Jablonski Gets There On River

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 10,000 in the pot on a flop reading {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Stan Jablonski had checked and action was on Jack Kerr, who bet 8,000. Jablonski raised to 30,000, which was over half his remaining stack. Kerr, who covered, went all in and Jablonski made the call to put his last 56,600 into the pot.

Stan Jablonski: {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Jack Kerr: {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Jablonski was in need of another diamond to complete his flush draw. The turn came {6-Hearts}, but he got there on the river when a diamond fell.

Dellaria Collects Sweat-Free Chips

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Frank Dellaria bet 15,500 on a board of {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} from the button. A player in middle position called and the river was a {3-Hearts}. That prompted Dellaria's opponent to slide his remaining 25,000 or so in, but Dellaria snap-called.

The middle player tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for an airball and Dellaria showed {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the nuts.

Robinson Busts to Aces

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player raised in early position to 3,200 and was called in middle position by Marty Gorenc before Blake Robinson went all in from the cutoff for 36,900. After getting a count, Andy Spears called from the button. The original raiser and Gorenc both folded and it was time to run the cards.

Spears: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Robinson: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board came {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Robinson was eliminated from the tournament.

Robinson Finds All of His Outs

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Blake Robinson
Blake Robinson

Blake Robinson ripped from middle position for 22,300 and action folded to the button where a player put in calling chips. The big blind tanked and folded and had to be happy he did so when the player on the button turned up {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

A disappointed Robinson threw {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} into the middle. However, the window card was a {q-Hearts} followed by {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} meaning Robinson was fading six outs. The {5-Hearts} turn was inconsequential and the cherry on top was Robinson's quadzilla card: {q-Clubs}.

His opponent smiled and knuckled the table.

Love Gets Fold on Turn

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

While the rest of the players were putting chips in racks due to their table breaking, Andy Spears and Jonathan Love were in a blind-versus-blind battle with around 23,000 in the pot when preflop action was finished. The flop came {4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Spears checked from the small blind. Love bet 17,000 and Spears counted out a call and pushed it forward. The turn was a {6-Clubs} and Spears again checked to Love, who bet 60,000. Spears sent his cards to the muck and both players began to rack up their chips to move tables.

Love Coolers Smith

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

We saw Jordan Smith getting up out of his seat at an adjacent table as the pot was being pushed to Jonathan Love on the other side of the table.

Smith had {k-}{k-} in front of him for a moment before it was mucked, while Love's {a-}{a-} was still visible. It was confirmed that all the chips were in the middle preflop, and the clean runout has Love over the 100K mark.

Cipresse Coming Out Firing

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Shortly after returning from dinner break, there was a preflop raise in middle position to 3,100. The small blind called and Jarrod Cipresse defended his big blind to take the action three ways to the {8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. Action checked to the original raiser in middle position, who made a continuation-bet of 4,900. The small blind raised to 12,000, and action was on Cipresse. He surveyed the stacks of both players left in the hand and thought for about 35 seconds before announcing he was all in for what was effectively around 80,000. Both players folded and he took down the pot.
