Radanov Fights Back

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Damian Radanov
Damian Radanov

Damian Radanov started the final table as the shortest stack, but he has been the most aggressive player so far.

He doubled once through Kyle Cartwright to get off life support and has pushed all in four more times to pick up the blinds.

Moments ago, facing an 18,000-chip open from Josh Lozada, Radanov did it again. Lozado made the call with {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, but couldn't knock Radanov and his {A-Diamonds}{j-Spades} out after he flopped an ace.

Suddenly, Radanov is right back in it.

Radanov Unstoppable

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Damian Radanov pushed Linda Lieder off a sizable pot shoving against her 80,000-chip bet with two aces on the board.

A few minutes later he called two big bets from Garrett Riley and turned a pair of queens to crack his pocket deuces.

He's now gone from the bottom of the chip counts to a spot in the top three.

Riley Doubles

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Linda Lieder made it 20,000 and both Garrett Riley and Josh Lozada called. The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Riley led for 24,000.

Only Lozado called and the turn came the {9-Diamonds}. Riley shipped, Lazado called with {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}, but top pair was no good against Riley's {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} two pair.

The river bricked and Riley doubled.
