Chips Fly Leading To Break; "GrindUrGearz" Back On Top

"GrindUrGearz"
"GrindUrGearz"

The four remaining players are on a five-minute break with a minute remaining in Level 31 (35,000/70,000/8,750).

In the last five minutes before break, Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell got all in against Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski and doubled to leave Tentnowski down to three big blinds.

Tentnowski then doubled, and Campbell found another double himself. From there, Tentnowski got all in against "CharlieLucky" and doubled for a second time of his own.

Stacks were then such that nobody had more than 3 million until the final hand before the break, when Tentnowski opened to 140,000 in the cutoff. Both Campbell and "GrindUrGearz" called in the blinds to take action three ways to a flop of {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, where all three players checked.

Campbell bet 175,000 on the turn {9-Hearts} and "GrindUrGearz" called. Once Tentnowski folded, the river came {8-Clubs} and Campbell bet another 269,000 only to be faced with a raise to 945,000. He went deep into the tank and eventually found a call.

"GrindUrGearz" showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a flopped boat and took down the pot, reclaiming the chip lead to go along with it. After the dust settled, chip counts have now reached their current values listed below.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades} and both players checked. "CharlieLucky" led out for 297,000 on the turn {8-Diamonds} and "GrindUrGearz" called

The river fell {k-Clubs} and "CharlieLucky" bet another 455,000. "GrindUrGearz" called and the hand went to showdown.

"CharlieLucky" showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a full house and took the pot, overtaking the chip lead along with it.

In Level 30 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, "CharlieLucky" raised to 130,000 in the hijack and Ryan "TheSims" Hohner called. All remaining players folded and "CharlieLucky" bet enough to put Hohner all in for his last 43,000 on the flop {5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Hohner called.

"CharlieLucky": {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Ryan "TheSims" Hohner: {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Hohner had a lower pair, open-ended straight draw, and backdoor flush draw with two cards remaining. The turn {4-Hearts} gave both players two pair, changing nothing to the river {7-Clubs}, which again left the situation unchanged as his hand remained second best and he finished in fifth place as a result.

In Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, Ryan "TheSims" Hohner opened to 84,000 in the hijack and was called by "GrindUrGearz" on the button and "CharlieLucky", who defended their big blind.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts} and "CharlieLucky" checked to Hohner, who made a continuation-bet of 80,000. "GrindUrGearz" thought for a while and then called, and "CharlieLucky" followed suit.

Action continued three ways to the turn {9-Clubs}, where "CharlieLucky" once again checked. Hohner continued with second barrel of 104,000 and "GrindUrGearz" stuck around once more. "CharlieLucky" got out of the way and action went heads up to the river {5-Diamonds}.

Hohner fired out another bet to empty the clip and "GrindUrGearz" quickly folded.
