Rossiter Doubles Through Juanda

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

John Juanda opened for 25,000 and received a call from Ami Barer on the button. Australia's Jeff Rossiter then three-bet all in for 225,000 from the big blind, Juanda called, and the Barer got out of the way.

Juanda: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Rossiter: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

It was a flip, and Rossiter had to like the low flop of {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The {6-Clubs} turn meant Rossiter just needed to dodge an ace and queen on the river to double, and that's what he did when the {3-Spades} peeled off to give him a straight.

Rowe Exits

Martin Rowe - 35th Place
Martin Rowe - 35th Place

Martin Rowe opened for a raise in middle position, Vincent Rubianes moved all in on the button, and the action folded back to Rowe, who called all in for less.

Rowe: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Rubianes: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The Aussie found no help as the board ran out {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, and hit the rail in 35th place. Rubianes chipped up to 580,000.

Truong Misses the World

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Just before the break, Khylon Hanegraaf got his last 217,000 all in preflop holding the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and was racing against the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} of Tam Truong. The {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop didn't hit Truong directly, but he did pick up counterfeit options and a gutshot straight draw. The {9-Clubs} turn gave him an added flish draw, but as some people say, it was too many outs. The harmless {8-Hearts} blanked on the river and Hanegraaf breathed a big sigh of relief.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Mourafas

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jim Mourafas opened for 20,000 from the button only to have chip leader Salvatore Fazzino three-bet to 60,000 from the big blind. Mourafas responded by moving all in for 268,000 more, and after thinking about it for 30 seconds Fazzino called.

Fazzino: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Mourafas: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Mourafas was well out in front, and he stayed there as the board ran out {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Team Pro Doubles Through Team Pro

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Liv Boeree (Day 3) - Doubles
Liv Boeree (Day 3) - Doubles

Liv Boeree was all in and at risk for 174,000 on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Fellow Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier had her at risk with {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} for top pair, but Boeree held two aces - {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Neither the turn ({2-Spades}) nor the river ({6-Clubs}) helped Mercier, and Boeree doubled to over 400,000 chips. Mercier has chipped up a little bit here on Day 4, and didn't take a substantial hit to his stack.

Jones Busts

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Rhys Jones (Day 3) - Eliminated
Rhys Jones (Day 3) - Eliminated

Tam Truong opened to 20,000 on the button, Rhys Jones moved all in for what looked like 140,000 out of the small blind, and Andrew Phaedonos cold-called in the big. Truong folded, and the hands were opened.

Phaedonos: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Jones: {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Jones was in rough shape, but the {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop gave him a little hope. He could now survive with running trips, two pair, or one of the four nines in the deck.

Unfortunately for the Brit, the turn and river bricked {j-Clubs}, {10-Spades} respectively, and he was eliminated.

Early Action on Table 32

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There's been some big hands over at Table 32 straight out of the gate here on Day 4. In the first, an extremely short-stacked Jae Kyung Sim doubled through Andreas Lodemel holding the {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} against {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. The board ran out a {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Sim spiked a nine on the river to double.

Not long after, Sim got it all in from early position for 23,000 and Patrick Crivell called an additional 13,000 from the big blind to put him at risk.

Crivell: {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Sim: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Sim was looking to avoid a queen, and that's exactly what he did after the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.
