The Battle of the Sams

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

Samuel Bongard opened first to act for 15,000 and Sam Trickett, one spot to his left, reraised to 42,000. Another seat over was Sam Greenwood and he moved all in for 290,000 total.

Bongard looked pained but eventually let his hand go. Trickett slapped his hand down, {J-}{J-}, folding as well. Greenwood showed his hand, {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, and Bongard smiled.

"At least I know you guys aren't picking on me," he said.

Elias Takes Big Hit; Markholt Catapults to 750K

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

There were plenty of chips already in the middle and a bet of 110,000 out in front of Darren Elias on the {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} board. His opponent, Lee Markholt, took some time and then raised all in for 302,000. Elias quickly called with the {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for top two pair, but he was behind the {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for Markholt. The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs}, and Markholt doubled up.

Markholt moved to approximately 750,000 in chips, and Elias dropped down to 254,000.

Chasing Chopportunities

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

The EPT Live crew have had the chance more than once today to use a favorite term — "chopportunity" — referring to community cards providing the possibility for a split pot. Meanwhile, for the handful of players remaining in the PCA Main Event more than half the $7.9 million-plus prize pool remains up for grabs to be chopped up between them. That's quite a chopportunity in itself, as detailed on the PokerStars Blog.

Mateos Eliminated by Metaal

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

Adrian Mateos moved all in for 63,500 from the hijack and it folded over to Govert Metaal who called from the small blind.

Mateos: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Metaal: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}, keeping Mateos' ace-king high in the lead. That all changed in a flash, however, as the {Q-Clubs} drilled the turn to give Metaal the lead with a pair of queens. The {7-Spades} completed the board and Mateos was eliminated from play.

Greenwood's Three-Bet Takes it Down

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

Samuel Bongard opened for 15,000 and two spots to his left Sam Greenwood three-bet to 43,000. It was folded back around to Bongard who let his hand go.

Tepper Ships

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

Ilkin Amirov raised to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have Darren Elias make it 35,000 to go from the button. Robert Tepper was in the small blind and he announced a four-bet all in for 176,000. Action folded back to Amirov who folded his hand as well.

Elias went into the tank for the better part of three minutes while pondering his action. In the end, he opted to fold and Tepper's shove took it down.

Shaun Deeb Eliminated

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

Shaun Deeb

Shaun Deeb got the last of his chips in with [9sh] and was up against Jonathan Karamalikis and his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to move the Australian into the lead and the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Diamonds} on the river would not change that thus eliminating Deeb from the tournament.
