Lee and Leas Are Lost

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

From late position, Hun Wei Lee three-bet shoved all in for 34,100 and Asj Taylor reshoved out of the small blind to enforce a fold from the initial raiser.

Lee: {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Taylor: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board blanked out and Lee was sent to the rail.

Over on table 34, there was a raise as well and David Leas then got his short stack in. Javier Zarco repushed from one seat over to isolate successfully.

Leas: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Zarco: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Again the player at risk found no help with the board running out {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and the second seat open within one minute was confirmed.

The Short Stack Swap

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sergio Aido got his tiny little stack all in versus the short-but-bigger stack of Elliot Smith.

It was Aido's {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} versus Smith's {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop gave Aido a flush draw, the {10-Clubs} turn made him a pair, and the {6-Hearts} river gave him a flush.

Aido doubled and now he and Smith are both equally as short.

Woodhead No More

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Javier Zarco raised to 9,000 and Stephen Woodhead pushed from one seat over. The action reached James Atkin in the big blind and the Brit moved all in as well. "How much is this and how much is that?" Zarco asked the dealer and Woodhead was at risk for 21,600, while Atkin said he was at risk for 60,000. Zarco then folded and the cards were tabled.

Woodhead: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Atkin: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The flop {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} was almost as bad as it can get for Woodhead and he didn't get there anymore with the {J-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river as last two community cards.

Smith Departs

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A short-stacked Elliot Smith shoved for his last six big blinds and the action folded all the way to Michael Tomeny in the big blind. He peeked at both cards and then quickly called, Smith sighed big time when he spotted the cards of his opponent.

Smith: {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Tomeny: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

It was all over after the turn of a board {10-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and that sent Smith to the rail just shy of the money.

Aido Bubbles The Bubble

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sergio Aido got his short stack in with the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Ferenc Riech looked him up with the {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

The board rolled out {7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} making Riech a pair and taking Aido out with it.

Following his bust out, play went hand-for-hand on the stone bubble.

Javier Zarco Is the Bubble Boy!

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Javier Zarco raised and Alex Grocott then three-bet to 29,000 out of the big blind. Zarco jammed and was snap-called to put both players on hold while the other tables finished their action. "You got aces? Because I have one of them," Zarco asked his table neighbor.

Zarco: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Grocott: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The Spaniard was at risk for just over 100,000 chips and Grocott had him covered to stay ahead after a board of {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}. All remaining players are in the money and Grocott took over the chip lead.

Mooney First Out in the Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Geoffrey Mooney
Geoffrey Mooney

Georges Moussa raised and then found himself confronted with the shove of Geoffrey Mooney and the isolation of Najeem Ajez right after. Moussa folded and Mooney was the player at risk:

Mooney: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Ajez: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Mooney headed to the cashier.
