Level Holds to Stay In It

Tyler Boyer

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

Action was picked up with David Level all in for 50,000, and Harry Cheatham putting him at risk.

David Level: 7♠7♥ All in
Harry Cheatham: K♣Q♦

It was a flip for Level's tournament life, and when the board ran out 5♦A♣9♥10♠3♦ and the pocket sevens of Level were still best to give him the double up.

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

Action was picked up on the river, with roughly 175,000 in the pot, and the board showing 10♣4♣9♣2♥8♣.

Yang Xu in early position bet out 75,000, and John Roberts on the button raised all in for his stack of 223,000. Xu then confirmed the count and debated his decision. After about a minute, Xu said "If you got it, you got it" and made the call. Which Roberts replied "Oh, I have a straight flush" and tabled Q♣J♣. Xu was visibly distraught and tossed A♣3♥ for an ace high flush in the muck, as Roberts scooped a massive pot.

A few hands later Xu was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.

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

Action folded to Christopher Cox in early position, and he raised all in for his stack of 42,000. It then folded to John Roberts in the cutoff, and he made the call. The button and the blinds folded, to leave the players heads up, with Cox at risk.

Christopher Cox: 7♦7♣ All in
John Roberts: J♥J♣

Cox ran into the bigger pocket pair of Roberts, but the 5♦A♦K♦ flop gave Cox extra outs in the form of a flush draw. However, the 2♠ on the turn and 4♥ on the river brought no help for Cox, and the pocket jacks of Roberts was still best, eliminating Cox.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to John Roberts on the button, and he raised to 12,000, which was called by the big blind Jeff Landherr.

After the 8♦7♦3♠ flop, Landherr check-called a bet of 17,000 from Roberts.

The turn brought the 2♠ and Landherr checked to Roberts again, who fired out 45,000. Landherr wasted little time and mucked his hand to give the pot to Roberts.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Yang Xu in the hijack, and he raised to 12,000. It then folded to John Roberts who defended his big blind.

The flop came 2♣A♣K♣ and Roberts checked to Xu, who bet out 15,000. Roberts then raised to 35,000, which sent Yang into the tank. After over two minutes, Yang elected to fold. As Roberts scooped the pot, he showed the table 9♦4♦ which got a reaction from the entire table.

Action folded to William Henricks in the hijack who raised to 8,000, which was called by Jeff Landherr in the cutoff, and the big blind Christopher Cox.

After the 9♦6♦3♥ flop, Cox moved all in for his stack of 26,000. Henricks quickly folded, and Landherr gave it some thought before mucking his hand as well, giving the pot to Cox.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Brandon Butler in the hijack and moved all in for his stack of 65,000. It then folded to the big blind Kevin Shipp, who called for his stack of 58,000, putting himself at risk.

Kevin Shipp: A♠8♠ All in
Brandon Butler: 10♠10♦

Shipp would need to improve past the pocket tens of Butler, and once the board ran out 7♠K♣3♣6♥7♦ the pocket tens of Butler remained best, eliminating Shipp.
