Chris Burmeister busted with A2.
Chris Burmeister busted with A2.

Chris Burmeister shoved from the small blind when action folded to him and was called by Jason Seefeld in the big. Seefeld's {a-}{7-} held against Burmeister's {a-}{2-}, and the chip leader coming into the day had to content himself with a small score.

Ficek Misses Outs, Busts

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jun Kim dodged a lot of outs.
Jun Kim dodged a lot of outs.

Darren Ficek opened for a raise and was called in one spot before Jun Kim three-bet in the cutoff. Ficek shoved, and Kim called.

Ficek: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Kim: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

We were off to the races, and it stayed roughly even on the {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, which gave Ficek a flush draw. A {6-Hearts} opened up a chop possibility on the turn.

"Keep it low," Kim urged the dealer.

He did just that, placing the {8-Hearts} down to end Ficek's tournament.

"How do I miss that many outs?" Ficek wondered aloud.

DJ Buckley scooped a big pot with aces full.

Bryan Moon opened for 26,000 in early position, and DJ Buckley in the cutoff was the only caller. Moon bet 26,000 more on the {10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop, and Buckley called. Moon bet 42,000 on the {10-Spades} turn and was called once more before firing 60,000 on the {a-Spades} river. Buckley shoved for 158,000, and Moon called.

Buckley showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the top full house, and Moon said he had a lower boat.

Moellendorf Wakes Up Versus Payne

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ken Payne
Ken Payne

Ken Payne shoved all in from cutoff, and Jim Moellendorf called after peaking at his cards in the big blind.

Payne: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Moellendorf: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Payne was in awful shape, but he had some hope with a pair and a straight draw on the {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} board after fourth street. A {6-Spades} river did nil for him though, and he busted out.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Moon's Busts Liebergen in Brutal Fashion

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Will Liebergen got very unlucky with two pair.
Will Liebergen got very unlucky with two pair.

Will Liebergen bet 48,000 after two checks on a {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop, and Bryan Moon shipped all in after the first checker had folded.

Moon: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Liebergen: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The two had the same hand, but Moon had a tiny freeroll if backdoor hearts came. That's exactly what happened when the {2-Hearts} followed the {a-Hearts} out of the dealer's hand.

Stone Takes from Johnson

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Aaron Johnson bet 36,000 from under the gun into two opponents on a {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop. Nik Stone made the call in the cutoff, and Ken Payne folded the button. Both players checked the {5-Hearts}, and a {2-Clubs} finished out the community. Johnson bet 58,000, and Stone called with {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Johnson flipped {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} into the middle for a missed combo draw.

Gutfreund Two-Outs Villareal

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Anselmo Villareal took a bad beat for his stack.
Anselmo Villareal took a bad beat for his stack.

David Gutfreund open-shipped in middle position and was called by Anselmo Villareal in the cutoff.

Villareal: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Gutfreund: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Gutfreund was in bad shape with his underpair, but the flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades}, giving him the set he needed. A {2-Hearts} turn and {a-Clubs} river didn't help Villareal, who took the beat in stride.
