Thondup Flops a Set

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

A player got his stack of about 70,000 in from the cutoff and TJ Thondup put him at risk from the big blind with {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The cutoff had {a-Spades}{4-Clubs} and was in awful shape after Thondup hit a set on the {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. Nothing further materialized for Thondup's opponent.

Thondup is up to about 225,000.

Johnson Takes a Beat

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

Aaron Johnson was in the big blind and called the shove of a player in the cutoff who had 54,500.

Johnson: {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Cutoff: {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

"I'm live," the player with jack-seven hopefully stated, and the {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was great for him.

Johnson picked up outs when the {9-Diamonds} hit but an {a-Clubs} river didn't fill his straight draw.

Reading Gets Lucky

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
John Reading
John Reading

John Reading was in the big blind and check-raised a bet from the player on the button to about 45,000. Reading's opponent, who had bet 18,000 on the {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, shoved all in for around 150,000. Reading quickly called.

Reading: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Both players were drawing but Reading was behind. The {10-Spades} turn gave him what he needed though, and the {2-Diamonds} river was a brick.

Reading is up to about 495,000. Players are now on break.

Vang Eliminated

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kou Vang opened to 19,000 under the gun and Jewook Oh three-bet to 58,000 in middle position. Vang shoved all in for 220,000, and Oh took just a moment then flicked in a call.

Oh: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Vang: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop was safe for Vang. The {k-Clubs} turn was not, and he needed a ten on the river to survive. The {q-Hearts} didn't do it.
