Tucker Rips It

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Loren Klein raised to 110,000 from UTG with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and Dan O'Brien called next to act with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Tim Tucker came along in the big blind with {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and the trio saw a {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop together.

Tucker jammed for 1.3 million, and both Klein and O'Brien quickly folded.

O'Brien Makes A Straight On Gerhart

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Dan O'Brien raised to 110,000 from UTG with {6-Spades}{5-Spades}, Kevin Gerhart called from the cutoff with {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and Christopher Gallagher called in the big blind with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop saw O'Brien bet 110,000 with bottom pair, and Gerhart called with his top pair and flush draw. Gallagher folded.

The {4-Hearts} hit the turn, and O'Brien thought for a bit before betting 300,000. Gerhart called again.

The {7-Hearts} river gave O'Brien a straight (and would have given Gallagher a flush), and O'Brien jammed, putting Gerhart at risk for his last 850,000. Gerhart quickly folded.

Roberts Makes an Impressive Fold

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

Dan O'Brien raised to 125,000 from the hijack with {q-Spades}{5-Spades}, Austin Roberts called in the small blind with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and Kevin Gerhart called in the big blind with {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Action checked to O'Brien on a {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop, and he bet 125,000 with his queen-high flush draw. Roberts called with top pair, top kicker, and Gerhart folded.

The {q-Clubs} on the turn was checked by Roberts, and O'Brien, who turned the best hand with a pair of queens, quickly checked back.

The {j-Spades} on the river gave Roberts trip jacks but O'Brien a flush, and Roberts bet 280,000. O'Brien thought for a bit before raising to 750,000, and Roberts thought for a bit, then folded.

Christopher Gallagher Eliminated in 8th Place ($8,245)

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

Kevin Gerhart limped in from the cutoff with {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and Christopher Gallagher ripped his last 755,000 in from the button. Loren Klein gave it some thought before three-bet jamming for 1.4 million in the big blind, and Gerhart folded.

Gallagher: {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Klein: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Gallagher pulled ahead on the {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, and Klein was left looking for an ace or ten after the {4-Spades} hit the turn. The {10-Hearts} was just what Klein was looking for, and Gallagher hit the rail.

O'Brien's Set Wins The Biggest Pot Of The Tournament So Far

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

Tim Tucker limped in with {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, from the hijack, and Dan O'Brien raised to 225,000 from the button with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Vito Distefano called in the big blind with {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, and Tucker folded.

The {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop was checked by Distefano, and O'Brien bet 200,000 with middle set. Distefano called with middle pair and some backdoors.

On the {7-Spades} turn, Distefano checked again, and O'Brien bet 650,000. Distefano tossed in another call.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, and Distefano checked a third time. O'Brien bet 825,000 and Distefano quickly called, and O'Brien now holds more than a third of the chips in play.

Distefano Wins a Flip to Double

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

Tim Tucker raised to 350,000 from UTG+1, Dan O'Brien tanked before folding pocket eights on the button, and Vito Distefano three-bet jammed for 1.1 million from the small blind. Tucker called.

Tucker: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Distefano: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Tucker's sevens held on the {9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, but Distefano picked up a gutshot to go along with his overs. The {4-Hearts} turn was a brick, but the {10-Clubs} river left Distefano with the nuts and a double.
