Eisenberg Up Over One Million

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player limped from late position before Lara Eisenberg raised to 50,000 out of the small blind. The late position player called to send action heads-up to the flop.

Eisenberg continued for 35,000 on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} but was not able to shed her opponent, who made the call.

The {3-Spades} turn saw Eisenberg continue her aggression, betting out 110,000. Again, her opponent flatted.

Both players checked after the {a-Diamonds} river and Eisenberg tabled {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} for the rivered pair, good enough to take down a large pot that takes her over the 1,000,000 mark.

Sitzman Scoops Massive Pot

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player moved all in from early position before Cory Sitzman pushed his entire stack of 329,000 into the pot from middle position. Action folded around to the button who just called while the blinds got out of the way to put the early position player and Sitzman at risk.

Early Position Player: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Cory Sitzman: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Button Player: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Sitzman was in rough shape, that is until the flop came {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. The {9-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs} river changed nothing to hand Sitzman a near triple up.

Mitich Resurrected

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Just after Jacob Mitich lost a big flip to leave him short, he was all in and at risk from the big blind against the under the gun player and a player in early position. With the board reading {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts} all three players had their cards face up.

Jacob Mitich: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Under The Gun Player: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Early Position Player: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Mitich had made two pair to secure a full triple up to bring him back into contention.

Mitich Loses Flip, Left Short

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Jacob Mitich moved all in from middle position. Action folded back around to the original raiser who quickly called with the effective stack.

Under The Gun Player: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Jacob Mitich: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Mitich would eliminate his opponent if he could win a flip but failed to hit on a {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} runout to give the under the gun player a full double while leaving Mitich short.

Steve Burnett: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Button Player: {4-}{4-}

Burnett would need to win a flip to survive and did just that after the board ran out {7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.
