Geyer Crosses 300,000

Action was on Adam Geyer in the cutoff, having seen Mike Trelski and Vanessa Rousso call before him. Geyer made it 9,000 to play and only Trelski came along to see the {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Trelski checked to Geyer who bet 15,000. After about a minute Trelski raised to 43,000, only to see Geyer shove with the bigger stack. With about 30,000 behind, Trelski called all in with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and needed help against Geyer's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The {9-Clubs} turn gave Trelski a few more outs, but the river {9-Hearts} sealed the deal, ending his tournament.

Lee Can Beat the Board

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Bernard Lee on Day 1
Bernard Lee on Day 1

From the cutoff seat, Bernard Lee opened with a raise, and he was three-bet by an opponent in the big blind. Lee flatted, and off they went to the flop.

It came {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, and the big blind led out with 21,000 -- about a pot-sized bet. Lee didn't waste much time calling, and the {10-Hearts} landed on the turn. That cued a check from the big blind, and Lee checked it right back to see the {5-Diamonds} complete the board. The big blind spent a long time studying, and Lee broke down his stack to show the ~80,700 he had behind. It was another few minutes before the big blind slowly checked, and Lee checked as well.

The big blind shrugged and mumbled something about 'playing the board', and Lee tabled {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} to take the pot. He's back up to about 145,000 now.

Rousso Falls to Overton

Vanessa Rousso - Eliminated
Vanessa Rousso - Eliminated

We picked up the action on a {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board with about 40,000 in the pot.

Both Aaron Overton and Vanessa Rousso checked the turn and when the {7-Spades} hit the river, Overton bet 37,700. Rousso re-raised all in for about 90,000, but was snap-called by Overton who tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Rousso couldn't beat and is eliminated.

Geyer Five-Bet Shoves

Adam Geyer
Adam Geyer

Nick Binger raised to 6,000 from early position and was called by Aaron Overton on the button. Adam Geyer, in the small blind, three-bet to 21,200. Binger took about 90 seconds before four-betting to 45,500.

Overton immediately folded and action was back on Geyer. He tanked for about two minutes before he made the all-in motion with his hand.

"Wow," said a surprised Binger. After about two minutes, Binger gave it up and surrendered the pot to Geyer.

Schroer Ships a Double

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Jonathan Schroer
Jonathan Schroer

Jonathan Schroer got himself all in against Joe Gibbons before the flop, Schroer with the worst of it. Gibbons tabled the {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, and the animated Schroer stood up and admitted, "I'm in real trouble here," as he pump-faked and then dropped his {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} down onto the felt.

The {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} flop was a good start for Schroer's bid for a come-from-behind double up, and the {A-Hearts} was a very pretty card. Now it was Gibbons needing to find a ten or a seven to come from behind himself, but the river {K-Hearts} was a blank.

The teacher from North Carolina, Schroer has doubled up, but he's still got some work to do with just over 60,000 chips now.

Von Kriegenbergh KOs a Shorty

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante

In early position, James Carroll opened to 5,500, and Taylor von Kriegenbergh (who has been wearing his backpack on his shoulders all day, as if he's planning on running out the door at any moment) made the call a couple seats over. The action passed to the player in Seat 1, and he moved all in for 49,000, quickly folding Carroll. Just as quickly, though, von Kriegenbergh announced the call, turning up the sneaky {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. The at-risk player shook his head as he tabled {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, and the {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} sends him to the door.

Von Kriegenbergh has moved up to about 190,000.
