Jerry Mouawad
Jerry Mouawad

Jerry Mouawad jammed for 46,000 on the button, and was called by both Bill Richter in the small blind and Tyler Burke in the big blind.

Action checked through a {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board, and Richter tabled {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}, besting the {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} of Burke and {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} of Mouawad to earn the pot and knockout Mouawad.

Anthony Nguyen opened to 17,000, Vanessa Kade three-bet all in, and John Boriolo also shoved. Nguyen folded, and Kade and Boriolo went to showdown, with Kade having her opponent covered.

John Boriolo: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Vanessa Kade: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Board: {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The king on the flop left Boriolo drawing extremely thin, and he headed for the exit after the runout confirmed his elimination.

Veng Can't Hit On Lahti

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

William Lahti raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Teng Veng called in the big blind.

Veng checked the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop to Lahti, and he bet 30,000. Veng check-raised to 60,000.

"Oh, the ol' click-back, eh? I'm all in." Lahti said, jamming for 123,000. Veng called.

William Lahti: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Teng Veng: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Lahti was ahead, but Veng was still live with an open-ended straight draw. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {3-Spades} river left Lahti's kicker in front, and he doubled up.

Flavin's Flush Felts Fitzgerald

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

Three players, including an all-in Rob Fitzgerald, built a pot of 90,000 up and saw a {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop together. Ray Flavin jammed on the flop, chasing out the other opponent, and the two remaining players tabled their hands.

Rob Fitzgerald: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Ray Flavin: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

"Five would be nice," Fitzgerald said.

The {2-Hearts} turn gave Flavin a king-high flush, but Fitzgerald was still live with the nut flush draw. The {q-Diamonds} river bricked off, and Fitzgerald was eliminated.

Ian Steinman opened to 17,000 on the small blind, and Tyler Burke called from the big blind.

Steinman bet 15,000 on the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop, and Burke called. Both players checked the {k-Spades} turn, as well as the {5-Spades} river.

"I forgot what heart I have," said Burke as the two players showed down. It turned out to be the four, as Bukre mucked {4-Hearts}{x-} to Steinman's {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Mary Swafford

On the turn of a {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board, Mary Swafford check-raised all in for her last 60,000 from the small blind after a bet from Alex Conatser from under the gun, and Conatser called.

Mary Swafford: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Alex Conatser: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Swafford turned top pair, but was drawing dead to the {7-Clubs} river due to Conatser's flopped set of fours.

Steinman Spinning it Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian Steinman started Day 2 with the second-smallest stack in the room, but the well-accomplished tournament player has built that up to nearly 30 big blinds as Level 17 plays on.

Steinman added to that total in a hand against Alex Conatser, which began with Conatser opening to 13,000 from the cutoff, and Steinman calling from the small blind.

Both players checked the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, and Steinman bet 12,000 on the {q-Hearts} turn, which Conatser called.

Steinman bet 35,000 on the {5-Hearts} river, getting the fold.

Burke Wins Big Flip to Felt Yoshihara

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a raise from Tyler Burke in the cutoff, Michael Yoshihara three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Burke four-bet to 114,000. Yoshihara five-bet shoved for 240,000 and Burke called.

Michael Yoshihara: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Tyler Burke: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Burke bricked the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop and {6-Hearts} turn, but the {a-Diamonds} hit the river to give Burke a pair of aces and the winner.

"I bink-snapped the river!" Burke said, which led to tablemate Loren Klein and Burke discussing how it felt to hit the ace on the river.
