Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Norberto Santamaria
Norberto Santamaria

Norberto Santamaria put his last 33,000 in from the cutoff and was called by Blake Warner in the big blind.

Santamaria: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Warner: {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Warner's rags were live, and both players flopped straight draws on the {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. A {4-Clubs} turn gave Warner a leading pair, and a {6-Diamonds} a straight for good measure.

At the other table, Adam Lamphere went bust.

Jeremy Dresch opened for 25,000 and called a three-bet to 60,000 from Ken Pates. Both players checked to the river, when the board read {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Dresch checked again, and Pates bet about 80,000. Dresch folded, and Pates showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

At another table, John Hayes busted out.

Brutal End for Sandness' Defense

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Mark Sandness got three-outed.
Mark Sandness got three-outed.

Mark Sandness bet 24,000 on a board of {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds} from under the gun and was called by Steve Vang in middle position. On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Sandness put in his last 108,000, and Vang thought for a couple of minutes before calling.

Vang: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Sandness: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Sandness was poised for a big double, but a {10-Spades} river caused him to slap the table and curse in frustration. The three-outer put a brutal end to the former champion's defense.

At the next table, Ervin Bjerga is nearing seven figures.

Null Folds to Bjerga

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

Ervin Bjerga

Andrew Null opened to 25,000 under the gun and was called in three spots. He continuation-bet the {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop for 25,000, and only Ervin Bjerga called. On the {8-Hearts} turn, Null bet 50,000 and Bjerga raised to 100,000. Null mucked his hand in short order.

Marsh Back from the Grave

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

When we last saw Ben Marsh, he could his whole stack in his hand. Now, he's still under 20 big blinds but at least has a fighting chance after doubling through Andrew Null.

Adam Lamphere opened for 18,000 in the hijack and Marsh moved in for 57,000 in the cutoff. Null made it 108,000 in the big blind, and Lamphere folded {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} face up. He had some key cards for both players.

Marsh: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Null: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

A {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop meant Null had one out, and he didn't get there as {8-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} finished the board.
