Sepiol Can't Win a Flip

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Sepiol
Daniel Sepiol

Daniel Sepiol raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and Justin Coliny three-bet to 60,000 from the big blind. Sepiol four-bet shoved for 483,000 and Coliny quickly called.

Daniel Sepiol: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Justin Coliny: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Coliny's jacks held on a {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board to bring the field down to the final two tables.

AK No Good for BJ; 19 Remain

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
BJ McBrayer
BJ McBrayer

BJ McBrayer was all in versus Neil Patel's cowboys and needed to see poker's highest card hit the board to avoid a bust.

BJ McBrayer: {a-}{k-}
Neil Patel: {k-}{k-}

The board ran out clean for Patel, and the field is now one knockout away from dropping down to two tables.

Darland Flips for Tournament Life

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With play seven handed at all three remaining tables, Jason Darland open-jammed 190,000 from early position. Brad Smith quickly called next to act after confirming the count, and everyone else folded.

Jason Darland: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Bradley Smith: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop wasn't promising for Darland, but he spiked the {a-Spades} on the turn and a gratuitous second pair on the {q-Clubs} river for the double.

Lucky Flop for Izadi

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bradley Smith opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and saw one caller in Hamid Izadi, who defended his big blind.

Smith continued for 20,000 on {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and Izadi called.

Izadi checked the {k-Spades} turn, and Smith fired 70,000. Izadi called again.

The {2-Diamonds} river changed nothing, and action quickly checked through. Izadi rolled over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped two pair, and Smith mucked.

"I knew you had an ace," said Izadi. "I had two pair, and I didn't like the turn."

Shin Next to Fall

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mike Shin
Mike Shin

Mike Shin jammed for 124,000 from middle position, and Nate Stumpf three-bet shoved for a little more in the small blind, chasing out Donald Shaver in the big blind.

Mike Shin: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Nate Stumpf: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Shin missed the {4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, but the {j-Hearts} turn gave him some extra outs with an open-ender, although Stumpf had picked up a gutshot of his own. The {j-Diamonds} river bricked off, and Shin hit the rail.
