Faria Loses Some to Koonce

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Luis Faria limped the small blind and Jason Koonce checked his option from the big blind. On the {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Faria checked and called a bet worth 125,000. The {6-Spades} turn went check, check, and Faria also checked the {4-Clubs} on the river.

Koonce made it 300,000 to go and picked up a call to roll over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for top pair, which was good enough to claim the pot.

Koonce Doubles Through Liperis

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jason Koonce made it 175,000 to go from the cutoff and Yiannis Liperis defended his big blind. On a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} both players opted to check and Liperis bet the {J-Hearts} turn for 325,000, Koonce called.

After the {3-Spades} river, Liperis bet 975,000 and Koonce moved all in. This prompted the instant request of Liperis to ask for a count and Koonce's shove was for 2,090,000 in total. Liperis used one time bank extension and called to get shown {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a flopped full house by Koonce. Liperis only had {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for flopped trips sevens and forked over a decent portion of his stack.

Johnson Burns Four Extensions

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On a flop of {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, it wasn't clear how the betting went as Chris Johnson had three T100,000 chips in front of him in the big blind, but Scott Baumstein had made it 515,000 in second position. Johnson used two time extensions and called. On the {8-Hearts} turn, Johnson checked and Baumstein bet 405,000. Johnson again used two extensions on the money jump before shoving all in. Baumstein called but both players held king-queen and it was already a chop.

Perrault Gets One Through

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Marc Perrault raised to 125,000 in early position with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Jake Schwartz just called in the cutoff with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Jack O'Neill three-bet to 450,000 with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} on the button and Perrault four-bet shoved for 2,920,000.

Schwartz let out a breath of hot air and asked for a count. He thought for his allotted 30 seconds and then decided to give up his hand. O'Neill's cards quickly followed into the muck and Perrault was able to scoop the pot preflop.

Schwartz Dominates Oliveira

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The full action was not seen on the feature table, but Filipe Oliveira got his stack of around 700,000 in the middle with {a-}{3-}. He was called by Jake Schwartz with {a-}{q-} and would need some help on the board.

Unfortunately for Oliveira, he was unable to connect with the board and he sent his entire stack over to Schwartz, who holds the chip lead at the table.
