Pinamonti Shuts Down on the River

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A big pot was brewing between Leo Pinamonti and Charles Kersey with a board of A♣4♠2♣10♣. Pinamonti led out with a bet of 95,000 into a pot of over 140,000. Kersey called and the 5♣ landed on the river.

Pinamonti gave it some thought and opted to check this time. Kersey also thought before turning over his A♠Q♥. Pinamonti couldn't beat it and relinquished his cards to the muck.

"Save me the embarrassment of showing," Pinamonti concluded.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Snyder opened to 12,000 in the cutoff and Rob Wazwaz three-bet to 40,000 on the button. The blinds stepped aside and Snyder four-bet jammed all in for 115,000. Wazwaz asked for a count and then made the call.

Michael Snyder: K♠K♣All in
Rob Wazwaz: A♦10♦

The flop fell Q♠8♦7♥ and Snyder was still well ahead with his pocket kings. The 3♥ and 7♣ runout was safe for Snyder who scored a double-up through Wazwaz.

Only One Card can Save Cassiday-Maloney

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Shaun Simmons opened to 10,000 in middle position and was called by Tyler Kolness on his left. Michael Cassiday-Maloney shipped all in for 68,000 from the big blind and was called in both spots.

The flop came 6♦3♦2♥ and the side pot was checked down through the 9♥ turn and the K♣ on the river. Cassiday-Maloney announced a king as he tabled K♠Q♦. That was enough to defeat the 10♣9♣ of Simmons and the A♠Q♥ of Kolness.

"Wow, that's lucky. The only card I could hit," Cassiday-Maloney pointed out.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rob Wazwaz took a crazy bad beat earlier in the evening when his set of aces got cracked but he quickly jumped back in the mix and has been climbing the leaderboard ever since. In his most recent confrontation, he clashed with Kevin McMahon with all of the chips going in on the turn on a board of K♣Q♣8♥5♠.

Kevin McMahon: K♦J♦All in
Rob Wazwaz: Q♥Q♦

Wazwaz flopped a set of queens and had McMahon drawing dead on the turn. The K♠ on the river was just a formality as Wazwaz now has more chips than he's had all tournament.

Keith Doering raised it up from under the gun and Darrin Gerr stuck in a three-bet from the button. Doering called and they saw a flop of 9♥5♦2♣. Doering checked to Gerr who announced all in and Doering called off his stack of around 70,000.

Keith Doering: 9♦8♦All in
Darrin Gerr: Q♥Q♣

Gerr was in the lead with his overpair but Doering picked up additional outs on the 6♠ turn. However, the 10♥ bricked out and Doering was added to the list of Gerr's latest victims.

Rob Wazwaz and Darrin Gerr were the two big stacks at the table, and possibly in the entire tournament. The two players collided in a massive preflop confrontation that resulted in Wazwaz being at risk for 232,000.

Rob Wazwaz: A♠A♥All in
Darrin Gerr: Q♥Q♦

The flop came A♦7♥2♦ and Wazwaz took a commanding lead with a set of aces. Gerr rose from his chair as the J♦ breathed life into his hand with the lone flush draw. The 8♦ peeled off on the river and Gerr shouted in elation after hitting his flush to bust Wazwaz.

"Woah! You gotta write down that one! The two big stacks!"
