Chirs Sensoli was in the big blind, three-betting to 3,550 over a raise 1,050 from a player in an early position. The original raiser called, leaving himself with just 3,700.
Sensoli checked on the flop to let his opponent shove. Sensoli put him at risk, calling.

The turn stayed with Sensoli, but the river saved his opponent's spot in the tournament. While Sensoli lost this hand, he's still guarding about 50,000.
If anyone would rather see Roberto Romanello on another table, it's Loren Klein. As we reported earlier, Romanello recently took a bite from Klein's stack, and the two went to their second war a few moments ago.
This time Klein was in position, sitting on the button. Hijack Romanello checked on the turn with around 10,000 in the pot. Klein bet 6,600, and Romanello called.
The river was certainly an interesting card that could cause a lot of troubles for the previous best hands. Romanello decided for an offensive approach, betting the third diamond big. He quietly led out 20,000, showing no signs of stress.
Klein immediately sighed, and then looked at Romanello's bet and Romanello himself. After a minute or so, Klein released his cards, conceding another pot to Romanello.
Romanello turned up his hole cards, showing for the nut-blocker. "I had to bluff it," said Romanello.
Klein didn't specify his exact cards, but admitted he had a huge decision as he had a decent hand. "I had zero diamonds in my hand," he explained.
Two weeks ago, WSOP bracelet winner Allan Le came close to doubling his title collection in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Event. Le finished in third place, earning $78,372.
Now he's sitting in the ten-times larger buy-in PLO event, and his seat assignment could be much better. Sitting to Le's left is Chris George, one of the bigger stacks in the room.
However, just now Le picked to fight George in the only hand per round when George has the position disadvantage, sitting in the small blind. With 6,900 in the pot preflop, Le and George saw the flop.
George checked to Le, who bet out 5,000 from the button. George called fairly quickly.
The turn was again checked by George, and Le paused for about a minute. He reached for his chips, and grabbed a chunk with his left hand. Then he stopped moving, amending his required amount, and finally fired 13,500.
Then it was George who took a minute before letting his hand go.
With three players holding cards there was no action on the flop of .
The turn card was the and Quan Zhou in the small blind checked to Ryan Laplante in the big blind who bet 2,300. The player on the button folded but Zhou stuck in the chips to call.
The river was the and a check from Zhou saw Laplante win the pot with a 4,500 bet.
Roberto Romanello was in the cutoff, playing against small blind Loren Klein. Coming to the turn with the board , there was close to 15,000 already lying in the middle.
Klein checked, leaving the aggressive action to Romanello. The Welshman didn't hesitate and slid in 10,000. Klein gave up his hand, dropping below the starting stack.
Romanello, who joined the field recently, is already up to 57,000.
Vivian Saliba from Brazil may not the biggest name in the tournament, but she has got off to a noteworthy start and has almost doubled her starting stack.
With Keith Lehr about to close his book on his last-longer pool, Saliba added her name to the list of approximately 30 players.
For some high-stakes players, the action of playing in a $10,000 buy-in WSOP event for hundreds of thousands of dollars isn’t always enough.
Keith Lehr has just bought into the tournament and is busy organizing a last-longer pool to make things a little extra interesting for those who take part.
