Pair of Nines for Kassela

Level 4 : 300/600, 100 ante

David Benyamine raised to 1,500 and Frank Kassela called before Chris Klodnicki three-bet the hijack to 6,000. Byron Kaverman made the call from the button as Benyamine and Kassela called also.

The {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop was checked round as the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and Kaverman bet 10,000 from the button. Only Kassela made the call as the river landed the {6-Spades} and both players checked.

Kassela tabled his {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Kaverman mucked to see Kassela pushed the pot to move to over 101,000 in chips.

This is a Reentry!

Level 4 : 300/600, 100 ante

Some of the players weren't exactly sure, but on further confirmation by the tournament directors, this $25,300 Big One for One Drop Satellite is indeed a reentry satellite meaning players can head to the cage and re-enter as many times as they like leading up to the start of level ten.

Get your gamble on kids!

Level: 4

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 100

One for Sippl

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Shannon Shorr raised to 1,000 from the hijack and Michael Mizrachi, Zsolt Szabo, Roger Sippl and Jason Koon all made the call to see a {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop.

Shorr continued for 1,800 and only Sippl called as both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. The river landed the {4-Clubs} and Sippl led for 4,200 and Shorr quickly mucked.

Barer Doubles

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

On a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} with around 15,000 in the middle, John Hennigan bet out 7,600 and Ami Barer made the call as the {Q-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Hennigan quickly fired out 19,000 and Barer again made the call as the {8-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Hennigan bet out 35,000 and Barer called all in for his 30,900.

"Ace-Queen!" announce Hennigan, but Barer quickly flipped over his {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a set and scooped the big double to 134,000 as Hennigan was left with just 17,000 in chips.
