To Eliminates Two

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A player in middle position was all in for 34,400 and David To shoved from the hijack. The big blind called off for about 50,000.

To: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Middle position: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Big blind: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop on the felt, giving To a big lead. A {3-Hearts} turn brought a sweat since the big blind picked up a flush draw but the {5-Spades} river was safe for To.

Veeck Ships on Medvecz

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Matt Medvecz opened to 3,200 under the gun and called a three-bet to 9,400 from Casey Veeck. They saw {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, and Medvecz checked. Veeck said he was all in and Medvecz asked for a count. It was 76,000.

"I have a pair," Medvecz announced. "Not discussing this hand, but discussing hands where {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flops do you typically go all in?"

Medvecz was warned for talking about the hand.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" Medvecz asked, switching tactics.

"Golfing," Veeck said. "8:24 tee time. Clock."

Medvecz mucked his hand well before his time was up.

Two-Outer for the Lead

Jerry Gumila
Jerry Gumila

We heard a shout and turned to see Jerry Gumila yelling for deuces to hit the board after a {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Spades} flop. He had {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} in front of him and an opponent was all in with {a-}{a-}.

"YES!" Gumila shouted after the {j-Diamonds} and {9-Clubs} hit the board.

Gumila said he had opened to 3,800 and got one call before the player with aces just shipped it for roughly 100,000. Gumila had snap-called and then flopped his winning boat. He now has nearly 300,000 and looks to be the clear leader.

Reichard Binks River on Ford

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Brett Reichard bet 12,500 from under the gun on a board of {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, and Joe Ford thought awhile before sliding forward a raise in the hijack. Reichard asked for a count and it was 28,000 more. He leaned back in his chair and then shoved all in. Ford called for about 30,000 more.

Ford: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Reichard: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The dealer burned and then peeled the {a-Hearts} off the deck to ship Reichard bigger two pair and the pot.

"Nothin to 'er," he quipped.
