"Pretty good timing," said Moneymaker. The board came {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Aido doubled up.

Level 32 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Frank Stepuchin
Frank Stepuchin

Frank Stepuchin limped in the cutoff and Freddy Deeb raised to 1,120,000 in the small blind. Stepuchin called.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Deeb moved all in, covering his opponent.

"I almost flopped quads," said Stepuchin who threw in a time extension before ultimately calling.

Freddy Deeb: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Frank Stepuchin: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Deeb had flopped top pair and there was to be no miracle five on the {k-Spades}{10-Spades} runout and the start of day chip leader was eliminated.

Marquez Calls Down Kempe

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rainer Kempe raised it up to 210,000 on the button and Ana Marquez called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Marquez check-called a bet of 150,000 from Kempe.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Marquez checked again. Kempe fired out a bet of 400,000 and Marquez stuck around to see the {2-Clubs} on the river. Marquez checked for the third time and Kempe announced all in. Marquez had 1,095,000 chips in front of her and she used up a time extension before making the call for her tournament life.

Kempe reluctantly turned over {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for just king-high and Marquez held {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for two pair to earn herself a double up.

Ausmus Gets a Favorable Triple Up

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus shoved all in for 960,000 on the button and Rainer Kempe called from the small blind. Chris Moneymaker also called from the big blind and the flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Kempe checked to Moneymaker who slid out a bet of 700,000. Kempe folded and the two remaining hands were tabled. Moneymaker held {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} against the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Ausmus.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} to give Ausmus the best hand but he still needed to avoid an eight or a diamond. The river was the {9-Spades} and Ausmus found himself a double up. The look on Kempe's face indicated that he folded the best hand, if only Moneymaker didn't bet the flop.

Moneymaker Pressures Ausmus

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus raised to 200,000 and Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 500,000 from the small blind. Ausmus used a time extension before calling.

The flop {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and turn {8-Clubs} were checked by both players and Moneymaker bet 1.5 million, enough to put Ausmus all in, on the {j-Hearts} river. Ausmus used another extension before folding.
