Petrangelo Gets Shorter

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Sean Winter opened the action with a raise and Nick Petrangelo flat-called on the button. On the flop {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Winter continued for 19,000 and Petrangelo called before giving up to the second barrel on the {3-Clubs} turn. Almost 50 minutes have been played in the new level and there is no end in sight for now, the money bubble is still alive and kicking.

No Fear; Level Extended

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Vladimir Dobrovolskiy and [Removed:17] get about 300,000 in the middle after a Dobrovolskiy check raise on the {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

Dobrovolskiy then checks the {k-Spades} turn and Yan jumps at the opportunity to bet, making it 105,000. Dobrovolskiy calls and the river is the {10-Spades}, bringing a fourth spade.

Both players check and Yan shows the {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Dobrovolskiy has the {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Yan wins a rather big pot on the bubble with his gutshot turning into a flush.

With that hand, the level came to a close, but the tournament staff have decided to stop the clock and continue with the current blind level until the bubble breaks.

Yan Takes from Kenney

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

[Removed:17] opened to 20,000 from the button and Bryn Kenney three-bet to 52,000 from one seat over. Yan called and they saw the flop of {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, which both players checked. On the {4-Diamonds} turn, Kenney bet 71,000 and was called before both again checked through the {7-Hearts} on the river.

Kenney was first to show but his cards were not visible, Yan revealed the {10-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a pair of tens and that was good enough to win another decent pot on the bubble.

Packer Losing Some

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Leslie Packer had chipped up slowly but surely on the bubble, but all that profit just vanished. He raised from early position and Mikita Badziakouski just called from one seat over. On the {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop both players checked. On the {5-Clubs} turn, Packer check-called a bet worth 35,000 and then checked again the {7-Hearts} river.

Badziakouski now bet 60,000 and Packer called after long consideration, then mucked when he was shown the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} by Badziakouski.

Playing For Pots

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 19,000 and Ezequiel Kleinman called in the big blind to check the flop {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Badziakouski continied for 18,000 and was called before Kleinman also checked the {10-Diamonds} turn. Badziakouski fired 35,000 and was called, the {4-Hearts} then completed the board.

Both players checked and Kleinman showed {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Badziakouski won the pot with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

One hand later, Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 18,000 and Kleinman three-bet to 62,000 in the small blind. Troyanovskiy called and they checked down the flop {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and the {A-Clubs} turn. On the {K-Spades} river, Kleinman bet 100,000 and Troyanovskiy folded.

Packer Has to Fold Twice

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ezequiel Kleinman shoved the river of a 150,000 pot with a board of {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} from the cutoff and Leslie Packer was forced to fold due to the even shorter stacks on the other tables.

Soon after he opened to 20,000 and Vladimir Troyanovskiy squeezed to more than 80,000 to almost put his opponent all in. Again Packer folded, showed the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and was greeted by Toryanovskiy with the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Brian Roberts moved all in for his last 6,000 chips from early position and Sean Winter in the small blind as well as Roberto Romanello in the big blind stayed in the hand. On the flop {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Romanello bet 20,000 to isolate and they waited for the other hands to finish before proceeding with the showdown.

Romanello: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Roberts: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} turn gave Roberts four more outs, but the {2-Spades} river was a blank to let the bubble burst eventually after what appears to have been two hours in total.
