Klodnicki Up To 560K

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jacob Carl Schindler and Chris Klodnicki were in action in a big pot on the paired board of {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Schindler was first and checked, which was followed by a check from Klodnicki to see the {J-Diamonds} land on the river. Schindler checked again, and Klodnicki fired a bet of 100,000 with a tall tower of blue T5,000 chips. Schindler tanked for a bit, and eventually folded, claiming to have "the best starting hand in hold'em." Klodnicki just smiled and collected the pot.

Smith Shoves On Kakhmazov

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Picking up the action on the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} board, there was about 100,000 in the middle between Nadar Kakhmazov and Dan Smith. Smith was first and bet 36,000. Kakhmazov put in a raise, but he attempted to make it 68,500 to go. The minimum raise allowed was 72,000, so it was ruled that Kakhmazov had to add a few more chips. After he did, Smith began to think. Eventually, Smith reraised all in for around 215,000 or so. Kakhmazov quickly folded, and Smith won the pot.

Busquet's River Bet Wins It

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Chris Klodnicki on the button, and he raised to 13,500. Olivier Busquet made the call from the big blind, and the dealer produced the {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. Busquet and Klodnicki both checked.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and Busquet bet 18,000. After Klodnicki opted to make the call, the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river to complete the board. Busquet led with a bet of 40,000, and Klodnicki folded.

Pahuja Eliminated, Just 40 Remain

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Tommy Vedes
Tommy Vedes

We're down to five tables of eight players after Mukul Pahuja was just knocked out in 41st place. Ami Barer raised from the button to 12,000 and it seemed like Pahuja had moved all in from the small blind. He was up against Tommy Vedes in the big blind as Barer folded from the button.

Pahuja: {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Vedes: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Pahuja was knocked out shy of the money.

Cheong Finds a Double Through Benitez

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong raised to 14,000 from under the gun, and action folded over to Paul Newey in the hijack seat. Newey called, then Francisco Benitez called from the cutoff seat. Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst called from the small blind, and the four players saw the flop come down {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

On the flop, Selbst, Cheong, and Newey all checked. Benitez was last to act and opted to fire a bet of 27,500. After Selbst got out of the way, Cheong check-raised all in for 104,000. Newey gave it a little bit of thought, then folded, and Benitez quickly called.

Benitez showed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for a double gutshot straight draw. Cheong had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for an overpaid and a gutshot of his own.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and the river was the {6-Diamonds}. That gave Cheong the win and moved him to 275,000 in chips. Benitez slipped back to 128,000.
