Busts on Busts on Busts

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Mike McDonald - Eliminated
Mike McDonald - Eliminated

There have been three eliminations on Table 3, including Timothy Adams, Marvin Rettenmaier, and Mike McDonald.

Adams was eliminated by Aaron Lim with unknown action, and Rettenmaier ran ace-king into Ronny Voth's kings.

In McDonald's elimination hand, he and Lim were heads up on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Lim checked, Timex fired 11,800, and Lim check-raised all in. McDonald called with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, which had Lim's {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} crushed.

The {q-Spades} spiked on the turn though, giving Lim a set, and the {j-Hearts} bricked on the river. McDonald was eliminated, while Lim now has 375,000 chips.

Sabharwal Busts Shorty

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

A short-stacked player was all in for 50,000 with {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} before the flop. Gautam Sabharwal called holding {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

The flop saw Sabharwal fall behind when it came {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn was of no help either.

The river, though, brought a miracle for Sabharwal. The {K-Diamonds} struck the felt and Sabharwal let out a yelp of excitement. He was able to reduce the field by one and bring his stack to around 275,000.

Volpe Bests Rettenmaier

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Marvin Rettenmaier and Paul Volpe took a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} together. Rettenmaier checked on over to Volpe who bet 6,200. Rettenmaier stuck around.

Fourth street brought the {5-Hearts} and Rettenmaier decided to take the aggression away from Volpe with a bet of 12,600. Volpe wasted little time calling, however.

The river was the {2-Spades} and both players tapped the table. Volpe rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens. The tens were good and Volpe was able to scoop the pot and bring his stack to around 155,000.

Mitchell Scores a Knockout

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Martin Vallo moved his last roughly 50,000 all in before the flop. Action trickled around the table until it hit James Mitchell who called out of the big blind.

Vallo: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Mitchell: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Mitchell was out in the lead and even further tightened his grip when the flop paired him up with {2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The turn was the {A-Spades} and Vallo was drawing dead to the {5-Clubs} river.

Mitchell now has about 135,000 in chips.

Cates Says Goodbye

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We found a finished board of {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Daniel Cates moving his short stack all in. Jannick Wrang announced a call and showed {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Cates let out a laugh and flashed {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} before mucking his cards. He quickly exited the tournament area. Wrang dragged in the pot and how has about 130,000 in chips.

Sabharwal's Slow Roll

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After doubling up James Mitchell to start the day, Gautam Sabharwal moved all in on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against Scott Seiver.

"Call," Seiver said quickly, turning over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Sabharwal looked at Seiver's hand for a moment, then finally turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped flush.

The turn and river came {6-Diamonds}, {2-Hearts} respectively, and Sabharwal doubled.

Seiver was disgusted at the slow roll, but is still healthy with 255,000 chips.

Three Quick Eliminations

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We have three quick eliminations, including Daniel Reijmer, Steven Silverman, and Bryn Kenney.

Reijmer was eliminated by Todd Terry, and we missed the action, but Terry had {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} on a {10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} board. We didn't see Reijmer's cards, because they were already in the muck.

Silverman was eliminated by Vojtech Ruzicka. Ruzicak held {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Silverman {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, and the board ran out {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

In Bryn Kenney's elimination, AP Phahurat opened for a raise, Kenney three-bet shoved for around 60,000, and Igor Kurganov re-shipped from the blinds. Phahurat folded, and the hands were opened.

Kenney: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Kurganov: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Kenney was eliminated.

Peters Eliminates Heitmann

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We arrived at the table to catch the end of the action, but AP Phahurat and Todd Terry were kind enough to recap the action.

Phahurat opened with a raise and Terry cut out a three-bet. David Peters four-bet from the other end of the table only to have Jan Heitmann five-bet all in. Phahurat and Terry folded and Peters made the call.

Peters: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Heitmann: {Q-}{Q-}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Peters' kings were able to hold, sending Heitmann home early in the day. Peters now has about 248,000.

"I folded ace-king," lamented Terry after the hand.
