King-High is No Good

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Anthony Gregg opened for a raise in the hijack seat, and was met with a three-bet from Jan Heitmann in the small blind. Gregg called.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Heitmann continued for 53,000. Gregg quickly called, and both players checked on the turn ({a-Hearts}), and the river ({2-Spades}).

"King-high," Heitmann announced.

Gregg tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes, Heitmann mucked, and Gregg took down another pot.

River Saves Julius

Jan Heitmann opened to 16,000 on the button, Ryan Julius moved all in for 128,000 from the big blind, and Heitmann made the call.

Showdown
Heitmann: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Julius: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop gave both players a pair, but Heitmann's hand was still best. The players traded outs when the {a-Diamonds} turned, and the {10-Clubs} fell on the river, giving Julius trip tens. He doubled to 267,000 chips, while Heitmann is down to just 275,000.

Schedule Adjustment

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The tournament has just announced that the players will either play a full six levels today or be done when the field reaches 64 players. That means we should be done this level if all goes as it has been.

More For Al Fitz

From the cutoff seat, Alex Fitzgerald opened to 22,000, and Alexey Sudarikov three-bet shoved for 128,000 out of the blinds. Fitzgerald had plenty of chips to make the call with {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, and he was flipping for the knockout against Sudarikov's {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

And the knockout he would get. The {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} flop was safe for the at-risk player, but Fitzgerald drilled the turn {Q-Hearts} and river {Q-Clubs} just for good measure.

Garcia Doubles Through Peters

Sergio Garcia
Sergio Garcia

David Peters made it 20,000 to go on the button before Sergio Garcia pulled out his driver from the big blind and mashed all of his chips into the middle. He was all in for 114,000 and Peters made the call.

Peters: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Garcia: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The flop kept Garcia in the lead when the {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} fell. No ace or jack came on the turn when the {5-Spades} landed, but even that card helped Peters a little bit as it added him some outs to a gutshot. Needing an ace, jack or deuce, Peters couldn't find what he needed when the {K-Spades} fell and Garcia was able to double up.

One More To Go

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The tournament field is down to 65 players. One more elimination and the remaining bunch will be bagging and tagging for the night.

Xuan Liu

It's been a quick tumble from above-average to out for Mikhail Shikhworich.

It was Xuan Liu who got the last of his chips, and she opened the pot to 20,000 under the gun. Shikhworich just went ahead and shoved all in for 242,000 from the small blind, and Liu made the call with {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}. That was not at all good news for Shikhworich, and his {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} had him five cards from the exit.

Liu never had to sweat as the board ran out {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, and she's sent another player packing to move up to about 645,000. She's the last lady standing, and she's got plenty of chips to do some damage now.
