Schmidt Runs Out Of Luck

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ian Schmidt
Ian Schmidt

Action folded around to Ross Ward in the hijack for 265,000 and Ian Schmidt called all in for around 200,000 in the cutoff. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.

Ian Schmidt: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Ross Ward: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Schmidt was in trouble as soon as the flop {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} was spread, and he was unable to find a set on both the turn {4-Hearts} and river {6-Hearts} to finish the tournament in 22nd place.

Klein Gets The Runout He Needs

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

An all in and call were overheard as Jeff Klein had re-shoved for just under a quarter-million in the big blind. Ian Schmidt had opened on the button and quickly called.

Jeff Klein: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Ian Schmidt: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Klein was in trouble, needing a jack to stay alive. One came on the flop {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to put him way out in front. The turn {j-Clubs} gave him trips, leaving Schmidt drawing dead to the river {3-Clubs} to earn his double.

The bicentennial mark was nearly reached in Wednesday's Event #3: $360 NLH With $100 Bounties, as 196 entries generated a total prize pool of $40,180. When all was said and done, Patrick Michael and Andrew Dykeman agreed to a heads-up chop with Michael taking the top prize of $9,003 and Dykeman earning $7,886.

A trio of Jacksonville residents in Louis De Pasquale, Andrew Simmonds, and Trammell Evans took the next three places, with Lee Pohle, Shane Scorza, and Russell Dugger also making it to the final table. All eight earned at least a four-figure payday for their efforts.

In total, 25 places were paid for the event, with Michael Smith Jr. being the first to make it past the bubble to earn $301 before payouts jumped to $372 and increased every three places until the final table of nine was reached.

Stewart Knocks Out Tran To Reach Final Three Tables

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Scott Stewart
Scott Stewart

Chuck Tabor opened to 40,000 in middle position and Scott Stewart called in the hijack. Tommy Tran three-bet shoved for 400,000 on the button and Tabor thought for a while before folding. A second later, Stewart called and Tabor showed that he folded {a-}{q-} for a quick second.

Tommy Tran: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Scott Stewart: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

"I'll take a chop," offered Stewart after the flop {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, but it was not in the cards for Tran as the turn {q-Diamonds} and river {7-Spades} completed the runout to result in him taking 25th place.

With 24 players remaining, the tournament clock has been paused for the full three-table redraw. There will be a short break in the meantime while staff cleans and sanitizes the three tables in play. An updated list of chip counts and seat assignments will be posted shortly.
