Bursavich Busts Schulman

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

Nick Schulman moved all-in with his remaining stack of around 26,000 and Austin Bursavich re-shoved as one of the tournament chip leaders to get the hand heads-up.

Nick Schulman: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Austin Bursavich: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Schulman needed an ace or a king to stay alive and he couldn't hit as the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} to mark his elimination.

Leonard Still on Top

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daniels Doesn't Punt

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

Jake Daniels got to the river in a heads-up pot on a board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Daniels bet 15,000 on the river and his opponent initiated some table talk, noting that Daniels had mentioned that he is sometimes prone to "punt."

"Sometimes I punt, but I told myself I wouldn't punt. So, therefore, I will not," Daniels explained to imply that he had it this time.

The opponent folded {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} face-up and asked Daniels if he would show. Daniels allowed him to look at one card, and after doing so the opponent decided he had made the right move.

"Good f***ing fold!" the oppponent told himself.

Rabichow Eliminated

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kevin Rabichow was eliminated in a preflop confrontation where he moved in with pocket tens and ran into the pocket queens of his opponent. Rabichow couldn't improve and was eliminated from the tournament.

Wiegmann Takes From Geilich

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich opened from early position and was called by a player in middle position, the button, the small blind and Cody Wiegmann in the big blind.

Geilich continued for 4,500 on the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and only Weigmann called.

The {8-Spades} turn checked through to the {10-Diamonds} river and Wiegmann bet 3,800. Geilich wasted little time calling but mucked after Wiegmann rolled over his {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a flopped two pair.

Geilich Continuing Ascent

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Ludovic Gielich was just seen raking in a 22,000 pot. The board read {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and the player in middle position checked. Geilich bet 17,500 and won the pot after his opponent quickly folded.

Shashikhina Gets Value

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The button raised to 2,600 and Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina flat-called out of the small blind to get the hand heads-up.

Shashikhina checked on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and the button checked back. Shashikhina checked again on the {k-Clubs} turn and her opponent checked back.

Shashikhina led out for 6,500 on the {5-Hearts} and her opponent shuffled his chips before calling. Shashikhina showed {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to win the pot with a pair of aces, beating out the {k-}{j-} of the button.

Berkey Flops Flush

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Berkey
Matt Berkey

Anatoly Filatov opened to 2,300 from middle position and was only called by Matt Berkey from the big blind.

The {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop checked through to the {j-Diamonds} turn. Berkey bet 4,000 and was called.

The {j-Spades} checked through and Berkey let out a little sigh before tabling his {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flopped flush.

Filatov exposed that he had the {a-Clubs} before he mucked.
