Tepen Busts Carpenter

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Cash Carpenter
Cash Carpenter

Cash Carpenter got the last 43,000 or so in from the blinds against Ryan Tepen, but Tepen held the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and had Carpenter's {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} in awful shape. Some hope arrived for Carpenter as {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} flopped but running deuces sent him to payouts.

Likins Can't Find an Ace

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dave Likins put his last 40,000 in from middle position, and Bridgette Adkins called on the button.

Adkins: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Likins: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Likins needed an ace but was left wanting on a {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs} community.

Jonathan Nye Eliminated on Bubble

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jonathan Nye
Jonathan Nye

At one table, Jonathan Nye got his last 20,000 or so in on a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} with {a-Spades}{5-Hearts} and was leading an opponent who had {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, and that gave Nye's opponent a flush draw, which she completed on the {6-Diamonds} river.

At the other table, Mike McAdams got it in with {j-}{j-} against the {k-}{k-} of Ross Bybee, and the kings held up as neither improved.

McAdams had more chips than Nye, so Nye bubbled out while McAdams collected 18th-place money.

One More to Go

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player put his last 16,500 in from the hijack, and Jonathan Nye called. Jim Pruitt said he was all in from the big blind, and that got Nye out.

Pruitt: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}

"Classic race," the player with queen-nine observed dryly.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and the tournament is now hand-for-hand.

Karn Wins a Race

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Terry Karn limped under the gun, and a played in middle position shoved for 35,500. Karn tanked about a minute and called.

Karn: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Middle position: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"There you go," a player said as the {a-Diamonds} appeared in the window. It was followed, however, by the {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Karns took a hammerlock with a set. The {4-Spades} turn ended things.

Caron Crushing

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Martin Baum jammed about 32,000 in under the gun, and action folded to David Caron on the button, who slid in about 100,000. The blinds mucked.

Baum: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Caron: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Baum was destroyed but a {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop gave him hope. Two red cards, the {4-Hearts} and {8-Diamonds}, hit the felt though, and Caron added to his room-leading stack.

Jennings Holds

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We found Greg Jennings with 37,000 in front of him in the big blind, all in with 50,000 already in the middle. The player in the small blind called and showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} but she was crushed by Jennings' {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The board ran out {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Jennings doubled up.
