Ausmus Staying Active Heading Into the Break

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

Former World Series of Poker Main Event fifth-place finisher Jeremy Ausmus has worked his way back up to 275,000 in chips thanks to winning four hands just before the break.

On the first hand, Ausmus check-called 9,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop against Jude Ainsworth. The turn was the {A-Clubs}, and Ausmus checked again. Ainsworth also checked, and the river completed the board with the {K-Spades}. Ausmus led with a bet of 20,000, and Ainsworth called.

Ausmus tabled the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for a runner-runner Broadway straight, and Ainsworth mucked.

On the next hand, Ausmus and Elliot Smith saw the {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop in a blind-versus-blind hand. Ausmus was first from the small blind and bet 4,000. Smith called, and the turn was the {J-Spades}. Ausmus fired 10,000, and Smith folded.

Two hands later, Ausmus three-bet to 22,000 from the cutoff seat after Chris Walker opened with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack seat. Play folded back to Walker, he folded, and Ausmus won the pot.

And then on the final hand before the break, Ausmus and Peter Murphy were in action on the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop after Ausmus raised from the hijack seat preflop and Murphy called from the big blind. Murphy check-called a bet of 9,000 on the flop, and then both players checked the {7-Hearts} turn card.

After the {8-Clubs} fell on the river, Murphy checked, Ausmus bet 25,000, and Murphy gave it up.

Second Break

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Players are now on their second 20-minute break of the day. The field will return close to the money, as the field is just three spots away from bursting the bubble.

Traut Escapes

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Heinz Traut was just all in for 13,500 chips, as he shoved under the gun, and the player in the big blind called.

Traut: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and the queen on the river improved Traut's hand after his opponent flopped a pair of jacks.

"Yes!" Traut yelled, as he kept his chances of making the money alive.

On the very next hand, the last hand before the break, Jason Lavallee raised on Traut's big blind, and the German took a very long time before folding his cards.

"Just think about all the things you can buy with €8,800," Lavallee jokingly said.

As Traut remained silent, Lavallee continued, "I'm not sure about you, but to me €8,800 is a lot of money."

Eventually Traut folded, and Lavallee showed, {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

"You know I would've at least made a straight," Lavallee said, as all the players went on a break.

Hiatullah Short on the Bubble

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Pierre Chevalier moved all in from early position and two positions down it was Sabina Hiatullah moving in as well. All other players folded and with the cameras buzzing, it was time for the showdown.

Pierre Chevalier: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Sabina Hiatullah: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The flop came {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, giving Hiatullah a glimmer of hope. The {6-Hearts} on the turn was a blank and so was the {10-Hearts} on the river. Hiatullah now short with 251 players remaining, 247 get paid.

Lucian Over Virtanen

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Boghean Andrei Lucian raised to 9,500 from middle position and it folded around to Aki Virtanen in the cutoff who three-bet to 22,000. The button and blinds folded, putting action back on Lucian. He called to see a flop.

The dealer fanned {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} on the felt and both players checked to see the {8-Hearts} fall on fourth street. Lucian moved 36,500 into the middle and Virtanen opted to stay the course.

The river was the {7-Spades} and Lucian thought for a moment before betting 70,500. Virtanen let his hand go and Lucian was awarded the pot.

Pecheux Brings us Closer to the Money

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The action folded to Erwann Pecheux in the small blind and he shoved, putting Evgeny Taranyuk under pressure. Taranyuk had about 80,000 chips left, and he decided to risk them all.

Pecheux: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Taranyuk: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Pecheux knocked out the short stack by hitting a king on the river. We're now just a few eliminations away from the bubble, and play will slow down at this point.
