Levine Doubles Through Shorr

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

At the last break, Lanny Levine, who at the time just had 25,000, joked with us that he would soon have 100,000. Well we walked by his table, and saw that he had done well more then that, as he now had 250,000! According to him, he doubled through Shannon Shorr when he held {k-}{j-} on a {j-}{j-}{k-} flop. The money ended up getting in on the river, and Shorr had an inferior jack. Shorr is still in despite the hit, as he has 105,000.

Zimnan Ziyard Doubles

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We missed the precise preflop action but according to Mohsin Charania someone limped under the gun. The player in the hijack position raised it up but that was just the beginning of it. Zimnan Ziyard on the button made it 15,500 to go and Robert Brewer in the small blind bumped it up to 35,000. The limper folded but the hijack shoved all in for 153,500. Ziyard also went all in, for 114,000, and the decision was back on Brewer. He thought for a while but eventually folded, pocket tens he said.

The hijack had {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} while Ziyard was in the driver's seat with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. The flop was a little scary with {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} but the {J-Diamonds} on the turn and {5-Hearts} on the river were harmless.

Charania Coolers Watson

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

"You just missed it man" said Charania as we approached table 445, "I just coolered someone!" Charania told us he had opened with pocket aces to 8,000 under the gun. Cy Watson had three bet right behind him to 20,000 and another player had made the cold four bet to 40,000. Charania made it 78,000 to go and Watson had pushed. The cold four better had folded his queens but Charania of course made the call. Watson tabled pocket kings but didn't get lucky. Charania now plays almost 450,000.

Shorr Busts Idema

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Well there is now one less bracelet winner left in the field after Shannon Shorr eliminated Daniel Idema. The two players got all the chips in the middle preflop, with Shorr holding {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Idema having {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. The board ran down {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and Idema stood up from the table and wished everyone good luck.

After collecting that knockout, Shorr's stack jumped up to 215,000.

Wasicka Folds His Set

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

By the time we arrived the entire board was already out: {10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades} | {8-Clubs} | {2-Diamonds}. Wasicka had checked from the cutoff and his opponent on the button had pushed for 63,500. Wasicka was thinking about it hard. He only had 88,000 left so this was for most of his stack. The pot was already pretty big, though we could not count how big it was exactly.

The hand had started in level 16 but the new level was more than ten minutes underway already. This was a big hand, and a big decision. Eventually Wasicka grabbed his cards, took one more look at them and threw them open in the muck: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Kings Versus Ace King

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Robert Brewer opened to 6,500 from early position and Mohsin Charania made the call from the small blind. Cy Watson came along from the big blind and the three of them saw a flop: {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Both blinds checked to Brewer who made a 12,000 continuation bet. Charania was the only one calling and the EPT Grand Final winner check called another 21,000 on the {6-Spades} turn. The river was the {6-Hearts} and Charania checked for a third time. Brewer bet out 24,000 and got a call from Charania. Brewer showed {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and he took down the pot. Charania showed his {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and took the hit. "That could have been ugly" Brewer said. Charania just smirked.
