Only the Good Die Young

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Brian Roberts raised to 5,600, and then Rory Young reraised to 14,500. Roberts came back with a four-bet to 28,500, and Young announced that he was all in — a shove worth a little over 100,000. Roberts snap-called with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and had Young's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} in bad shape.

The {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop made matters worse for Young, but the {J-Spades} on the turn did give him some life in the form of a gutshot straight draw. The river was the {4-Hearts}, though, and Young was eliminated.

Roberts climbed to 375,000 in chips.

Hunyh Punished for a Good Call

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We picked up the action on the turn with a board reading {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Danny Hunyh had checked from the small blind, and 2012 WSOP runner-up Jesse Sylvia bet (how much we're not sure) from the under-the-gun position. Hunyh responded with a check-raise to 28,100, and Sylvia three-bet jammed for 58,600 more. Hunyh thought long and hard before making the call.

Sylvia: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Hunyh: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Hunyh was ahead as Sylvia was drawing to a straight and flush, but he was punished when the {5-Clubs} river gave Sylvia the said flush.

"Good call," Sylvia offered as consolation. It was at the time, but then the river came.

Rossiter's Day is Done

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jeff Rossiter
Jeff Rossiter

Jesse Sylvia opened with a raise to 5,000 under the gun and action folded all the way around to Jeff Rossiter, who shoved all in for roughly 15,000 from the big blind. Sylvia snap-called and Rossiter discovered the bad news.

Rossiter: {4-}{4-}
Sylvia: {k-}{k-}

The board ran out clean and Rossiter took his leave from the tournament.

Small Action

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The early days of tournaments are often the "felling out" period, and some of the tables are doing just that here on Day 2.

On one table, Brian Roberts opened with a raise to 5,600 from under the gun, and Jeff Gross called from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Gross checked. Roberts bet 9,000, and Gross folded.

Over on another table, Sam Khouiss raised from early position and Sean Winter reraised from the cutoff seat. Khouiss called, and the flop came out {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Khouiss checked, Winter bet 7,200, and Khouiss folded.

Early Double for Roberts

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We're not sure of the action, but we do know Brian Roberts got his stack all in on the turn with a board reading {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. It appeared Rory Young may have made a move at the pot with the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, but whatever the case he was drawing dead as Roberts held trips with the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The {A-Hearts} was run out on the river for good measure and Roberts was pushed the pot.
