Davies Gives Up, Saves Some Ammo

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Zhang was in the big blind, checking the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} turn to Seth Davies by the time the action was picked up. Davies wagered a hefty bet of 80,000 and Zhang called.

The river fell {5-Clubs} and Zhang checked again. Davies decided to skip the final chance to bluff and tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a whiff. Zhang showed {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and claimed the pot.

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Addamo raised early and Bryn Kenney made it 55,000 in the hijack. Aaron van Blarcum cold-called in the small blind and they went heads up to {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}. Van Blarcum checked and Kenney bet 45,000. Van Blarcum made it 100,000 to go and Kenney quickly jammed for 357,000.

"Ohhh, I can't imagine you got this hand beat, buddy," van Blarcum said.

He tanked long enough to use three time extensions then conceded the pot.

Adams Busts Sam Greenwood

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tsugunari Toma made it 17,000 in the hijack and Sam Greenwood three-bet shoved for 100,500 from the button. Timothy Adams called from the big blind and Toma let his hand go.

Greenwood: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Adams: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop gave Greenwood a flush draw and he hit a pair on the {5-Spades} turn. The {7-Hearts} river didn't help him, however, and Adams finished with a straight to eliminate the fellow Canadian.
