Altman Doubles Through Serda, Takes the Lead

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Patrick Serda opened to 175,000 from under the gun, Brian Altman three-bet to 525,000 on the button and Serda called. A {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop rolled out and action checked to Altman, he bet 800,000 and Serda check-raised all in, Altman called for his 5,015,000 stack.

Brian Altman: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Patrick Serda: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs} landed on the river and Serda needed help to pull in the pot. A {j-Hearts} river was not what the Canadian was in search of as Altman took down the hand, scooping in the pot with his set of jacks to take the lead of the tournament.

Anderson Shoves the Flop, Weng Obliges

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

James Anderson opened to 175,000 from the hijack, Bin Weng three-bet to 535,000 in the small blind and Anderson called to see the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

Weng continued for 380,000 and Anderson tank-shoved, covering Weng who snap-called for his 1,910,000 stack and was at risk of elimination.

Bin Weng: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
James Anderson: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades} landed on the turn, leaving Anderson with just a jack to split the pot. A {k-Spades} river did not alter the lead as Weng pulled in the pot for a complete double through Anderson.

Serda Catapults Over Altman

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Patrick Serda
Patrick Serda

Patrick Serda opened to 175,000 from the button and Brian Altman three-bet to 800,000 in the big blind. Serda four-bet shoved, totaling 3,740,000 and Altman snap-called, putting Serda at risk.

Patrick Serda: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Brian Altman: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop was clean for Altman when the dealer spread {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} out and Serda was in need of some paint. A fortuitous {q-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn, pairing up the Canadian who then took the lead with his queens.

The {j-Diamonds} river cemented the pot for Serda, doubling through Altman shortly after dinner break.

Brandon Hall
Brandon Hall

Patrick Serda opened to 175,000 from the hijack, Brandon Hall three-bet to 330,000 in the cutoff and James Anderson four-bet to 925,000 on the button. Serda folded and Hall called his 335,000 stack into the middle.

Brandon Hall: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
James Anderson: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The dealer fanned out {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} on the flop and both players flopped draws. A {2-Clubs} turn left Hall in need of a card to survive but the {6-Clubs} river was not it, sending the pot to Anderson and Hall took an exit.
