"Basically, I Got Slow Rolled"

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Blake Bohn opened to 2,500 from middle position and action folded around to Vic Peppe, who defended his big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn was {k-Clubs} and Peppe led out for 2,000. Bohn clicked it back, putting out a minimum raise to 4,000. Peppe called and the river fell {10-Diamonds}.

"You're thinking about it," said Bohn, looking over to Peppe and commenting on perceiving he had a desire to bet as Peppe checked. He was unsure what Bohn said and asked for confirmation in a manner that did led one to believe his answer would have been no.

"I was thinking about it," said Peppe.

Bohn commented back, believing that now Peppe was fibbing about actually considering a bet before throwing out a bet of 10,000 himself. Peppe confirmed he wasn't lying, immediately tossing in chips to call.

Bohn tabled {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trip kings. Peppe showed {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a full house, kings full of tens. Bohn congratulated Peppe on a nice hand as the pot was sent his way, though the discussion did not end. Peppe eventually commented about how poorly he believed he played the hand: "I should have been raising that shit the whole way," he said.

"No you didn't. You played it perfectly," said Bohn in sarcastic fashion about having lost so few chips with trips. "I was basically slow rolled."

Vang Wins a Flip To Double

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kou Vang
Kou Vang

Kou Vang shoved his last 10,500 in from middle position and was called by Cody Espeseth, who was in the hijack. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.

Kou Vang: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Cody Espeseth: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Vang smashed the flop {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, giving him top two pair and putting him firmly out in front for a pending double. The turn {8-Hearts} and river {7-Spades} completed the runout with his kings up remaining best to secure the double at Espeseth's expense.

Marvin and Sandness Hit the Felt

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was at least 16,000 in the middle on a board of {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} as William Marvin got his stack in from the cutoff against Mark Bloomberg, who was in early position.

William Marvin: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Mark Bloomberg: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Marvin's pair of sixes was in need of improvement against Bloomberg's pair of tens with one card to come. The river dropped {9-Clubs} to leave the situation unchanged and the pot was sent to Bloomberg as Marvin got up to leave the tournament area.

Moments later, Mark Sandness was seen getting up from his seat as he was eliminated by Blake Bohn. Sandness had ace-king and Bohn had queen-six, with Bohn's hand ending up best when all was said and done. With the pot, Bohn appears to be the first player in the tournament to hit a six-figure stack size as the number of players remaining has dropped to 14.

Stevermer Cold Four-Bets All In

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Dennis Stevermer
Dennis Stevermer

Jon Hanner was under the gun and opened the action with a raise to 1,800. He was three-bet to 4,500 by Daniel Schmidtknecht, who was in early position on Hanner's left. Dennis Stevermer was next to act in middle position and four-bet shoved all in. Action folded back to Hanner, who folded.

Schmidtknecht then found action on him and asked for a count, which was totaled to be 29,100. He went into the tank for over two minutes while Stevermer sat still, staring into the distance. Eventually, he let his hand go and the dealer set the deck down onto the felt to ship Stevermer the pot.

Meanwhile, Jared Koppel was eliminated from the tournament on the adjacent table after finding himself short due to doubling up Ian Matakis. He has since reentered and been seated in the same seat he formerly occupied to get back in on the action as the number of entries has climbed to 26.

Matakis' Turn To Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was around 25,000 in the pot on a board of {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades} and action was on Jared Koppel, who was in early position and facing an all-in bet from Ian Matakis out of the hijack. The bet was cut out onto the felt and totaled exactly 20,000, and Koppel threw in chips to call after close to a minute in the tank.

Matakis tabled {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a set of deuces and Koppel immediately sent his cards to the muck. Despite the all-in situation, Koppel's cards were not shown as the dealer scooped them in with the rest of the deck and shipped the pot to Matakis.

Espeseth Doubles Through Beasy

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Action was folded to Cody Espeseth, who was in the small blind and raised to 2,800. Joseph Beasy was in the big blind and defended to bring a flop of {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Espeseth made a continuation-bet of 3,800 and Beasy called.. The turn came {8-Hearts} and Espeseth checked. Beasy immediately leaned forward and looked over to his right at Espeseth's stack, which was only partly visible due to his arms. He saw enough of what he looked for and put out a bet of 10,000. Espeseth called.

The river came {6-Clubs} and Espeseth checked again. Beasy bet 20,000 and Espeseth tossed in a chip to call.

Beasy tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a missed Broadway draw and Espeseth showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for kings up with an ace kicker, good to earn him the pot. Espeseth's stack was then counted and totaled to be 15,600, resulting in Beasy getting a rebate of 4,400 as Espeseth raked in his newly-acquired chips after getting a full double.

Sandness Sends Matakis To the Rebuy Desk

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ian Matakis
Ian Matakis

Ian Matakis was in the hijack and ripped in his last 7,600. Action folded around to Mark Sandness, who went all in over the top from the small blind to clear the way for the runout.

Ian Matakis: {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Mark Sandness: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Matakis was in trouble to begin and things only got worse as he was drawing dead by the turn on the runout {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, leaving him to turn over his cards in self-mucking fashion as he made his way from the tournament area. However, he was seen back in action just moments later as he bought back in to bring the total number of players in the field up to 25.
