"CharlieLucky" Doubles Through Hohner

In Level 30 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, "CharlieLucky" saw action fold to them in the small blind and opened to 180,000. Ryan "TheSims" Hohner called, defending his big blind to see a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

"CharlieLucky" bet the pot for 397,500 and Hohner called, bringing the turn {j-Spades}. "CharlieLucky" jammed for their last 536,000 and Hohner called once more.

"CharlieLucky": {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Ryan "TheSims" Hohner: {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Hohner was ahead with bottom two pair but "CharlieLucky" hit their nut flush draw on the river {9-Hearts} to score the dub and stay alive. Meanwhile, Hohner now finds himself crippled with just a few big blinds remaining in his stack.

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 31 with blinds of 35,000/70,000 and an ante of 8,750, preflop action between "CharlieLucky" in the big blind and "GrindUrGearz", who was on the button brought 665,000 into the middle.

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.

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

"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.

"GrindUrGearz" Eliminated in 4th Place ($2,640)

"GrindUrGearz"
"GrindUrGearz"

In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000:

Hand #1: "GrindUrGearz" opened the action with a raise to 240,000 in the cutoff and "CharlieLucky" called in the small blind. Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell three-bet to 960,000 and "GrindUrGearz" went all in over the top, forcing "CharlieLucky" out of the hand before Campbell called off his last crumbs.

Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
"GrindUrGearz": {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to give Campbell trip fives on the river and keep him alive.

Hand #2: On the very next hand, "CharlieLucky" raised to 160,000 on the button and Campbell called in the small blind. "GrindUrGearz" three-bet to 640,000 in the big blind and both players called.

The three saw a flop of {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Campbell checked. "GrindUrGearz" shoved all in for 1 million and "CharlieLucky" folded back to Campbell, who called.

"GrindUrGearz": {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

"GrindUrGearz" had gotten their aces in against a flopped set of kings and failed to pick up anything more than a backdoor Broadway draw on the turn {j-Spades}. The river {4-Spades} completed nothing and they were eliminated from the tournament as a result.

"CharlieLucky" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($3,630)

"CharlieLucky"
"CharlieLucky"

In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, all of the chips had gone in with "CharlieLucky" at risk in the big blind against Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell, who was on the button. When the runout finished, the board read {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

"CharlieLucky": {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}

"CharlieLucky" had flopped bottom two pair but ran it into Campbell's top two pair. Even worse, Campbell also held a trey in his hand to leave "CharlieLucky" with one three along with paired running eights or nines as their only chances to stay alive. Instead, the board ran out {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and they were eliminated from the tournament in third place.

Hand #1: In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, almost immediately after the heads-up match began, Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski got his last 918,000 into the middle preflop in the big blind against Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell, who was on the button.

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Tentnowski's aces held with ease as the board ran out {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to give him a full house and earn him the double.

Hand #2: In Level 33 with blinds of 45,000/90,000 and an ante of 11,250, a few minutes later after the level changed, the two players got to the river on a board of {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} with relatively little action: there was 472,000 in the middle and Campbell checked in the big blind to Tentnowski, who was on the button.

Tentnowski bet 283,000 and Campbell check-raised to 1.32 million. Tentnowski came back over the top, reraising all in for around 2 million and Campbell called.

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players hit full houses on the river, but Tentnowski had kings full of sevens to trump Campbell's kings full of fives and earn him a second double.

In Level 34 with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and an ante of 12,500, Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski raised to 200,000 on the button and Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell three-bet to 600,000 in the big blind. Tentnowski called.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Campbell continuation-bet 612,500, which was half the size of the pot. Tentnowski called to bring the turn {9-Spades}. Campbell continued with a second barrel, this time for the size of the pot at 2.45 million.

Such a bet was for around 80% of his stack, and Tentnowski opted to fold and march on, though not without relinquishing the chip lead back to Campbell along the way.
