Rudolph Binks a River Double

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Koon vs Rudolph
Koon vs Rudolph

Christian Rudolph made it 35,200 to go and Jason Koon simply moved all-in from the small blind with the covering stack, which Rudolph called.

Christian Rudolph: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Jason Koon: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Koon improved on the {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop while Rudolph picked up some counterfeit outs on the {6-Clubs} turn. Sure enough, exactly that's what happened when the {a-Spades} fell on the river to keep Rudolph in contention.

Plausinaitis Eliminated by Gottlieb

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Gottlieb vs Plausinaitis
Gottlieb vs Plausinaitis

Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb called the min-raise by Paulius Plausinaitis from under the gun and they headed to the {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. Plausinaitis check-called for 52,000 and did so again for 104,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn. He had 252,978 behind and checked the {k-Clubs} on the river.

Gottlieb pulled the trigger with the superior stack and Plausinaitis eventually called with {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. It was no good, as Gottlieb had made kings full of tens with the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Smith Chips Up Against Wolff

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

George Wolff raised to 24,000 and called a three-bet to 62,400 by Dan Smith in the cutoff.

On the {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, Wolff check-called for 35,000 and did so again for 54,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn. The {9-Clubs} river was checked and Wolff's {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a missed open ender was no good, as Smith had the {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Zhang Busts Petrangelo

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Only 41 players remain as another three contenders bowed out in very quick succession.

Among them was also Nick Petrangelo, who sent his chips over to Michael Zhang.

Nick Petrangelo: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michael Zhang: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} board further improved Zhang to jacks full.
