Wild Ride for Pridey and Zhou

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Zhi Zhou opened to 8,000 preflop and was called by William Pridey to go heads-up to a flop of 725.

Zhou continued for 5,000 and was instantly raised by Pridey to 15,000. Zhou did not think this mount was nearly enough and he jammed in his stack of around 60,000 and Pridey snap-called to put him at risk.

Zhi Zhou: 22
William Pridey: KK

Pridey's pocket kings were well behind Zhou's set of deuces, but not for long as the K fell on the turn to give Pridey a superior set of kings.

His celebration was short-lived, however, as the miracle 2 came crashing down on the river to give Zhou quad deuces and the table erupted. Zhou was pushed the large pot for the double-up to 140,000 while Pridey was left sitting in shock with only a 500-chip left of his tournament life. He ended up busting in the very next hand and was sent to the rail.

NIck Burris is a Big Deal

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Hisey opened to 6,500 and received one call, but then Nick Burris moved all for around 55,000. action folded back to Hisey who tank-called while the other player tapped the table and open folded pocket sixes.

The cards were then tabled, with Hisey at risk of elimination.

Jason Hisey: AQ
Nick Burris: KK

Hisey needed some help to stay alive, but the flop of 210K put him pretty far behind as it gave Burris top set of kings, although Hisey now could hit a jack for a straight or go runner-runner clubs.

Unfortunately for him, the runout came 27 for brick-brick and Burris was awarded the pot.

"Yeah, im kind of a big deal around here," Burris said with a grin as Hisey exited the tournament area.

LaFevre Takes it Down

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After an open to 4,000 by Josh Roberts in late position, Will LeFevre put in a three-bet to 15,000.

Roberts made the call after several moments and the two went heads-up to a flop of 76A. LeFevre then led out for a big bet of 20,000 and Roberts promptly folded to award him the pot.

Mason Waves Goodbye to His Opponent

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jonathon Mason
Jonathon Mason

Jonathon "JB" Mason opened to 3,000 but was then three-bet to 19,000 by the player in the cutoff, which was a virtual all-in as he only held a single 1,000 chip behind.

Action folded back to Mason who quickly flicked in a chip to call, but did not see that his opponent was not all in yet so the cards were not exposed.

Mason rolled his eyes and tossed out a 1,000 bet to put his opponent all in as the flop came out 425. His opponent made the call and the cards were flipped over.

Opponent: A10
Jonathon "JB" Mason: AK

Mason was already in the lead with his superior ace-king, and the turn K left his opponent drawing dead and the 10 completed the board to award him the pot.

Mason gave his headphone and sunglass-wearing opponent a sarcastic wave goodbye as he exited the tournament area.

Hisey Triples on River; Tebben Hangs Head in Shame

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player in early position opened to 2,800 but was then immediately three-bet by Roger Bennett on his left to 7,000. Jeff Tebben in the cutoff called behind but then Jason Hisey moved all in from the small blind for 12,400. Action then folded back around to Bennett, who, after confirming this bet opened it back up, put in a cold five-bet to 55,000.

This brought the focus back to Tebben, who was clearly distraught.

"Ughh, I actually have a hand here, and if it was anyone else I would have raised it," He sighed as he tossed his cards into the muck, and the other two tabled their cards.

Jason Hisey: 99
Roger Bennett: AK

"Yeah that was the best-case scenario," Tebben said and admitted that he folded pocket jacks.

Hisey was a favorite going into this classic flip with his pocket nines, but the flop of A76 was not his friend as it gave Bennet top pair of aces.

Meanwhile, Tebben was patting himself on the back for making the fold, that is, until the J came down on the turn that would have given him a set.

Then the miracle 9 appeared on the river to save Hisey by giving him a set of nines to take the pot for essentially a triple up to 37,000.

"That was your moment!" the table jokingly needled Tebben, who just sat there and shook his head.
