Not Too Many Flops Going On

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #53: Scott Seiver raised to 200,000 under the gun and Brian Rast called from the big blind to see a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Rast checked, Seiver continued for 250,000, and Rast quickly released.

Hand #54: David Peters raised to 180,000 from the button and Rast called from the small blind. Seiver then three-bet to 620,000, and both his opponents folded.

Hand #55: Rast opened for 180,000 from the button and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #56: Seiver raised to 200,000 and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #57: Seiver raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #58: Rast received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #59: Peters raised to 180,000 from the button and Rast called from the small blind. Seiver came along from the big and it was three-way action to the {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, which they all checked. The {K-Spades} turn saw Rast bet 250,000 and win the pot.

Drinan Gets There to Double Through Peters

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #60: Scott Seiver raised to effectively 1,185,000 from the small blind and Connor Drinan folded his big blind.

Hand #61: Brian Rast raised to 180,000 from the cutoff and Timofey Kuznetsov called from the big blind.

They checked to the river of a {6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} board where Rast took it down with a bet of 240,000.

Hand #62: Scott Seiver raised to 200,000 from the cutoff, Connor Drinan raised all in for 1,045,000 from the button, David Peters called from the big blind and Seiver folded.

Drinan: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Peters: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, no help to Drinan at all. The {10-Hearts} turn left him just three outs to survive. The {10-Diamonds} river fell, though, to give him trip tens to double up.

Peters Continues to Slide

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #63: Timofey Kuznetsov raised to 180,000 from the button only to have David Peters three-bet to 465,000 from the small blind. Not to be outdone, Kuznetsov four-bet all in for 2.02 million and Peters snap-folded.

Hand #64: Brian Rast raised to 260,000 from the small blind and Scott Seiver folded from the big.

Hand #65: Peters raised to 180,000 from the cutoff and Connor Drinan called from the big blind to see a {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. Drinan checked, Peters did too, and the {8-Hearts} peeled off on the turn. Drinan bet 240,000, Peters called, and the {3-Spades} completed the board on the river. Drinan bet 300,000 and Peters called only to muck when his opponent rolled over the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Hand #66: Peters raised to 180,000 under the gun, Kuznetsov called from the big blind, and the flop came down {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Action went check-check, the {J-Clubs} appeared on the turn, and again it went check-check. The {9-Spades} river saw Kuznetsov bet a mere 90,000, and Peters got rid of his hand.

Hand #67: Seiver raised to 200,000 from the cutoff, Peters called from the big blind, and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Two checks brought the {5-Spades} turn, and Peters checked to Seiver, who bet 215,000. Peters folded.

Rast Nearing 10 Million

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #68: David Peters limped from the small blind and Brian Rast checked his option.

The flop fell {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Peters bet 100,000 Rast called to see the {8-Spades} turn. Peters checked, Rast bet 180,000 and Peters gave it up.

Hand #69: Scott Seiver received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #70: Timofey Kuznetsov raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Rast three-bet to 500,000 from the button, and Kuznetsov folded.

Hand #71: Peters raised to 180,000 from under the gun and took it down.

Hand #72: Seiver raised to 180,000 from the cutoff, Timofey Kuznetsov three-bet shoved for 2,475,000 from the small blind and Seiver folded.

Hand #73: Seiver raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Kuznetsov three-bet to about 525,000 from the button and Seiver folded.

Hand #74: Peters limped the button, Rast called from the small blind and Seiver checked his option.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Rast bet 165,000. Only Seiver called to see the {4-Diamonds} turn where Rast bet 375,000. Seiver called again, the {J-Hearts} river completed the board and Rast checked. Seiver mulled it over for a bit before he checked behind.

"Nice check, sir," said Rast, as he showed {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two pair to win the pot.

Last Two Hands of Level 19

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #75: Brian Rast raised to 180,000 from the button and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #76: Connor Drinan raised to 250,000 from the small blind and Timofey Kuznetsov called from the big. The {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop saw Drinan bet another 250,000, and Kuznetsov wasted little time in making the call. Drinan then checked the {7-Hearts} turn, Kuznetsov did too, and the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Again it went check-check and Drinan showed the {6-Spades}{5-Spades}, which was no good against Kuznetsov's {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}.
