Montes Gets There

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jose Montes shoved over a raise with {a-}{q-} only to have a short-stacked player behind him wake up with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Luckily for Montes, he hit trip aces and busted his opponent, collecting his 170,000 or so plus the dead money in the pot.

Montes has about 800,000 now.

Tarbuck Ships on Montes

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On a board of {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}, Jose Montes bet 86,000 from the big blind and got a call from Scott Tarbuck in the cutoff. Montes checked and folded quickly to a bet from Tarbuck on the {2-Spades} river, which looked like it may have bee an all-in wager.

Tarbuck is among the leaders as players head to a 60-minute dinner break.

Steiner Busts One

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

A player in the small blind shipped all in for about 260,000, and Joshua Steiner woke up with {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and called him. The small blind had {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} but his live cards looked a lot worse after a {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. The {j-Clubs} turn left Steiner fading only eights, and the river was a {5-Diamonds}.

Steiner Busts Two

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Joshua Steiner
Joshua Steiner

We found Joshua Steiner in the small blind, calling the all-in shove of a player with 230,000 on the button. A player under the gun who initially raised to 60,000 then jammed for 1 million total. After getting the count and thinking for a bit, Steiner pushed in the calling chips.

Steiner: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Button: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Early position: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop improved nobody, but an {a-Hearts} turn gave Steiner a hammerlock on things. The {5-Diamonds} river was a blank.
