McKeehen Loses Pot, Stack Remains Healthy

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 4,000 and Joe McKeehen three-bet to 18,000 out of the small blind. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to the cutoff who announced all in. McKeehen immediately released his hand to take a small hit to his still relatively large stack

Kuo Does Daniels Dirty

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Kitty Kuo open shoved from the button and Jake Daniels called off with the shorter stack out of the big blind. "Oh, f***!" Kuo exclaimed before the cards had been turned over.

Jake Daniels: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Kitty Kuo: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Daniels was well ahead and remained so after the {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. The {a-Clubs} turn, however, dealt a huge blow to his chances in the tournament as he was left drawing to one out once. There was no miracle on the {2-Spades} river, sending Daniels packing in cruel fashion.

Bonin Binks River

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Steven Lerner opened to 3,500 and received a single call from Eric Bonin out of the small blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Bonin checked to the preflop raiser, who continued for 4,000. Bonin made the call to send the two players to the turn.

Action checked through the {7-Diamonds} turn to the {10-Diamonds} river where Bonin led out for 10,500. Lerner wasted no time in calling but was shown {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} by Bonin for rivered broadway, a hand Lerner could not beat.

Daniel Rezaei: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Hijack: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} to leave Rezaei drawing dead on the turn as his opponent made a flush, and he made his exit from the tournament area.
