Zellweger Takes Charge

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We just saw Chance Kornuth involved in a pot where the board read {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}. When we arrived on the scene Kornuth had 10,000 out in front of him, and the action was on Patrick Zellweger, seated on his direct left with 5,000 invested.

After a while Zellweger called, and the river brought the {6-Diamonds}. Kornuth now bet 11,000 and Zellweger called immediately. Kornuth showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight, and that lost against Zellweger's {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

After wandering off to an adjacent table, we caught Zellweger in another pot, which could've been the very next hand. The board read {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs} when a player ended up all in holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} versus Zellweger's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The river was the {7-Clubs}, and Zellweger boosted his stack to 130,000, which is the current tournament chip lead.

Holyoke Gets a Nice Rush

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Edward Holyoke
Edward Holyoke

From the hijack seat, Anthony March raised to 750. Edward Holyoke reraised from the cutoff seat to 2,225, and Thomas Muehloecker put in a cold four-bet to 5,350 from the big blind. March folded, but Holyoke had other things in mind and five-bet to 14,000. After a little bit of thought, Muehloecker came back with an all-in shove for a little over 37,000. Holyoke took a few moments, then called, and put himself at risk for 32,225.

Muehloecker had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and he was ahead of Holyoke had the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and vaulted Holyoke into the lead with top set of jacks. The {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {K-Spades} on the river kept Holyoke in front, and he earned the double up.

Then, on the next hand, March raised to 750 from middle position to kick things off once again. Holyoke three-bet to 2,250 from the hijack seat, and play folded back to March. He called, and the flop came down {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. March checked, Holyoke bet 3,000, and March called.

The turn was the {10-Spades} to pair the board, and both players checked to see the {J-Spades} complete the board on the river. March led with a bet of 3,500, and Holyoke made the call.

March showed the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, but his hand was no good against the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for Holyoke.

As if those two hands weren't enough of a rush for Holyoke, he played the next hand as well and won his third pot in a row. This time he was against Angelina Rich, but the pot didn't go to a showdown.

Holyoke had opened from middle position to 750, and Rich called from the big blind to take the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. After Rich checked, Holyoke bet 1,000. Rich called.

The turn paired the board with the {2-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {K-Clubs} complete the board on the river. Rich checked, Holyoke bet 3,500, and Rich folded.

Levy Fails to Make the Dinner Break

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Grant Levy
Grant Levy

On our last pass through the outer room we noticed Grant Levy was no longer in his seat. A quick check with Russell Thomas, who actually scored the knockout, confirmed that Levy had fallen a bit earlier in the level.

As Thomas told it, Levy had opened for 700 from early position and Thomas defended the big blind with {q-}{10-}. The flop came down {10-}{7-}{3-}, Thomas checked, and Levy bet 1,100, which left him just 3,000 or so behind.

Thomas responded by check-raising all in and Levy called off holding pocket nines. Neither the turn nor river helped Levy, and he made his way to the exit.

Hachem Wins Some from O'Dwyer

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tony Hachem opened from early position and Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind was the only caller. O'Dwyer check called a bet of 1,300 on {8-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and check called another 2,700 on the {Q-Clubs} turn.

The river came the {10-Spades} and O'Dwyer checked. Hachem checked behind instantly and showed his {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} just as quick. O'Dwyer flashed the {K-Hearts} before mucking.

Hall Doubles Through Holz

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Not long after Fedor Holz picked up some steam by knocking out Georgios Zisimopoulos, the German pro had to surrender a fair amount of chips as Tom Hall doubled through him.

The flop showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs} when Hall bet 600 from the under-the-gun position and Holz called from the cutoff.

On the turn the {3-Clubs} hit and Hall bet another 900, which was quickly raised by Holz to 2,800.

Hall tanked for a bit before calling, and on the river the {3-Diamonds} hit.

Hall quickly checked to Holz, and called even quicker when the German pro put him all in for his last 8,875.

Holz showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for king-high, and Hall doubled up with {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a full house.

Holz Eliminates Zisimopoulos

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a raise to 650 and a call from Georgios Zisimopoulos in the cutoff it was Fedor Holz who squeezed to 2,300 from the small blind. The big blind and initial raiser both folded but Zisimopoulos made the call in position.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Holz bet 3,900, enough to put Zisimopoulos exactly all in. Zisimopoulos, who's played countless hands against Holz online, made the call.

Georgios Zisimopoulos: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Fedor Holz: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Holz had paired up and was the favorite, as Zisimopoulos had just the naked flush draw to go on. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn gave him some more outs but the {4-Diamonds} on the river wasn't one of them. Zisimopoulos said his good bye's and Holz started stacking.

Ivey Lets One Go

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

An under-the-gun player raised to 700 and the player to his direct left called. Action proceeded to fold all the way around to Phil Ivey in the small blind and he called to make it three-way action to the {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop. Ivey checked, the original raiser continued for 1,100. The early-position player folded, Ivey called, and it was heads up to the {9-Spades} turn.

Ivey checked for a second time and then ended up folding when his opponent bet 3,200.
