Glantz Busted

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Matt Glantz

Matt Glantz put his last 4,000 or so in from the button at the previous level, and Brian Yoon put in a call from the small blind.

Yoon: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Glantz: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Glantz held the lead but it was short-lived as {10-}{7-}{q-} flopped to give Yoon a leading pair. That changed on the turn as Glantz hit two pair when an {a-} fell, but a river {j-} gave Yoon a straight.

Buell Finds a Nice River

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Stephen Buell bet 2,500 against two opponents on a {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, and Terrance Eischens in the cutoff was the only taker. Eischens called another barrel of 3,500 on the {q-Spades} turn, and Buell emptied the clip all in for 9,500 on the {a-Diamonds} river. Eischens thought briefly before splashing in a call, but he couldn't beat Buell's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Sam Panzica also took a seat at the spot vacated by Niall Farrell.

Pleasant Surprise for Yunis

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

A player in early position raised to an unknown amount with a single T1,000 chip, and Terrance Eischens reraised to 2,050 in the hijack. Nick Yunis cold-called in the big blind, and the opener came along to a {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. Everyone checked, and action was the same on the {a-Hearts} turn. Nick Yunis bet 4,000 on the {8-Diamonds} river, and the player under the gun called.

Yunis figured he was beat, but his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} was good against {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Niall Farrell busted out at that same table.
