Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
John Kelly
John Kelly

Justin Jones opened to 125,000 from early position and action folded around to John Kelly, who took his time before sliding his stack of grey 25,000 chips in, reraising all in for a total of 450,000. The rest of the table folded and action was back on Jones, who pondered for a few moments before mucking his hand.

Lowe Doubles in Classic Race

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Cedric Lowe has shoved all in for a total of 100,000 and the action folded around to Jeffrey Bowden, on the button, who carved out calling chips and placed them over the line. The blinds folded and the players turned their hands.

Cedric Lowe: A8
Jeffrey Bowden: 55

The flop came 494 giving Lowe a heap of outs to find the double and the A turn put him in front.

Bowden now needed one of the remaining fives in the deck to knock out Lowe but the river was the 9 and Lowe lives to fight another day.

Schnitzer is on a Roll

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to Andre Cochran, in middle position, who raised all in for 265,000, only to be reraised by Nicol Schnitzer, who covered. All other players folded and the hands were shown.

Andre Cochran: JJ
Nicol Schnitzer: AA

Cochran was behind and in need of some help but couldn't find the jack he needed as the board ran out 5K746.

Schnitzer has had a great start to the day, more than doubling her stack, which is even more impressive knowing that she was playing the Golden Nugget Tag Team event until 5 a.m., placing second overall, last night.

Bowden Finds Aces Back to Back and Eliminates Pelaez

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Angel Palaez raised all in for a total of 220,000 only for Jeffrey Bowden to reraise all in for 480,000, from the seat to his left. The rest of the table folded and the cards were shown.

Angel Pelaez: 44
Jeffrey Bowden: AA

"Aces back to back!" exclaimed Palaez, referring to the hand prior in which Bowden had shown AA.

The board ran out 53AJK and Bowden's set of aces sent Palaez to the rail.
