Quinn Fills Up

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Patrick Quinn called a bet of 55,000 from Frank Funaro on a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The two players saw the {8-Spades} come on the turn and they both checked it. The river was the [9s[ to pair the board. Quinn, who was in the hijack, led for 90,000. Funaro frowned a bit before calling on the button.

Quinn tabled the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} full house to take down the pot.

Dan Zack had the chance to knockout his shorter stack opponent but would need to come from behind to do so.

At risk player: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Dan Zack: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-}{10-}{6-} to pair the side card of Zack. The turn was the {3-} and the river a {8-} and Zack busted another player to swell his stack larger.

"Pretty pure today Dan" said a tablemate as Zack gathered his chips.

"Not the Worst Call You'll Make Tonight"

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Lanny Vaysman
Lanny Vaysman

Action was picked up on the river with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs}. From middle position Lanny Vaysman bet 125,000 over to Christopher Frank who was in the big blind.

"You look like a Christoph" said Vaysman to Frank, apparently unaware that was very close to Frank's actual first name. Frank called.

"I have a straight" said Vaysman as he casually tossed open the {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}. "That's not the worst call you'll make tonight" he continued to Frank as he collected his chips.

Laskowitz Three-Bet Jams River

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action came in on the river as it read {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. From the big blind, $2,200 Mystery Bounty champion Sam Laskowitz led for 20,000. Leonard Sande was on the button and raised to 160,000.

Laskowitz took his time before three-bet jamming all in which immediately made Sande squirm in discomfort. He took off his headphones and thought it out. Eventually he folded and Laskowitz took the pot.

Tomasz Zakrzewski was forced all in for his final 1,000 from the small blind after having seen two short stacks double on the hand before. He got one caller in Dan Zack. The players waited to table their hands.

Tomasz Zakrzewski: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Dan Zack: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop was bad news for Zakrewski as it came {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river came the {2-Spades} as he became the bubble boy and left as the last player eliminated without money in his pocket.

Williams and Spinella Survive on Tense Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Aubrey Williams
Aubrey Williams

Anthony Spinella's final 12,000 was forced all in from the big blind as he was up against one opponent. While they waited for the all other hands before running the all in, there was more brewing at another table.

All in and call was heard at the table behind as the flop read as Audrey Williams had called the all in lead from Grant Lang to put her remaining 142,000 at risk.
....
Spinella's all in was run first

Anthony Spinella: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The turn hit Spinella much to the dismay of Williams and the two other micro stacks in the room as the {3-Hearts} paired his side card. The river came the {7-Spades} and Spinella breathed a sigh of relief as he survived.
....

It was then time to run the other all in as it was Williams' turn to sweat as she turned over the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} up against the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of Lang on a board of {4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The turn was the {9-Clubs} to make Williams stand up in anger as she initially thought the club made Lang a flush but the river was the {q-Spades} to miss Lang and Williams quickly realized that she had survived.

Meanwhile, Taylor Von Krigenbergh with just 2,000 and Tomasz Zakrzewski who had just 1,000 left after paying the big blind were left sweating for their lives as they saw both all ins result in doubles.
