Jason Paff Eliminated in 13th Place ($4,735)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Griffin Abel opened and then called the shove of big blind Jason Paff, who looked to have around 150,000.

Griffin Abel: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Jason Paff: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Unlike opponent a bit ago, Paff couldn't find a three-outer as it ran out {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} to give Abel a straight.

Dan Wagner
Dan Wagner

Action folded to Dan Wagner on the cutoff, who opened to 50,000. Griffin Abel called on the button, as did George Stathers in the big blind. The flop was {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and action was checked to Abel, who bet 75,000. Stathers folded, and Wagner made the call. The turn came {4-Clubs} and action was checked through to the {9-Spades} river. Wagner bet 110,000 and Abel deliberated for about two minutes before making the call.

Wagner tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top set, and Abel sent his hand into the muck.

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Andy Spears
Andy Spears

Andy Spears opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Marcus Gaunt defended big blind. Gaunt check-called 50,000 on {4-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and the {q-Clubs} arrived. Gaunt checked and Spears bet 125,000. Gaunt thought awhile and announced all in. Spears snap-called.

"You are ahead, sir," Gaunt said, tabling {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

He was correct as Spears held {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair. The {j-Clubs} river was a brick and Gaunt sent over 415,000.

Becker Cold Four-Bet Shoves

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was folded preflop to Dan Wagner on the button, who raised to 40,000. Griffin Abel wasted no time putting in a three-bet from the small blind to 80,000, and Kelly Becker followed suit with a four-bet all in for about 320,000. Wagner folded and Abel deliberated before letting his cards go.

Becker showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} as she took in the pot, asking the table to confirm if that was what she was supposed to do with that hand.

McIe Doubles Through Paff

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Griffin Abel opened for 50,000 under the gun, Anthony McIe raised all in from the button for 193,000 and Jason Paff shipped for a bit more. Abel got out of the way.

Anthony McIe: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Jason Paff: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} board brought a three-outer for McIe and Abel rued what he said was a fold of pocket nines.

Abel Tops McIe

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Anthony McIe and Griffin Abel just played three hands in a row. The first two saw McIe open from the cutoff and hijack, respectively, with Abel defending his big and small blind, respectively as well. Both hands saw McIe take down small pots postflop.

On hand number three, McIe again opened from middle position to 50,000. Abel put in a three-bet to 80,000 and McIe made the call. The flop came {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs} and McIe checked to Abel, who bet 70,000. McIe made the call, leading the players to the {j-Hearts} turn. McIe checked, and Abel checked behind. The river brought the {3-Spades} and McIe checked a third time. Abel fired in a bet of 263,000 and was quickly called.

Joyously, Abel turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for turned quads and McIe's hand went into the muck.

Dan Wagner opened to 45,000, George Stathers made it 126,000 on the button and Jack Kerr jammed his 149,000 in from the small blind. Stathers called and tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} once again, with Kerr holding two unders: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The hand was decided by the turn as {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} rolled off the deck.

Abel Folds Kings Preflop

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was joined with Griffin Abel having put a three-bet in the pot for 90,000. It was folded to George Stathers in the big blind, who made a four-bet to 350,000, which was about half his stack. Abel thought for awhile, asked how much he had behind, and then thought for awhile longer. Eventually, he folded {k-}{k-} face up and Stathers raked in the pot.
