Jordanou Doubles

Thomas Bentham fired 18,500 on the flop of {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Abe Mosseri called the bet and Billy Jordanou raised all in for 98,500. Bentham called and Mosseri got out of the way.

Bentham held the {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight, but the low end of it. Jordanou held the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and gave Jordanou the higher straight. The river completed the board with the {J-Diamonds} and Jordanou's hand was best, giving him the double to about 235,000. Bentham dropped back to 330,000.

Kassela Doubles Back Through Thuritz

Frank Kassela raised from the button to 12,000 and Mikael Thuritz called from small blind and Phil Ivey tossed in the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Thuritz fired 17,000. Ivey folded and Kassela raised to 55,000. After a brief moment, Thuritz reraised to put Kassela all in. Kassela called.

Kassela had an overpair with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and was up against the {10-Spades}{8-Spades} of Thuritz.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river the {K-Diamonds} completing the double up for Kassela. He was all in on the flop for 144,500 and is now back over 300,000 in chips.

Suck-Resuck Eliminates Baron

Daniel Negreanu raised to 12,000 and Richard Anthony called. Isaac Baron shoved all in for about 80,000. McLean Karr called the shove and Negreanu folded. Anthony then reshoved and knocked Karr out of the hand.

Anthony held the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} up against the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for Baron. The flop came down {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Baron picked up a set of fives to take the lead. He was only resurrected for a brief moment though, as the {K-Spades} hit the felt on the turn. The river completed the board with the {4-Spades} and ended Baron's tournament. Anthony increased to 466,000 in chips.
