"whatever" Doubles Before Break

"whatever"
"whatever"

In Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,000 and an ante of 3,500, a five-way limped pot brought about a flop of {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}, with action checking around to "whatever," who was on the button. There was 157,500 in the middle and "whatever" made a pot-sized bet, prompting three folds to put action onto "Barrettwins," who was the last line of defense in the cutoff.

"Barrettwins" check-jammed for 461,000 effectively and "whatever" called all in.

"whatever": {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
"Barrettwins": {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

"whatever" needed to fade the remaining spades and aces in the deck to stay alive, and the turn {k-Diamonds} added two tens to the tally. It all proved to be for show, however, as the river {3-Diamonds} fell safely to give "whatever" the double.

Five players still remain as the tournament has reached a five-minute break. Here's an updated look at the chip counts.

In Level 24 with blinds of 12,000/24,000 and an ante of 3,000, "whatever" raised to 48,000 under the gun and received calls from both "Barrettwins" in the small blind and "Anonymous5413," who defended their big blind.

The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and "Barrettwins" checked. "Anonymous5413" bet 72,000 and "whatever" folded. "Barrettwins" then called, bringing the turn {5-Hearts}.

"Barrettwins" check-called another bet of 96,000 from "Anonymous5413" and the river came {3-Diamonds}, where "Barrettwins" checked once more.

"Anonymous5413" fired out a bet of 249,000, leaving just 5,859 behind. "Barrettwins" clicked the raise button and "Anonymous5413" folded.

In Level 22 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, all of the chips got in the middle on the turn with a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}, as "fnasty97" was under the gun and check-shoved over a bet from "RGAx732x," who was on the button and called to bring about a pot of nearly 750,000.

"fnasty97": {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"RGAx732x": {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"kodikeasler1"
"kodikeasler1"

In Level 21 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, there was 50,750 in the middle with three-way action between "high-card" in the small blind, "kodikeasler1" in the big blind, and "Anonymous5413" in the cutoff.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and "high-card" had made a pot-sized bet. "kodikeasler1" raised to 126,000 and "Anonymous5413" three-bet to 285,000. "high-card" quickly folded and "kodikeasler1" called all in for less.

"kodikeasler1": {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
"Anonymous5413": {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

"kodikeasler1" had flopped trips out of the big blind but ran into a higher kicker. They found no help on the turn {q-Diamonds}, and the river {3-Spades} was of no avail either, resulting in their elimination from the tournament in 10th place.

"Meinhard1988"

In Level 20 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and an ante of 1,500, "Barrettwins" saw action fold around to the cutoff and raised to 24,000. "Meinhard1988" three-bet shoved for 68,000 on the button and "Barrettwins" made the call once it became their turn to do so.

"Barrettwins": {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
"Meinhard1988": {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

"Barrettwins" was out in front and remained there as the flop dropped {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, giving them top pair. The turn {10-Clubs} gave "Meinhard1988" four outs at a backdoor gutshot to Broadway, but they missed the jack they needed to completed the draw as the river came {8-Hearts} to result in their elimination from the tournament in 12th place.

Moments later, "Musclewhale89's" night came to an end in 11th place, and 10 players now remain. Hand-for-hand play is in effect across the two remaining tables until one elimination occurs, at which time the remaining nine players will have made the final table.
