Beast of Burden Brutalizes Roberts

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts

Brian Roberts moved all in for 104,000 from early position and Tim Burden called from the button. Both blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Roberts: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Burden: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Roberts got it in good but he fell behind on the {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. Neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor {k-Spades} river helped Roberts and he headed to the payout desk.

Bogert Eliminated in 23rd Place

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Cory Bogert
Cory Bogert

After Greg Wood raised to 30,000 from under the gun, Cory Bogert then three-bet shoved for 73,000 from the next seat over.

It folded to Joe Landazzi, who then four-bet shoved.

Action folded back to Wood, who asked for a count, and then folded when the dealer confirmed 660,000 total.

Both players then tabled their hands, and Bogert was ahead in a race for his tournament life.

Bogert: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Landazzi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and unfortunately Bogert lost his race on the river and was eliminated.

Darland: {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Dougherty: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Dougherty's flopped full house bested Darland's trips and held after the {2-Diamonds} turn and the {9-Diamonds} river.

Martinez Makes Mincemeat Out of Hughes

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
John Hughes
John Hughes

John Hughes moved his short stack of 87,000 all in from the hijack and Nikolas Martinez three-bet all in for 127,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and the hands were turned up.

Martinez: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Hughes: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop gave Martinez two pair and all but sealed Hughes' fate. The {2-Clubs} turn left Hughes drawing dead and he headed for the exit after the {6-Hearts} was run out on the river.

Shawn "Reginald" Roberts Falls One Spot Shy of Final Two Tables

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Shawn Roberts
Shawn Roberts

Shawn "Reginald" Roberts, who last month finished runner-up to Nick Pupillo in the HPT Black Hawk, got his last 220,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Josh Shmerl.

Shmerl: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Roberts: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

It was a flip but Roberts needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that was easier said than done as the board ran out {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} to send him out the door in 19th place for $5,168.

Fondy Doubles Through Green

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action folded around to Stephen Green in the cutoff, and he raised to 40,000.

Jim Fondy responded by shoving from his small blind for a total of 103,000, and Green made the call.

The players tabled their hands.

Green: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Fondy: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, which gave the short-stacked Fondy a much-needed double up.
