Cohen Shoves Flop

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Papa Karn raised to 2,000 from first position and from one seat over, Brad Cohen three-bet to 7,000 which saw only the big blind call.

The flop of {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} saw the big blind lead out for 12,000 and Cohen responded by moving all in for 30,000 effective. The big blind folded and Cohen raked in the pot.

Before all of the chips were in his pot, Cohen quickly flashed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for a pair of aces and he padded his chip stack.

At another table, Blair Hinkle was eliminated.

Ostendorf Barrels Thrice

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop three ways with Brian Ostendorf in the hijack.

Action checked to Ostendorf on the {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop where he bet 3,500 which only the cutoff called.

The turn of {k-Diamonds} saw Ostendorf size up to 8,000 which the cutoff called as well.

Ostendorf bet 22,000 on the {6-Diamonds} river and the cutoff went into the tank. After some time passed he put his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Ostendorf.

Berthelsen Working On a Spin Up

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in first position raised to 2,000 and in the big blind, Kevin Berthelsen called.

The flop of {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} saw Berthelsen check to his opponent who bet 3,000. Berthelsen moved all in for 9,300 and his opponent went into the tank. "Two overs any good," he asked as Berthelsen held his hand close to the muck.

After some time and exchanges between the two players, the opponent mucked and Berthelsen took down the pot to add a much needed win to his stack.

Ellis Scoops A Monster

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn between four players including Duster Ellis in the hijack with 46,000 in the center already.

The board read {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and action checked around to Ellis who bet 10,600 which both the cutoff and the late position player called.

The early position player moved all in for 21,700 when the {6-Diamonds} river hit and Ellis went into the tank. He debated his decision for over 90 seconds and then decided to move all in for 29,000 effective, folding out the cutoff.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Duster Ellis: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Both shared a top pair, but it was Ellis' kicker that played higher and he took down a massive pot to put him as one of the biggest stacks in the field.

At another table, Kevin Berthelsen was eliminated.
