Jake Stein Doubles Up

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jake Stein shoved all in preflop for about 37,000, just under 10 big blinds. Action folded to Thomas McGaffigan in late position who called.

Players revealed their hands and Jake had {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} against the {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of McGaffigan. At risk for his tournament life, Stein spiked a king on the flop that held to secure his double and keep him alive.

Nguyen Commits Regicide to Decimate Cheng

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was a huge preflop all in progress as Vu Nguyen had the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and was at risk vs the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Gary Cheng.

The flop was about as good as Nguyen could have wished for as it came {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to pair the ace and give him the nut flush draw. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river came the {10-Spades} to secure the pot for Nguyen and kill the kings of Cheng and leave him with a very short stack.

Salazar Gets Called By Ace High

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aden Salazar
Aden Salazar

Action began on the river with the board reading {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Salazar announced all in from the small blind and put out enough to cover Jeffrey Fielder's 67,000 remaining chips.

Fielder went deep into the tank. He rubbed his forehead and thought for about three minutes. Finally, he slammed a stack of chips into the middle and revealed {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

"Full house," announced Salazar and showed {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} to scoop the pot and eliminate Fielder.

Cheng Wins Massive Three-Way All In

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gary Cheng
Gary Cheng

Action was picked up preflop with three players all in with very similar stacks. John Cramer had 80,000 and was ahead with the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, Allan Walter had 70,000 and was at risk with {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and Gary Cheng had 68,000 and was at risk with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

The flop brought the {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} and gave life to Cheng's flush draw. The turn {3-Diamonds} was no help. The river {3-Clubs}, though, was just what Cheng needed to bust Cramer's aces and win a massive 200,000 chip pot.

Gansel Gets There on the Turn

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lori Gansel
Lori Gansel

Action picked up on the flop of {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} with Lori Gansel and Caleb Shumard looking at the monotone flop. Gansel bet 12,000 and Shumard thought for a bit and called.

The turn added another diamond in the {4-Diamonds} and Gansel quickly moved all in for the effective 35,000 in Shumard's stack. Shumard thought hard before eventually committing the rest of his chips.

Gansel flipped over the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for the turned flush and Shumard had the {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the turned two pair. The river {q-Hearts} was no help and Gansel took down the pot and Shumard was busted.

Nathan Hays
Nathan Hays

Action was on the flop as it read {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} with a large pot of 58,000 already in the middle. Nathan Hays bet 35,000 from the button. Thurman Ragsdale took his time while playing with his chips before tossing one chip forward and saying all in. Hays called.

Hays had the lead with the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} while Ragsdale had the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river the {8-Diamonds} to give Hays a huge pot and move toward the chip lead.
