Yilmaz Doubles Lucky to Stay Alive

Eric Bergen raised to 24,000 to open the pot, and Eric Yilmaz three-bet shoved for 139,000 total. When it came back to Bergen, he thought for a long while before making what was a very good call for most of his chips.

Showdown
Bergen: {K-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Yilmaz: {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Yilmaz did not like the news, and he slapped his cards onto the felt in frustration. The news would improve, though. The board ran out {3-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, and Yilmaz notches the come-from-behind double. It moves him back close to average with around 300,000, while Bergen is left crippled down around 20,000.

Lowery Gets Out of the Basement

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, we saw the dealer put the fourth card down on the {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} board, and Eric Yilmaz knocked the table. Daniel Lowery took his cue to make a bet of 30,000, but Yilmaz check-raised to 95,000 total. Lowery tanked and called, leaving himself 72,000 behind.

We didn't hear how it happened, but one way or another, that remainder went into the pot behind the {5-Clubs} river. When it was time for showdown, Lowery's {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} drew a frustrated reaction from Yilmaz. That's most of his stack flushed away, leaving him with about 160,000.

For Lowery, it's a much needed double to push his stack back up around 380,000.

Levine Goes Out

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On the turn of a {J-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} board, Dennis Pevarnick led out into the pot with 25,000. Drew Levine was the only other player in the pot, and he only had about 95,000 chips left. After a long while considering, he raised it all in there, and Pevarnick quickly called to put him to the test.

Pevarnick showed up {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}, and Levine's {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} was already drawing dead. The river {2-Spades} was a mere formality at that point, and Levine has been sent off in 20th place.

Castoire's Tens Trumped by Pevarnick's Jacks

Dennis Pevarnick opened to 23,000 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Robert Castoire in the big blind. He called and the hands were tabled.

Pevarnick: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Castoire: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

The board ran {4-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and Castoire's hopes for a fourth WSOPC ring were lost.
