Kitchen sends Michailidis Into the Tank

Level 33 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a family pot, on a board reading {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Brandon Aaron Kitchen checked from the small blind, as did Jeff Cuccurullo from the big blind, Anatoly Zharnitsky from under the gun, Eric Portelance from the cutoff and Said Michailidis on the button.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Kitchen led out for 2,225,000. Everyone folded to Michailidis on the button and he thought for about a minute before calling.

The river was the {6-Spades}. Kitchen paused for a short while before slowly sliding out a bet worth 3,975,000. Michailidies pulled out all of the stops while he was in the tank. He cut out chips, while staring Kitchen down, and even spoke to him with the hopes he would get some information. Kitchen was a vault as he stared straight ahead while getting a mssage.

Eventually, Michailidis folded. "Nice hand. I think you had a hot ten."

"That's a Slow Roll in My Books"

Level 33 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action folded to Brandon Aaron Kitchen on the button and he raised it up to 1,125,000. Anatoly Zharnitsky was in the big blind and moved all-in for 6,825,000. Kitchen asked for a count and calmly counted out his stack to determine how much he had in front of him. Eventually, he called.

Zharnitsky was at risk with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, up against Kitchen's {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Kitchen remained ahead with ace-jack high. The turn was the {6-Clubs} but the river was the {10-Spades} and Zharnitsky paired his ten to stay alive.

"What? It's not pocket tens? I just got slow-rolled with ace-jack. He has ace-jack on the button and he takes like three minutes to call. I have like ten big blinds. That's a slow-roll in my books" argued Zharnitsky.

"Apparently I slow-rolled" said Kitchen to his rail.

Franco A Eliminated in 12th Place ($10,000)

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Franco A
Franco A

Franco A limped in from under the gun and action folded around to the blinds. Raphael Duval limped in from the small blind and Debra Ann Holman checked her option in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and both blinds checked to Franco. He put out a bet worth 800,000 and action was back on Duval. After a moment of thought, the chip leader put in a check-raise to 2,200,000. Holman was staring off into space, not realizing it was her turn, but eventually folded after about a minute. Franco moved all-in for 6,500,000 and Duval snap-called.

Franco was at risk with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks, up against Duval's {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for both a flush and a straight draw. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river was the {7-Clubs}, giving Duval a flush to eliminate Franco in 12th place.

Franco stood up, visibly frustrated, and said "I'd rather lose a hand like that to someone like him" as he pointed to Spencer Jean-Baptiste.

Burstein Takes a Bite Out of the Chip Leader

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Raphael Duval opened from early position and Sean Burstein shoved for 9,000,000 from the small blind, getting a snap-call from Duval.

Burstein was at risk and miles behind with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, looking for help against Duval's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, with the ace right in the window, giving the lead to Burstein. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river was the {5-Diamonds}, keeping Burstein in the game with a double-up.
