Dinner Break

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Players have now left for a one-hour dinner break. When they return the plan will be for them to play five more one-hour levels before those who remain bag up for the night.

Level: 15

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Ante:

One for Andersson

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Fredrik Andersson raised to 10,000 from the cutoff seat and got calls from both blinds — Joseph Cheong and Marcel Luske. The flop came {J-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, and it checked to Andersson who promptly bet 12,500. Cheong let his hand go, but Luske called.

The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds} and both players checked. Both again checked after the {6-Clubs} river.

Luske showed {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a king-high straight, but Andersson had {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} for Broadway and scooped the small pot.

"You Can Guess Who I'm Rooting For"

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Jared Bleznick (Day 1)
Jared Bleznick (Day 1)

Jared Bleznick raised to 8,000 from under the gun, a player called on his direct left, and David Chiu went to call, but accidentally fumbled forward 12,000. He then pulled back chips, making it look like 8,000, and the action folded to 2013 bracelet winner Sandeep Pulusani.

"That was a raise, right?" Pulusani asked the dealer.

Without being told to, Chiu traded one of his yellow T1,000 chips for a pink T5,000 chip, and the bet was once again 12,000. Pulusani raised the pot, making it 56,000, and Bleznick re-potted. The action folded back to Pulusani, who called all in for around 27,000 more.

Pulusani: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Bleznick: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

"You can guess who I'm rooting for," Chiu said, smiling.

The dealer fanned {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Bleznick requested a nine, and low and behold the turn was the {9-Hearts}. The {7-Spades} bricked off on the river, and Pulusani was eliminated.

"You guys thought he had aces?" Bleznick asked the table after the hand.

"Of course!" Tony Cousineau responded.

Strassmann Adds More

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

George Danzer, Johannes Strassmann, and Stephen Chidwick were three handed on a board of {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}. They all checked.

The {a-Spades} completed the board, Danzer knuckled again, and Strassmann fired out 18,000. Chidwick was his only caller, and the Brit mucked when Strassmann showed {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush.

A Winner for Wolfe

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Matt Stout raised the minimum to 8,000 from middle position, then Eoghan O'Dea called from late position. It folded to Stephen Wolfe in the big blind who reraised to 39,000. Stout called the reraise, and O'Dea called as well.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, and Wolfe promptly bet all in for his last 23,000. Stout called the shove while O'Dea stepped aside.

Wolfe: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Stout: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Wolfe had an overpair and a flush draw while Stout had outs to a straight. The turn was the {8-Spades}, filling both players' draws but giving Wolfe the better hand and leaving Stout drawing dead.

Stout Bombs the Turn

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Matt Stout led out for 23,000 on a flop of {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Hearts}. His opponent, Mark Davis, called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, Stout led out again - this time for 81,000 - and Davis went deep into the tank. He cut out enough pink T5,000 chips to make the call, then pulled them back into his stack and unhappily folded.

Kovalchuk KO's Blain

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Mikhail Semin raised to 8,000 in early position, Alexey Rybin called on his direct left, and Oleksii Kovalchuk three-bet to 35,000. Dermot Blain moved all in for 111,000, and the action folded back to Kovalchuk, who called.

"You have aces too?" the Irishman asked the Ukranian.

Kovalchuk shook his head, showing {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and Blain tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}, changing very little but both the turn ({10-Diamonds}) and the river ({10-Hearts}) were both tens, giving Kovalchuk trips. Blain hit the rail, while Kovalchuk, who is searching for his third WSOP bracelet in as many years, is up to 400,000 chips.
