Itoafa Puts Coleman To the Test

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mike Itoafa
Mike Itoafa

There was around 22,000 in the pot on a flop of {5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Mike Itoafa checked in the small blind to Patrick Coleman, who put out a bet of 8,500 from the button. Itoafa check-raised all in, effectively putting Coleman to a decision for his remaining chips. Coleman went into the tank for a bit.

"I faded the snap call!" Itoafa exclaimed with a smile. Coleman gave him a confused look and Itoafa repeated himself. Eventually, Coleman decided to wait for a better time, releasing his cards to the muck.

"I win one-hundred percent of the time you fold," Itoafa jokingly added as he raked in the pot.

Peck Eliminated by Dea

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Austin Peck
Austin Peck

The field has been reduced to 54 and Andrew Dea was on the first table to break. As he was racking up his chips, he provided a recap of a recently-played hand that proved to be Austin Peck's last of the tournament.

Robert Stocklmeier limped in from early position and action folded around to Austin Peck in the small blind, who completed. Andrea Dea checked his option and the flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Peck went all in for 27,000 and both Dea and Stocklmeier called.

With Peck having an opportunity at a triple, Dea and Stocklmeier were now proceeding with any future action going into a side pot. The turn came {4-Diamonds} and Dea went all in for his last 32,000. Stocklmeier called.

Austin Peck: {10-}{7-}
Andrea Dea: {10-}{9-}
Robert Stocklmeier: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Dea now found himself in prime position to earn more than a double with his nines up. He had one card left to fade Peck's straight draw and Stocklmeier's nut flush draw. The river fell clean, coming {8-Diamonds} to win both pots and send Peck home during the first level of the day.

Konarske Sends Meyer Home

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

Adrian Buckley opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Mike Meyer three-bet all in for his last 24,500 from the button. Eddie Konarske shoved over the top from the big blind and Buckley reluctantly asked for a count. Konarske's stack was totaled to be 70,000 and Buckley thought for a bit before folding.

Eddie Konarske: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Mike Meyer: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"That's not good," said Meyer as he saw Konarske's kings. "Nice hand," he added.

The dealer fanned a flop of {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, keeping Konarske firmly in front. The turn came {j-Clubs} to bring Meyer two more outs at a double, but he was unable to get there as the river fell {2-Spades} and he was sent to the rail.

Andrew Peragallo
Andrew Peragallo

Andrew Peragallo was seen running to his seat as cards were in the air. Several minutes later, the pile of chips that was in front of him was neatly stacked for a total greater than what was in front of him when he sat down. According to him and tablemate Ben Keeline, Peragallo arrived at his seat with about three cards left to be dealt. He was under the gun and play was halted for the dealer to confirm he was in the correct seat.

Peragallo raised to 7,000 and received a call from Stephen Zipprich in middle position. The two went heads up to a flop of {a-}{10-}{5-} and both players checked.

The turn came {3-} and Peragallo bet 10,000. Zipprich raised to 30,000 and Peragallo put him all in. Zipprich called.

Stephen Zipprich: {10-}{10-}
Andrew Peragallo: {a-}{a-}

Zipprich was elated to get his set of tens in until he found out that he was up against Peragallo's set of aces. He had one card left in the deck to help him and one chance at it. The river came {2-} and he was eliminated from the tournament.
