Green Scoops a Big Pot

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Stephen Green raised to 90,000 from UTG+1, Keith Heine then three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff, and after action folded back to Green he made the call.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, and Green bet 175,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn, which got a call from Heine.

Green continued again, this time with a bet of 315,000 on the {7-Hearts} river, which then got a fold from Heine, and sent the sizable pot to Green.

Green Doubles Through Simon

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Kou Vang opened action UTG +1 with a 85,000 bet. Dave Simon, seated directly to Vang's left, three-bet to 240,000. Action folded to the small blind where Stephen Green called. The big blind folded and action came back to Vang who called.

Green and Vang both checked the {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop while Simon shoved all in. Green called for 1,000,025 while Vang folded.

Simon: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Green: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Green was ahead with his tournament life at stake and stayed ahead as the {9-Clubs} on the turn and {5-Diamonds} on the river were no help for Simon and he doubled up Green.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Kou Vang raised to 85,000 under the gun and action folded to Keith Heine in the big blind who called.

Fireworks started after a {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop when Heine check-raised Vang's bet of 80,00 to 205,000. Vang then four-bet to 330,000. Henie thought while counting out his chips and then folded his hand.

Joe Landazzi Eliminated in 8th Place ($17,120)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joe Landazzi - 8th Place
Joe Landazzi - 8th Place

Joe Landazzi raised to 80,000 from middle position.

Action then folded around to Kou Vang, who called from his big blind.

After Vang checked the {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Landazzi shoved all in and was immediately called by Vang.

Landazzi had a big overpair to the board, but Vang had flopped top set.

Landazzi: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Vang: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The {6-Hearts} turn was a good card for Landazzi, giving him more outs.

However, the {j-Diamonds} wasn't one of them, and he was our second elimination of the day.
