Landazzi Shows His Hand

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Helen Denton raised from under the gun to 22,000, and action folded around to Joe Landazzi in the small blind, who put out a stack of 5,000 chips.

Andy Echele then asked how much Landazzi's three-bet was, and after the dealer counted and confirmed a total of 79,000, Echele made the call and Denton folded.

After both players checked the {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop, Landazzi shoved the {5-Clubs} turn.

Echele then asked, "Did you hit a set of fives or are you slow-playing aces?"

Landazzi remained silent, and Echele tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} face up.

Landazzi returned the favor by showing his {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}.

Burden Sends Sladek to the Rail

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A short-stacked Todd Sladek moved all in for 39,000 under the gun and Tim Burden called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was off to the races.

Burden: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Sladek: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

It was a race and Sladek was just looking to hold to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} flop paired Burden. Neither the {5-Spades} turn nor {7-Diamonds} river helped Sladek and he headed for the payout desk in 34th place to collect $4,199.

Sturges Eliminated in 31st Place

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mary Sturges
Mary Sturges

The UTG-player raised to 25,000, and action folded around to the player in the cutoff, who made the call.

Kou Vang re-raised it to 115,000 and Mary Sturges then four-bet shoved all in for less.

The UTG-player and cutoff-player both folded and Vang made the call.

Vang: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Sturges: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop was great for Sturges, but her joy was short-lived because the {q-Spades} was the turn card, which continued Vang's red-hot run so far on Day 2.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board, and Sturges was eliminated in 31st place.
