McDonald Gets a Much-Needed Nine

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Nancy McDonald in the hijack and she open-jammed. The big blind looked down at his cards and set his stack of chips forward onto the felt as well.

Big Blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
McDonald: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

The runout {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} gave McDonald a pair of nines on the flop, which remained best through the completion of the hand. Her stack was totaled to be 52,300 and the big blind's to be 48,300. As such, she scored roughly a full double and sent another player to the rail in the process.

Sixty players now remain, as the seventh table in play is currently breaking this very moment.

Stetler Doubles Again

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Melissa Stetler was seen standing up while the dealer was in the process of completing a runout with her tournament life at stake. Stetler was in middle position and up against the cutoff, with the two watching the runout finish {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

The small blind's {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} had flopped a set, but Stetler's {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} had still had a dozen outs and was able to find one on the turn. She then faded a paired board on the river and the double was shipped her way.

Reichard Gets a Bit More

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Reichard: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Turnadzic Gets Small Value

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Just under 25,000 was in the middle on a board reading {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} with heads-up action between Beriz Turnadzic, who was under the gun, and his opponent on his direct left.

Turnadzic bet 10,000 and received a call, bringing the river {j-Spades}, where he bet another 10,000 and received a call once more.

Turnadzic tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for trip tens and his opponent mucked, earning him the pot. Turnadzic now has just shy of 300,000, which looks to be the largest stack in the room at present moment.

Reynolds Saved by the River

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

William Reynolds open-jammed for 21,200 in the cutoff and was called by the big blind.

Reynolds: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Big Blind: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Reynolds was in a coin flip for his tournament life, needing to hit to stay alive. The flop {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} didn't do much for him, but the turn {j-Diamonds} did add another four outs to his total. Then, the prettiest card in the deck {a-Spades} appeared on the river to improve Reynolds to top pair, top kicker and earn him the double.
