Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joe Stapleton moved all in preflop for 63,000 and was called by Alexey Laptev to put his tournament life on the line.

Joe Stapleton: A♣Q♠ All in
Alexey Laptev: A♥K♥

Stapleton would need some help from the deck to stay alive, but the runout of 8♠9♥4♠J♣9♦ failed to provide for him and he was sent to the rail to finish his Coors Lite.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After an open from Gregory Gagne, Kent Washington moved all in for 93,000 and the action folded back to Gagne who quickly tossed out calling chips.

Kent Washington: 4♣4♠ All in
Gregory Gagne: 6♥6♣

Washington was in bad shape with his inferior pocket pair, and the board denied him help as it came 10♥5♥J♦8♣9♦ to send him to the rail while Gagne dragged the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ravi Udayakumar opened to 15,000, Douglas Apte moved all in, and Paul Vlahos shoved over the top for more. When it got back to Udayakumar, he quickly made the call for less and the three hands were on their backs.

Ravi Udayakumar: K♦K♣ All in
Douglas Apte: A♥Q♦ All in
Paul Vlahos: Q♣Q♥

Udayakumar was in the lead with his kings, and the runout of 4♥J♠8♥3♠4♣ was favorable to him to score him the main pot for a triple-up while Vlahos' queens were good to take the side pot which eliminated Apte.

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

On a three-way flop of J♦6♥K♦, Ravinder Sharma checked, Dylan Scaggs bet 12,500, and Arpit Bhardwaj called.

Then Sharma check-raised all in, which resulted in a fold from Scaggs and a quick call from Vhardwaj to put him at risk.

Ravinder Sharma: J♥7♥ All in
Arpit Bhardwaj: J♣J♠

Sharma was in bad shape against Bhardwaj's set of jacks, as only running hearts could save him

Unfortunately, the turn Q♠ killed that dream to leave him drawing dead and the river 3♥ sent him to the rail while Bhardwaj scooped in the pot.

Arpit Bhardwaj	235,500 171,000	171,000

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

David Stanford made it 6,000 to go preflop and was called by Jeff Platt, but then Stanislav Kriventsov moved all in for 14,500.

Stanford and Platt both called and the players saw the dealer spread the flop of A♥K♥2♥. Stanford then immediately moved all in which produced a quick fold from Platt to isolate Kriventsov.

Stanislav Kriventsov: 6♠6♦ All in
David Stanford: K♠2♠

Stanford was well in the lead with his flopped two pair, and the runout of 3♣4♠ kept it that way to earn him the pot and eliminated Kriventsov in the process.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a heads-up turn of 9♥A♥Q♠5♣, Kong Wang checked over to Brian Favro who fired off a bet of 8,000 into the pot of close to 18,000.

Wang thought for a few seconds but wound up making the call and the two continued to the river Q♦.

Wang then proceeded to move all in and was snap-called by Favro to put him at risk. Wang flipped over Q♥3♥ for trip queens but then Favro rolled over 9♣9♠ for a full house to send him to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of 10♣K♠8♦5♥, there was around 18,500 in the middle when Yunkyu Song bet 13,500 and was called by Hung Vo.

The river fell the A♣ and Song promptly moved all in to cover Vo, who then went into the tank.

After close to a minute of pained deliberation, Vo set out his stack to put himself at risk, but was quickly shown the bad news when Song rolled over Q♠J♠ for the nut straight. Vo shook his head and tabled K♥J♥ for a pair of kings as he stood up and headed to the exit.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a multi-way flop of 3♠6♦9♥, there was around 17,000 in the middle when David Ong led for 5,000 and was called by Michael Sy and Bradley Heinsohn, but then Joe Toney moved all in for 18,200.

Ong then moved all in for a little more and Sy called to put both at risk while Heinsohn got out of the way.

Joe Toney: J♥9♠ All in
David Ong: 5♠5♥ All in
Michael Sy: 8♣9♣

Toney was in the lead with pair of nines, jack-kicker, and the runout of 3♣J♠ only improved him to jacks and nines to take the main pot while Sy took the side to eliminate Ong.

Joe Toney	69,500 69,500	69,500

Douglas Apti: Jx10x
Anthony Li: A♠A♣

David Stanford: J♦J♣

Stanford was in the lead with his jacks, and the runout of 3♠Q♣ kept it that way to award him the big pot and sent Orn to the rail.
