Mills Can't Call Berry

Will Berry raised in the small blind to 5,600 and Sean Mills made it 20,100 out of the big blind. Berry peeled and     flopped. Both players checked, bringing a  . Berry bet 16,400 and Mills quickly called. On the   river, Berry stacked all of his chips aside from his card cap and slid them in. Mills asked for a count and it was 57,500.

"You have to have it, right?" he asked after several minutes of tanking.

Berry seemed unsure if an action was announced but when he realized it was table talk, he remained silent. After about another minute, Mills mucked.

Hsu Eliminates O'Neal

Wilbern Hoffman opened for 6,000 from middle position and Li Ta Hsu three-bet to 25,500 from the cutoff. Action folded to John O'Neal who jammed for 55,200 from the small blind. Hoffman debated and then mucked his cards while Hsu called.

Li Ta Hsu:   
John O'Neal:   

O'Neal was ahead until Hsu paired his ace on the flop and that was all she wrote as O'Neal couldn't find another lady and the board ran out      .

Richards Cracks Tosques' Aces

Francois Tosques made it 5,500 on his button, David Richards three-bet to 20,000 out of the big blind and Tosques clicked it back, raising to 35,000. Richards shoved his 95,700 and Tosques snap-called, tabling   .

Tosques needed quite some help with the   , and he received the maximum support from the dealer as the flop rolled out    . Tosques stood up in disgust, and while Richards called for an ace on the turn to get his opponent some sweat, the   made his double official.

Miles Back on Short Stack

Tony Miles

Tony Miles came into the day with around ten big blinds and had chipped up through well-timed shoves over the first level. So much so that he opened a hand from early position and Brian Oshust defended his big blind off a similar stack.

The flop was     and Oshust checked. Miles continued for 5,500 and Oshust check-raised all in for around 30,000. Miles tank-folded and is back to around 12 big blinds as the first level comes to a close.

Mike Cordell raised to 5,200 from middle position, the player on the button called, the player in the small blind called and Kelly Minkin three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind. Only the player in the small blind called.

They checked to the turn of a      board where Minkin bet 29,000. Her opponent check-folded.

Lichtenberger Can't Beat a Four

Andrew Martin checked from the big blind and Andrew Lichtenberger bet 8,100 into about 16,000 from the cutoff with action on the      turn. Martin check-raised to 23,500 and Lichtenberger paused, then called.

The   river saw both players check and Martin hesitated before the showdown.

"Four is good?" he asked.

"Unfortunately..." Lichtenberger confirmed. "How'd you know?" Lichtenberger laughed.

Milliard Down on the Day

Julian Milliard

Julian Milliard was in a pot on a       board and Bogdan Munteanu had bet in the region of 70,000. Milliard was in position and had jammed, with Munteanu tank-folding as a result.

"King-ten?" asked Munteanu. "Hearts?"

"You do not have to answer that," said Steve Zolotow, reading Milliard his Miranda rights. "You have the right to remain silent..."

"I'm down on the day," said Milliard as we eyed his chip stack. However, when you come into Day 3 as the chip leader, "down on the day" constitutes a stack still in excess of 900,000.

Maasberg Busts Kudrjavcevs

Mathias Maasberg, sporting a Super Mario cap, raised in the cutoff and Eduards Kudrjavcevs three-bet the button to 16,500. Maasberg clicked it back to 45,000 and Kudrjavcevs spent some time in the think tank before moving all in, which resulted in a snap-call by Maasberg.

Eduards Kudrjavcevs:   
Mathias Maasberg:   

The board came       and Kudrjavcevs came close to cracking the aces with a straight and flush draw, but ultimately it was Maasberg that prevailed.
