Sammartino Ousted by Benitez

Level 13 : 2,250/4,500, 550 ante

Dario Sammartino open shoved under the gun for his last 54,161 and was called by Francisco Benitez in the cutoff. Everyone else folded.

Benitez: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Sammartino: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Sammartino found himself in terrible shape going into the flop, which came {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}.

The {5-Clubs} turn gave Sammartino outs to a chop, but the {10-Hearts} fell on the river — eliminating Sammartino and sending him back to re-enter, which he promptly did.

Holz Doubles Through Schemion

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Nick Petrangelo opened to 8,000 from the button and was met with an all-in shove from Ole Schemion from the small blind. Fedor Holz, who was sitting in the big blind, decided to call off for the rest of his 93,257 stack after some thought. Petrangelo folded and hands were revealed.

Schemion: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Holz: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Holz was an ever-so-slight favorite going to the flop, which came {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} — giving Schemion additional outs to a straight.

The {6-Spades} turn propelled Holz into the lead, leaving Schemion needing a nine for the knockout.

The river brought the {a-Spades}, which was not enough and Holz doubled through.

Watson Takes Commanding Lead; Eliminates Two Players

Level 11 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Action began when Yuri Dzivielevski shoved for his 20,071 from early position. Action folded over to Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb, who called from the cutoff. Michael Watson then called from the small blind and Joshua McCully went all-in from the big blind for 49,732. Gottlieb and Watson both called.

Both active players checked the {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and {a-Clubs} turn.

Watson bet out 42,000 on the {8-Spades} river, prompting a fold from Gottlieb. McCurry tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, while Dzivielevski tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. However, neither were good against Watson's {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top pair with the best kicker.

Watson is currently the tournament chip leader.

Gonzalez Makes the Right Call

Level 11 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

Ben Lakatos opened the button for 7,000 and was called by Fabrizio Gonzalez in the big blind.

The flop came {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Gonzalez checked to Lakatos, who bet 6,386. Gonzalez then check-raised to 16,272 and Lakatos called.

Both players checked the {2-Hearts} turn.

The river came the {10-Diamonds} and Gonzalez led out for 17,126. Lakatos then check-raised enough to put Gonzalez all-in for his last 58,252. Gonzalez used a good portion of his timebank before landing on call. Lakatos could only show {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for ace-high, which was no good against the {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Gonzalez for top pair.

Three-way All-in Leaves Gieles on Top

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante

Juan Pardo opened to 6,300 from under the gun and was flatted by Luuk Gieles in middle position. Action folded to "Fantastik55", who shoved for their last 50,914. Action folded back around to Pardo, who called. Gieles then back-raised all-in for 141,101 and Pardo called.

Pardo: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
"Fantastik55": {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Gieles: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Pardo was looking good for a double-knockout; however, the {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop gave Gieles a set — vaulting him into the lead.

The {5-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river changed nothing and Gieles was shipped the massive pot.
