Nelson, Schroeder Out

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

Brett Apter raised to 3,300 from the cutoff, then called a three-bet shove for 7,900 from Jeffrey Schroeder in the big blind.

Jeffrey Schroeder: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Brett Apter: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Schroeder could only shake his head as the {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop left him searching for a six to survive, and the {a-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river sealed his fate.

Ian Nelson's seat is also empty at the other table, leaving just ten players in tonight's flight. Play is scheduled to conclude at the end of Level 15 or when five players remain in the tournament, whichever comes first.

Moscati Bricks His Draw

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

Vincent Moscati checked a {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop from middle position, and John Thornton bet 6,500 from the cutoff. Moscati check-raised to 13,000, then called off his last 50,000 total when Thornton jammed.

Vincent Moscati: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
John Thornton: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Moscati's straight and flush draws failed to come in on a {j-Clubs} turn and {7-Clubs} river, and Thornton eliminated Moscati with trip jacks.

Three Way Clash Sends Eberhardt Soaring

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Eberhardt
James Eberhardt

On a {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop, James Eberhardt got his last 30,300 into a pot of 90,000 from middle position, and Jody Dobrinich got his last 57,000 in from the button. Igor Holiday had both players at risk from the small blind.

James Eberhardt: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Jody Dobrinich: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Igor Holdaiy: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Dobrinich had the lead with his set of tens, but was looking to dodge the straight draw of Eberhardt, while Holdaiy had just a single king in the deck to draw to in order to scoop the whole pot. The {5-Spades} turn was safe for Dobrinich, but the {q-Clubs} river made Eberhardt's straight and sent a massive pot his way, while Dobrinich was left with the side pot.

Dobrinich Puts Apter in the Tank

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

James Eberhardt limped in from the cutoff, and Ryan Tepen raised to 10,000 from the button. Brett Apter called in the small blind, and Jody Dobrinich three-bet shoved for 47,400 in the big blind. Eberhardt and Tepen quickly folded, but Apter went into the tank.

After a few minutes, Apter found a fold, and let out a relieved sigh when Dobrinich showed his {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"I had king-queen," Apter told Dobrinich after the hand.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Hand #1:

Michael McKuin raised to 5,500 from the button, and John Thornton called in the big blind.

Thornton checked the {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop to McKuin, who bet 7,000. Thornton folded.

Hand #2:

The very next hand, McKuin raised to 5,500 from the hijack, and Thomas Rennier defended his big blind.

Action checked down to the river of a {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board, where Rennier bet 9,000. McKuin folded.
