Crowe Scores Elimination

Tyler Foran

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Terry Crowe raised to 135,000 in early position and the action was on Shaun Deeb a couple of spots to his left.

"Can you move your arm please," asked Deeb politely as he tried to see how many chips Crowe had behind. After a few more seconds he made the call and Praise Ogwo was in the big blind as he called off his total stack of 80,000.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♣K♦2♠ and Crowe quickly announced pot and Deeb's cards flung into the muck.

Praise Ogwo: Q♠10♣8♦3♦
Terry Crowe: A♦K♥9♥4♦

Ogwo was drawing slim as the dealer completed the board with the 4♣ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river.

Altomonte Makes Tough Call

Tyler Foran

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On the turn of 9♦6♥3♣Q♥ and roughly 130,000 in the middle, Joseph Altomonte bet 60,000 and was looked up by his only opponent in the hand, Ian Williams.

The Q♠ paired the river and Altomonte checked. Williams fired out a bet of 160,000, putting Altomonte in the tank. After about 30 seconds he made the call to hear the words, "jack-high," by Williams.

Altomonte quickly rolled his J♦10♦9♣5♥ over for nines and queens with a jack-kicker and Williams flashed him Jx5x before tossing his hand into the muck.

Tyler Foran

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

With roughly 800,000 chips in the middle, the board read J♣9♠3♠A♠6♣ and Ryan Mcknight checked to Aaron Ang, who fired out a multi-colored bet of 350,000.

Mcknight went into the tank for some time, eyeing the pot before making the call. Ang quickly announced "flush," as he tabled 9♦8♠6♦2♠, which was good to drag the pot.

Betito Makes Two Pair to Eliminate Schnellenberger

Tyler Foran

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

Bryce Schnellenberger raised under the gun to the maximum of 140,000, leaving roughly 90,000 behind, and the action folded around to Liran Betito, who came along in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♥5♦2♠ and the chips quickly went in as Betito pushed his stack across the line and Schnellenberger called.

Bryce Schnellenberger: A♦Q♣5♣2♣
Liran Betito: A♥9♦8♠2♥

Schnellenberger flopped two pair against Betito's pair of ducks, but the 8♣ turn and A♠ river improved Betito to aces-up as Schnellenberger headed to the payout desk.
