Paplyk Puts the Pressure On

Jeremy Geist

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matthew Paplyk opened to 13,000 from early position before it folded to Larry Mansfield on the button who only took a minute before putting in a three-bet to 31,000. It folded back to Paplyk who thought it over for a moment before putting out a stack of chips large enough to put Mansfield all in.

He went deep into the tank and after about two minutes he called it off for his tournament life.

Larry Mansfield: A♠Q♣ All in
Matthew Paplyk: A♥K♣

Paplyk would flop him almost dead on the 8♥K♥5♥ board. The A♣ turn would seal the deal and the 3♥ river only improved Paplyk to the nuts. Mansfield hit the rail about 25 from the money.

The Ladies Flip for it All

Jeremy Geist

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Deven Lane open jammed from early position for about 50,000 before the action folded to Oksana Kuznichenko in the cutoff who sat in the tank for a moment before rejamming for about 120,000. The remaining players all gave it some thought but they all found a fold one by one.

The cards hit their backs and the table saw the ladies were flipping for win.

Deven Lane: A♠Q♣ All in
Oksana Kuznichenko: J♠J♣

The full board ran out 9♣4♠10♣9♦3♠ and the pair of Jacks held for Kuznichenko to send Lane to the rail.

Sequeira Holds for the KO

Jeremy Geist

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was an early position limp followed by a raised from middle position by Jamie Sequeira to 6,000. It then folded to Mark Fitzpatrick in the small blind who only took a moment before moving all in for his last 22,500. The original limper went deep into the tank but eventually folded. Sequeira flicked in a call and they were off to a full board with Fitzpatrick all in and at risk.

Mark Fitzpatrick: K♦Q♠ All in
Jamie Sequeira: A♦5♠

The full board ran out J♥6♦9♠5♦7♣ and Sequeira sent Fitzpatrick to the rail. Late registration still remains open so don't count anyone out just yet though.

Jamie Sequeira	150,000 150,000	150,000

Christopher Baoukian: K♠Q♠

The full board ran out 4♣2♣K♣10♠5♣ and in just two hands, Tan hit the rail and Baoukian built himself a workable stack.
