Katz Squeezes Value from Peters

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

David Peters opened to 10,000 from under the gun with {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Cary Katz called in the big blind with {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and both players checked to the {q-Spades} on the turn.

Katz led out for 17,000 with his trip nines and Peters made the call with two pair and a flush draw. The river brought the {4-Diamonds} and Katz fired another small bet of 19,000. Peters didn't look too happy about it but decided to look him up anyway. Katz tabled his trip nines and raked in the pot.

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

Nitsche showed a {K-Spades}, but Davies revealed his winning {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for two pair, and Nitsche mucked.

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

With {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} on the felt, Dan Smith checked from the big blind and Nick Petrangelo bet 23,000. Smith called, bringing a {q-Spades} turn. Smith checked again and Petrangelo barreled for 80,000. Smith announced a call at the last second and the dealer brought out a {2-Hearts} river card. Smith checked and Petrangelo thought briefly before announcing call in.

Confirming the all in, Smith announced a quick call.

"You got it," Petrangelo said, tabling {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a missed straight.

Smith showed {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for turned two pair. Petrangelo had about 270,000 and Smith covered that, so Petrangelo wished everyone good luck and headed for the doors.

Vogelsang Hits Runner-Runner Full House

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang opened his button to 10,000 and Nick Petrangelo called in the small blind.

The flop landed {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Petrangelo checked to Vogelsang who bet 10,000. Petrangelo check-raised to 28,000, and Vogelsang called as the turn fell the {7-Clubs}.

Petrangelo shoved for roughly 500,000, and Vogelsang snap-called for his last 117,000.

Vogelsang: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}
Petrangelo: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Vogelsang's top pair and flush draw had improved to two pair on the turn, but he was still trailing Petrangelo's top two pair.

Needing to find a spade or seven on the river to survive, Vogelsang would see the {7-Hearts} roll off to ensure him of a double.

Ali Imsirovic Eliminated in 13th Place

Ali Imsirovic & Stephen Chidwick
Ali Imsirovic & Stephen Chidwick

Ali Imsirovic limped in from the small blind with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Stephen Chidwick raised to 16,000 in the big blind with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Imsirovic three-bet shoved all in for 123,000 and Chidwick quickly made the call.

Although Imsirovic was well out front with his pocket tens, Chidwick still found an ace on the flop of {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The {q-Spades} landed on the turn giving Imsirovic some chop outs but the {3-Clubs} hit the river.

The Purple Jacket points leader was eliminated in 13th place while Chidwick continued to build up his chip stack. With the elimination of Imsirovic, one thing becomes clear and that is Brandon Adams needs to finish in third place or better to become the 2018 Poker Masters champion.

Check-check and Adams showed {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights but Smith's kings were better as he had {k-Spades}{10-Spades}.
