Gates Eliminates Zhang

Level 5 : 200/400, 75 ante

Following a raise in the cutoff to 650, Zhihao Zhang moved all in from the button for his last 1,350. Garry Gates called in the small blind, as did the original raiser.

Both players checked it down with Gates' {J-}{J-} prompting a fold from the original raiser before Zhang flashed his {4-}{4-} and exited the tournament area.

Brent Harrington

On a board of {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} with 1,825 in the middle, Jason Somerville led out for 1,500 from the small blind.

The big blind called before Brent Harrington moved all in for his last 3,925 from the cutoff. Somerville folded, but the big blind called.

Harrington: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}

With Harrington needing a club, the river landed the {Q-Diamonds} to end Harrington's tournament prematurely.

Asked if was planning on re-entering, Harrington was unsure.

Somerville Can't Top Aces-Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 50 ante

From under the gun, Jason Somerville opened to 625 and found action from the big blind.

Both players checked the {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop as the {5-Spades} landed on the turn and Somerville bet out 500. His opponent check-called as the river landed the {5-Hearts} and checked for a third time.

Somerville tossed in a bet of 1,125 and his opponent called tabling {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to scoop the pot from Somerville.
