Turn Bet Does the Job for Sy

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Eduardo Miranda limped from the hijack before Michael Sy made it 3,600 on the button.

Miranda stuck around with a call and sent them to a flop of 4♣5♣10♠ before he checked. Sy continued for 3,000, and Miranda answered with a call.

The 7♦ turn led to a check from Miranda before Sy put in his final 11,200 to be all-in. Miranda asked for a count, but thought against making the call as he folded to award Sy the pot without any further bloodshed.

Rauschhuber Doubles Through Gilley

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

This hand was picked up on the flop of 4♦8♥3♣ with over 15,000 already in the middle.

Neil Rauschhuber went all-in for 18,600 from under the gun and was called by Monte Gilley to be at risk with two cards to go.

Neil Rauschhuber: 8♣8♠All in
Monte Gilley: 5♠5♣

Rauschhuber got the chips in good, as it would take a dramatic runner-runner situation for Gilley to recapture the lead.

That did not come to pass on the 10♦ turn and the 6♣ river, to award the pot to Rauschhuber.

Randy "3Coin" Sadler

This hand was picked up on the turn of a board that read 6♠7♦J♦ with David Vu already all-in and at risk with over 60,000 in the middle between the main pot and the side pot. The flop was a battleground between Randy Sadler and Ryan Heitzman. Sadler checked before Heitzman put out a bet of 16,000.

"Alright, let's have some fun," said Sadler as he pushed his chips in the middle for an all-in for 61,700. Heitzman made the call to put Sadler and Vu at risk.

David Vu: A♠7♠All in
Curtis Sadler: K♠J♣All in
Ryan Heitzman: A♣K♥

Sadler was in the lead after he escaped from a dominated hand situation to pull ahead of Heitzman.

The 5♥ turn and 3♥ river did not alter the standings as Sadler took in a big pot and knocked out Vu in the process.

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

Alex Kuyumjian and Graham Perry got the chips in preflop with Perry at risk for his tournament life for 17,500.

Graham Perry: A♥K♣All in
Alex Kuyumjian: Q♦Q♠

It was another classic race between queens and ace-king, but this time the ace-king was the victor when the board ran out 4♣K♥8♦3♦4♥ to give Perry a pair of kings and secure the double up against Kuyumjian.

Boddorf Takes from Huynh

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Sergio Ochoa opened to 1,600 from under the gun, which led to calls by Matthew Boddorf from the hijack and Justin Chen from the cutoff. Bon Huynh answered with a three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind. Ochoa folded, but Boddorf and Chen both called.

Huynh continued for 10,000 on the Q♣8♦8♠ flop. Boddorf called, but Chen was done with the hand and folded.

The 7♥ turn resulted in a check from Huynh. Boddorf was not in the checking mood as he went all-in. Huynh wasted little time making the fold as Boddorf took down the pot on the turn.
