Breaking Even

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Jason Zausner just went from short stack to breaking even in the blink of an eye.

When we arrived at the table, three players were already all in, including Zausner who had both of the players barely covered, and Ian O'Leary was in the tank. O'Leary commands one of the larger stacks in the room with a quarter of a million, but he decided not to gamble, folding {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

Zausner: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Zausner's hand held up as the board came {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and he earned two bounty chips to give him a total of five. Ironically enough, if O'Leary wanted to gamble a bit, he would've won the whole kit-n-kaboodle.

Ostrander Doubles

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Greg Ostrander was all in and in trouble with {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} against an opponent's {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, but picked a few extra outs on a flop of {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The {j-Clubs} on the turn was a brick, leaving Ostrander was just six outs, and the {5-Spades} on the river was one of them.

Ostrander's set of fives doubled him to 95,000, and kept him in contention for now.

Shiva the Bounty Hunter

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Shiva Ramnath
Shiva Ramnath

Shiva Ramnath is knocking people out left and right. He's already collected ten $100 bounties. Even if he doesn't make the money, he's going to turn a profit. Odds are he'll add to that $1,000, however, as he is the clear chip leader at this point with 315,000 in chips.
