Let's Hear It For The Three-Bet

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Todd Terry raised from the cutoff to 75,000 only to be quickly three-bet by Adam Junglen to 180,000. It folded back to Terry who quickly mucked his cards, awarding Junglen the pot.

The next hand Scott Baumstein made it 70,000 to go from late position only to have Tom Marchese make it 185,000 from the cutoff. Baumstein folded and gave Marchese the pot.

It seems that at this table so far, three-betting preflop has been enough to take down pots.

Sean Getzwiller Eliminated in 9th Place ($36,669)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Sean Getzwiller - 9th Place
Sean Getzwiller - 9th Place

From the button, Adam Junglen opened to 60,000 only to have Sean Getzwiller move all in from the small blind for 660,000. Junglen deliberated for a few moments before eventually making the call.

Getzwiller: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Junglen: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop gave Getzwiller no immediate outs, but with plenty of runner-runner combinations, the {6-Spades} on the turn was perfect for Getzwiller as he needing any ace, queen, nine, eight or spade to survive.

Unfortunately for the Event #8: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Champion, the river would fall the {K-Hearts} to end his double-bracelet chase in 9th place for a $36,669 payday. With that pot, Junglen moves to roughly 4,050,000 in chips.

Gross Doubles Through Baumstein

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jeffrey Gross managed to get his whole stack in the middle against Scott Baumstein preflop holding {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} against Baumstein's {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Gross' aces were still good. The {2-Diamonds} turned, giving Baumstein chop outs, but his hopes for a chop were dashed when the {10-Clubs} hit the river. Gross is now sitting on about 2,500,000.

Aces Against Kings Ensure Baumstein Double

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Adam Junglen opened to 65,000 only to have Mark Radoja three-bet next to act to 170,000.

From the next seat over in the cutoff, Scott Baumstein pushed out a four-bet amounting to 395,000 as the action swiftly returned to Junglen.

He eyed up both player's chip stacks before announcing a raise to 3,000,000. Radoja kicked his cards to the muck, but Baumstein quickly re-checked his hand before announcing a call for his 1,630,000-chip stack.

Junglen: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Baumstein: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

With a cooler in progress, the board was spread {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to see Baumstein improve to a set while doubling through to 3,510,000 while Junglen slips to 2,425,000 in chips.

Baumstein Scoops a Big Pot

Adam Junglen raised to 65,000 and was called by Scott Baumstein, Nicolas Fierrogottner, and finally Todd Terry from the big blind. The flop fell {3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Terry checked to Junglen who fired out 160,000.

Baumstein made the call and the rest folded, making them heads up for the pot. The turn came {8-Clubs} and the action went check-check. The river fell {Q-Clubs} and Junglen led out for 200,000. Baumstein quickly raised to 425,000 and after some pondering, Junglen made the call only to see Baumstein turn over a winning {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

Nikita Slipping

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Nikita Lebedev opened to 75,000 only to have Adam Junglen three-bet to 180,000 from two seats over.

Lebedev's early position raise couldn't handle the heat of the Junglen three-bet as the Russian's cards were angled to the muck as he slipped below the 900,000-chip mark.

Fierrogott-Cha

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jeffrey Gross opened the cutoff with a raise to 80,000 with Tom Marchese smooth-calling from the button before Nicolas Fierrogottner three-bet to 230,000 from the small blind.

Gross passed, but Marchese made the call as the flop landed {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players tapped the table. When the turn of the {A-Spades} landed, Fierrogottner pushed out 380,000 and Marchese made the call as the {j-Clubs} completed the board.

Fierrogottner announced a bet of 500,000 as Marchese went into the tank for not one, not two, not even three minutes. Falling just shy of seven minutes, Marchese eventually would make the call, only to muck when shown Fierrogottner's {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for two pair.

As Marchese slips to 530,000, Fierrogottner moves to 2,750,000 in chips.
