Kauffman Leaves Applegarth Short After a Dub

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Clint Applegarth open-jammed for 202,000 in early position and Norman Kauffman called all in for 151,000 in the cutoff.

Kauffman: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Applegarth: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Kauffman flopped top pair on {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, leaving Applegarth in need of hitting one of his two overcards to win the pot. The turn {2-Diamonds} took away two of his outs, and the river {a-Diamonds} proved to be one of those, giving him top pair but improving Kauffman to a flush and scoring him the double.

King Runs Into Aces

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tom King was just seen getting all in preflop once more from middle position against Tim Dorzweiler in the small blind.

King: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Dorzweiler: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

King's big-slick had run into the preflop nuts, and he could only muster one of the two kings he would need to improve on a runout of {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} to bring about his elimination from the tournament.

Escareno Can't Win the Coin Flip

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Guanyun Chen opened in the hijack and saw Mike Escareno re-shove for around 100,000 on the button. Chen called once it was his turn to do so.

Escareno: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Chen: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

A queen-high runout {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades} was not enough for Escareno to stay alive, and he was eliminated in 40th place as a result.

Yusuf and Vanier Play for Stacks

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

As the previous level expired, Mike Vanier defended his big blind to an under-the-gun open from Shem Yusuf. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Vanier checked to Yusuf, who continuation-bets 55,000. Vanier check-raised to 140,000 and Yusuf called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Vanier checked. Yusuf bet 165,000 and Vanier went into the tank for a while before check-jamming for Yusuf's effective stack of 430,000. Yusuf snap-called.

"Do you have a full house?" asked Vanier. "I flopped a straight," he added as he tabled {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Yusuf confirmed the answer to Vanier's question, showing {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for the turned boat. The river {q-Clubs} completed the runout and the pot of roughly 1.3 million was shipped to Yusuf.
