that table but Dubini has a lot more chips. Sinclair was able to take some from Dubini when he doubled up.
Dubini raised from the hijack to 275,000 and Sinclair sat in the big blind with 1,805,000 which is about 15 big blinds. He pushed all in and a very quick call followed by Dubini.
Sinclair had [8h8d] and he needed to win a coin flip against the [ahks] of Dubini. He managed to just that after the board ran out [9s3d2cts4d].

Dzivielevski Doubles With Quad Aces
In one of the first hands of the new level, the button opened for a min-raise. From the small blind, Jack Sinclair shoved and big blind Yuri Dzivielevski called all in for less, wagering his 1 million stack. The button folded.
Jack Sinclair: [Kx9x]
Yuri Dzivielevski: [AsAh]
The flop settled things: [Ac5dAd]. The [Jc] on the turn and [8h] on the river were just put there for good measures. Dzivielevski doubled to 2.5 million while Sinclair was left with just under ten big blinds.

Daniels Doubles Vueza
From early position, Marty Mathis opened for 200,000 and small blind Adolfo Vaeza and big blind Jacob Daniels called.
The flop of [ThTc5c] was checked through so the [2h] on the turn was seen for free. Vaeza checked and Daniels bet 310,000. Mathis folded right away but Vueza had bigger plans and check-raised to 910,000. Daniels called in position.
The [4d] completed the board and Vueza wasted little time shoving for 1,260,000. Daniels asked for a count and called.
Vueza showed [TsJh] and Daniels mucked his [7h7c].

Anthony Zinno Eliminated
The hijack opened to 225,000 and Anthony Zinno on the button shoved for his remaining 500,000 or so. The blinds folded and the initial raiser quickly called.
Zinno had a decent enough hand with just five big blinds showing [AdQc]. Unfortunately for the bracelet and WPT champion, his opponent had [KhKd]. To make things worse, the flop came [Kc9s6h] and Zinno was drawing dead by the [Qh] on the turn. The [8h] on the river was just placed there to make things official.

Daniels Takes Lots From Mathis
Marty Mathis opened under the gun for 200,000 and Jacob Daniels on the button three-bet to 610,000. The blinds got out of the way but Mathis called.
Mathis check-called a bet of 380,000 on [8c5dKc] before they both checked the [Jc] on the turn. The river came the [3c] and Mathis checked once again. Daniels used a timebank card before he placed a tower worth 2,000,000 in the middle. Mathis instantly called by tossing in a single chip.
Daniels showed [AcAh] for the nuts and Mathis mucked, later saying he had [KcQx].

Kempe Goes for Value Against Bleiker
The board read [8s7s6dkh] and Rainer Kempe checked to Felix Bleiker when there was about 1,000,000 in the middle already. Bleiker checked behind and the [9h] completed the board.
Kempe went for a very small bet of 125,000 and was called by Bleiker but the [as9s] of Kempe was good enough to win the pot.
