Tahsildar Busts To Bring About Final Three Tables

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Hassan Tahsildar
Hassan Tahsildar

Dan Mingus opened to 22,000 in the hijack and Hassan Tahsildar re-jammed on the button for around 80,000. Mingus called.

Dan Mingus: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Hassan Tahsildar: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The two players traded each other's outs on the flop {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, with a running {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} changing nothing thereafter to result in Tahsildar bowing out in 28th place.

With 27 players remaining, the tournament clock has been stopped to redraw for new seats. An updated seat draw and list of chip counts will be provided shortly.

One Away from the Redraw

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tyler Potts on Day 1
Tyler Potts on Day 1

Hand #1: Tyler Potts open-jammed in the hijack for his last 35,000 and Jay Teel three-bet on the button, getting folds behind.

Tyler Potts: {k-}{q-}
Jay Teel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

An ace on the flop was more than Potts could overcome and he was eliminated shortly after the bubble burst.

Hand #2: Jorden Helstern opened to 20,000 on the button and Edwin Parker called in the small blind. Chad Stoffel was in the big blind and re-jammed for 35,000 with Helstern coming over the top to force Parker out of the hand.

Jorden Helstern: {k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Chad Stoffel: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Helstern's king was ahead and he pulled further out in front on the flop {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Stoffel found four more outs on the turn {a-Clubs} but the river {k-Spades} gave Helstern trips and eliminated Stoffel from the tournament.

Meanwhile, Tracy Allgeier was also eliminated from an adjacent table, bringing the field down to 28 with just one more elimination needed for the three-table redraw.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dwane Collard
Dwane Collard

Donna Gadd opened to 23,000 in early position and action folded around to Dwane Collard, who defended his big blind. Action checked through the flop {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

The turn came {q-Hearts} and Collard led out for 25,000. Gadd shoved all in and Collard immediately called, showing Gadd the bad news.

Donna Gadd: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Dwane Collard: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"And I'm the bubble," exclaimed Gadd, seeing she was drawing dead. The river fell {6-Diamonds} and the pot was shipped Collard's way, with the floor announcing that hand-for-hand play had completed with the tournament making it into the money.

Helstern Picks off the Bluff

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jorden Helstern
Jorden Helstern

Jay Teel opened on the button and Jorden Helstern defended his big blind. Helstern check-called Teel's continuation-bet of 16,000 on {k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the turn came {7-Spades}. Both players checked.

The dealer burned and turned the river {j-Diamonds} and Helstern bet 12,000. Teel slid in a raise and Helstern gestured for a count that was totaled to be 80,000. He thought for a bit and then found a call.

Teel showed air in {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Helstern tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to take down the pot with top pair.

The turn came {4-Spades} and Teel checked again. Parker bet another 45,000 and Teel called. The river fell {j-Spades} and action checked through to showdown.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ben Keeline
Ben Keeline

Steve Wilkie opened to 17,000 in the hijack and Ben Keeline three-bet to 47,000 in the big blind. Wilkie called and the flop came {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Keeline continuation-bet 30,000 and Wilkie called. Keeline then shoved for around a pot-sized bet on the turn {5-Hearts} and Wilkie called.

Ben Keeline: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Steve Wilkie: {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Keeline's aces were drawing dead as Wilkie had turned the nuts. The river came {5-Clubs} and the pot was shipped Wilkie's way.

"I was open-ended on the flop," said Wilkie as Keeline made his way from the room. Keeline's elimination came in 33rd place, and hand-for-hand play is now in effect with 32 left and the tournament reaching the bubble.

Two More Bust Outs Take Tournament Two from the Money

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sean Maher
Sean Maher

The seats that Stephen Driggers and Sergio Ruiz quickly became vacant after the final four tables of the tournament were reached. Tablemates Jason Vanstrom and Sean Maher filled in the details as to what went down.

Firstly, Driggers open-jammed for around 80,000 with {8-}{8-} and ran it into the {10-}{10-} of Matt Livingston. Driggers spiked an eight on {8-}{k-}{j-} but running {k-}{k-} counterfeited his boat and sent him packing.

On a later hand, Vanstrom opened in the cutoff and received three calls behind from Ruiz on the button, Maher in the small blind, and Al Hart in the big blind.

Action checked to Vanstrom and he continuation-bet on {k-}{q-}{10-} with Ruiz jamming over the top. Maher called and Vanstrom folded {a-}{k-}.

Sergio Ruiz: {k-}{k-}
Sean Maher: {a-}{j-}

Maher's flopped nuts were ahead of Ruiz's top set and the board remained unpaired through the final two cards of the runout.
