Matt Clerk
Matt Clerk

Matt Clerk limped in from under the gun, and Jay Friedman raised to 22,000 next to act. Stephen Green three-bet shoved for 121,000 in middle position, and Clerk called. Friedman tanked for a minute before folding.

Stephen Green: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Matt Clerk: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Green couldn't find a ten on a {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs} board, and was left heading to the payout desk.

Khomutetsky and Davis both paired their kickers on a {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board, but it was Khomutetsky's queens that earned a double.

Mike Thompson raised to 14,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Will Berry on the button and Vincent Moscati in the big blind.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Austin Tjaden raised to 17,000 from the cutoff, and Ryan Tepen three-bet to 45,000 from the button. Joseph DeRousse four-bet jammed for 68,000 in the small blind, Tjaden five-bet shoved, and Tepen preserved his remaining 140,000 and folded.

Joseph DeRousse: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Austin Tjaden: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Former Champ Byrnes Fades the World

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bill Byrnes got his last 180,000 in chips preflop from the cutoff and was at risk against BJ McBrayer on the button.

Bill Byrnes: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
BJ McBrayer: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

McBrayer flopped a flush draw on the {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, and picked up a few more outs when the {10-Hearts} turn gave him a nine for an additional winner. The {7-Hearts} river bricked off, and Byrnes, who won this very event in March during Season XV, breathed a sigh of relief as he stacked up his newfound chips.

Tjaden Coolers Coliny Again

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Justin Coliny bet 75,000 on a {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop into a pot of 100,000, and Austin Tjaden jammed for 236,000 from middle position. Coliny tanked for a few minutes before announcing a call.

Austin Tjaden: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Justin Coliny: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"What I was afraid of," Coliny told Tjaden.

No queen would come on the {j-Diamonds} turn or {8-Diamonds} river, and Coliny said, "Twice you got me, bub!" as he paid off his debt.
