Four Ways, but No Betting

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Claudia Crawford raised to 85,000 from under the gun and received three callers. Zal Irani called from the cutoff seat, Ryan Riess called from the small blind, and John Bitakis called from the big blind.

On the flop, turn and river, all four players checked around as the dealer ran out the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board. Irani showed the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for king high after checking the river, but Riess did better with the {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair. Bitakis and Crawford mucked, and Riess won the pot.

Queens for Kirk

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Tripp Kirk raised to 80,000 from under the gun to kick off this hand, and Joshua Reichard called on the button. Everyone else folded before the dealer spread the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked the flop, and the {2-Spades} was added to the board on the turn. Here, both players checked again. Then, the {K-Spades} paired the board with cowboys on the river. Kirk bet 75,000, and Reichard made the call.

Kirk showed the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for two pair, kings and queens. Reichard mucked, and Kirk won the pot.

Williams Flops Top Two

James Henson and Josh Williams were heads up with the board reading {3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Henson led for 125,000. Williams raised to 375,000, and without even knowing the amount of the raise, Henson immediately called.

The river was the {6-Clubs}, and Henson checked. Williams tossed out 230,000, and Henson snap-called. Williams turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top two pair, and Henson flashed the {a-Clubs} before mucking.

John Bitakis Eliminated in 14th Place ($25,805)

John Bitakis - 14th place
John Bitakis - 14th place

John Bitakis open-shoved for around 500,000 from under the gun, and two spots to his left, Joshua Reichard re-jammed. The action behind folded, and the hands were opened.

Bitakis: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Reichard: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

"I'm live," Bitakis said. "No spades."

There was only one spade on the flop, but the {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop gave Reichard top two pair. The {a-Clubs} on the turn gave him a full house, eliminating Bitakis from the tournament, and the {10-Clubs} completed the board.

Reichard is up to 2.15 million, while Bitakis is out.

Sean Szurko
Sean Szurko

From under the gun plus one, Sean Szurko raised all in for 1.36 million. Action folded to James Henson on the button, and he reraised all in for around 2.4 million. Everyone else folded, and it was Szurko versus Henson.

Henson held the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, and Szurko held the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to give Szurko a set, and then he filled up when the {Q-Hearts} hit on the turn. The {8-Hearts} landed on the river to complete the board, and Szurko officially doubled up.

Crawford Doubles In Size

Claudia Crawford
Claudia Crawford

From the hijack seat, Claudia Crawford raised to 100,000. Joshua Reichard reraised from the cutoff seat to 300,000, and action folded back to Crawford. She announced that she was all in for 1.085 million, and Reichard called.

Reichard showed the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and was up against the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for the at-risk Crawford. To make the call, Reichard had to commit just under half of his entire chip stack.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the tens stayed in front for Reichard so far. The turn was the {J-Clubs} and put Crawford in the lead, but Reichard held the only club in the battle.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Hearts} and that little red lady secured to double up for Crawford. She boomed back over two million, while Reichard dropped to about 1.2 million.
