Updated Chip Counts at the Break (full)

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Two Doubles, Both Through Haxton

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Right before break, Erik Seidel shoved all in over an under-the-gun open from Isaac Haxton, and Haxton called for 339,000.

Seidel: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Haxton: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Haxton was dominated and found insufficient improvement on the {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs} runout.

The next hand, action folded to the small blind, where Nick Petrangelo jammed for what he said was about 300,000. Haxton called without delay.

Haxton: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Petrangelo: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Petrangelo's live cards moved way ahead on the {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop and he turned two pair when the {10-Clubs} arrived. Haxton was left calling for an eight, but Petrangelo filled up on the {j-Clubs} river.

Kenney Flips for His Tournament Life

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

After Steve O'Dwyer opened with a raise, Bryn Kenney three-bet all in for 337,000. O'Dwyer called and it was off to the races.

O'Dwyer: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Kenney: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Kenney needed to improve to keep his hopes of winning back-to-back high roller titles alive, and he did just that when when the board ran out {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to give him a winning pair of aces.

Dvoress Manages to Survive the Argentine Assassin

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Chip leader Ivan Luca raised to 62,000 under the gun only to have Daniel Dvoress three-bet all in for 379,000 from the small blind. Luca made the call and the cards were tabled.

Dvoress: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Luca: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Luca has been on fire as of late, but not in this hand as the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Dvoress shipped the double.

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Ivan Luca just extended his overwhelming chip lead by quite a few more chips, as he knocked out Timothy Adams. Luca raised from the button and Adams moved all in for 515,000 from the big blind, which was snapped off by the Argentinian.

Adams: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Luca: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Adams went to collect his payslip for 11th place. With only eight million chips in play, Luca holds 35% of all the chips in play already.

Drinan: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Volpe: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Spades} and Volpe was knocked out, having to walk away empty-handed. The remaining players are now guaranteed to cash for at least $96,500.

Seidel Doubles on the Other

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to a short-stacked Erik Seidel in the small blind and he moved all in for 199,000, which Steve O'Dwyer called from the big.

O'Dwyer: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Seidel: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop was fine for Seidel, and so was the {3-Clubs} turn. All he needed to do was dodge a queen and ten on the river, which is just what he did when the {3-Spades} blanked on the river.

Newey Doubles on One Table

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

A short-stacked Paul Newey moved all in for 101,000 from the button and Connor Drinan called from the big blind.

Drinan: {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Newey: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Newey was ahead and improved on the {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop. The {8-Clubs} turn was nothing special, and the {4-Hearts} river gave Newey the much-needed double.
