Afriat Fights Back at the Wrong Time but Gets Rewarded

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Eric Afriat
Eric Afriat

Eric Afriat opened to 44,000 on the button. Sung Kim looked over Afriat's chip stack and decided to three-bet from the small blind to the tune of 138,000.

Afriat had 314,000 chips, and after a little thought, announced, "a in." He didn't look happy when Kim snap-called.

Afriat turned over {10-Spades}{j-Spades} for two live cards against the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Kim.

Afriat found a favorable flop when the {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} showed up. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {9-Clubs} river finished the hand and Afriat doubled through Kim.

Aden Stacks Mattison; Burrow Keeps Avoiding Payout Desk

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Aden
Jason Aden

On Table 31, Evan Burrow had moved all in, totaling 104,000 and Trilok Ghanshyam was the lone caller. The cards were turned, Burrow had {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Ghanshyam showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

A {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} board locked it up for Burrow who managed to survive another early all-in.

Nextdoor on Table 32, William Mattison was at risk with his tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and on the other side of the felt was Jason Aden who held {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

The turned board was {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Mattison was just one card from securing a double. Unfortunately for Mattison that one card was an {a-Spades} and he was eliminated, shipping the rest of his chips to Aden who seems to be picking up steam after a slow start to the day.

Meyers Three Queens Lift Him Up

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action picked up on the turn with Alexis Meyer making a bet into a pot of about 220,000. The board showed {q-}{a-}{5-}{4-}. Ghanshyam quickly made the all-in check-raise move and shoved for about 560,000 effective.

Meyer called quickly and showed that he flopped himself a set of ladies which left Ghanshyam drawing thin with {a-}{7-} for top pair.

The board ran out clean for Meyer and he found his way to near the top of the leaderboard.

Cadenas Absorbs Hart's Stack

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Rudy Cadenas
Rudy Cadenas

On a the before the blinds increased, Taylor Hart raised to 32,000, and the action folded around to Rudy Cadenas who elected to three-bet, making it 95,000. Hart took his time on a decision but ultimately, he four-bet shoved for roughly 485,000. Cadenas snapped it off and they buckled up for a runout.

Taylor Hart: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Rudy Cadenas: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Cadenas had Hart one-pipped with his jacks. The {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} runout was of no help to Hart who was eliminated.

The stack of Cadenas is now sitting near the top as he looks to add another Lodge Championship Series title to his resume, having already earned one earlier this week in Event 4: $400 NLH $500,000 Guaranteed, a feat that earned him $54,231.

Snowmen Bring the Chips to Richardson

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Damion Richardson
Damion Richardson

One player opened from middle position before Damion Richardson decided to go all in for 227,000. Nathan Hays started thinking immediately to Richardson's left and chose to put all of his own chips into the pot as well, covering all players with about 560,000.

The initial opener got out of the way and left Richardson and Hays flipping for stacks.

Hays revealed his {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Richardson showed his {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for the race.

The flop offered no help to Hays when the {4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but did provide promise of a backdoor flush draw. The turn kept that hope alive with the {7-Diamonds}. The river {10-Spades} came up short, though, and Richardson secured the full double.

Cosentino Flips Through the Struggling Nabors

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Matthew Cosentino
Matthew Cosentino

The cards were in the air between Matthew Cosentino and Christopher Nabors. Cosentino was at risk, having a total of 155,000 and Nabors was attempting to turn around his Day 2 with a pot.

Matthew Cosentino: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Christopher Nabors: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The dealer spread {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on the flop and Nabors was still in front with his nines. A {2-Diamonds} turn left Cosentino against the ropes with one last card to fall.

The dealer flipped the tournament-life saving {a-Hearts} for Cosentino who managed to pull in a double through Nabors shortly after the break.

Garcia Finds a River Diamond

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

One player raised in middle position to 32,000 and got four callers, including Jonathan Dull on the button and Adam Garcia in the blinds.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and action checked to Dull on the button. He bet 75,000 into the pot of about 140,000. Garcia thought for a bit before announcing all in for 259,000. The action folded back to Dull.

"I can't really fold," and he put the chips in for the call.

Garcia showed the {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the flush draw and Dull revealed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair.

The turn was a blank in the {2-Spades}, but the river {8-Diamonds} made Garcia's flush and left Dull with under ten big blinds.

"I don't know what he's doing there. What are you doing there with no overs Adam?"

"I felt like it was coming," said Garcia as he scooped the pot.
