Ivan Luca Sets Up Erik Seidel in Big Pot

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Seidel raised to 45,000 from the button and Argentina's Ivan Luca responded with a three-bet to 135,000 from the small blind.

Seidel called and then action went check-check on the {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop.

When the dealer burned and turned the {9-Diamonds}, Luca led out for 185,000 and Seidel called.

Luca bet again on the {2-Hearts} river, this time 430,000, and Seidel paid it off.

Luca rolled over the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for a set, and Seidel sent his hand to the muck.

Kanit Doubles Through Katz

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit shoved under the gun for 176,000 with {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Cary Katz called from the button with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The blinds got out of the way.

The flop of {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} hit Kanit hard. The {5-Diamonds} hit the turn which didn't do anything for anyone. The {5-Hearts} on the river improved Kanit's hand to a full house and he doubled.

Sam Greenwood Doubles, David Peters Falls

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

Action folded to David Peters in the small blind and he moved all in for roughly 325,000. Sam Greenwood was in the big blind with 271,000 and called off.

Peters: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Greenwood: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Peters got it in good, but he fell behind on the {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop. Neither the {8-Hearts} turn nor {2-Clubs} river helped Peters, and he was left with just 55,000.

Two hands later, Peters shoved the cutoff and Ike Haxton isolated with a three-bet from the small blind.

Peters: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Haxton: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Peters had a kicker problem and it didn't get resolved as the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} to leave him drawing dead by the turn.

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Justin Bonomo opened the cutoff for 40,000 with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Stephen Chidwick, in the small blind, woke up with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and three-bet to 145,000. Bryn Kenney folded his big blind, Bonomo called.

With 320,000 in the middle, the flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Chidwick bet 75,000. Bonomo called in position.

The {3-Spades} hit the turn and Chidwick bet 125,000. Bonomo called again.

No Comeback for Kruk

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Christopher Kruk
Christopher Kruk

Christopher Kruk's comeback has fallen short.

He had worked his 23,000 up to 411,000 when he moved all in over the top of Ike Haxton's 40,000 raise. Haxton called.

Haxton: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Kruk: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Kruk's best shot at survival was to catch an ace, but that didn't happen as the board ran out bone dry.
