Fredlund Runs Into the Morfitt Buzzsaw

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Steve Fredlund
Steve Fredlund

We came to the table in the aftermath of Steve Fredlund's bustout, and the RecPoker founder was kind enough to share the details of his elimination.

Fredlund raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Matt Morfitt called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop, and the {3-Hearts} fell on the turn. Morfitt bet 50,000, and Fredlund jammed for 226,000. Morfitt called.

Steve Fredlund: {k-}{j-}
Matt Morfitt: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Fredlund got caught trying to steal one from Morfitt, and paid with his tournament life when the {7-Hearts} hit the river.

Briggs Busts Sutliff; Two More Fall as Well

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Michael Briggs
Michael Briggs

As James Shearer was going bust at an outer table, Joseph Sutliff jammed for 200,000 from the cutoff, and Michael Briggs had him at risk from the button.

Joseph Sutliff: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Michael Briggs: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Sutliff couldn't find a queen on a {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} runout and hit the rail. As he walked to the payout desk, Jose Bermudes joined him, as a slew of players all found themselves out of chips in quick succession.

Joe Wilson limped in from middle position, and Keifer Truett jammed for 63,000 on the button. Matt Morfitt cold-called in the big blind, and Wilson called as well.

Action checked down on a {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board, and Morfitt showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Wilson had {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Truett was eliminated when he tabled his {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

Phil Mader jammed for 110,000 from the cutoff, and Timothy Sciscoe called on the button.

Phil Mader: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Timothy Sciscoe: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Mader's overcard failed to come in on a {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} runout, and "Farmer" Phil Mader was the next to fall.

Joshua Zurn
Joshua Zurn

Joshua Zurn checked a {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop from the big blind, and preflop raiser Anthony Scarborough bet 53,000 in middle position. Michael Briggs raised to 140,000 on the button, and Zurn three-bet shoved for 650,000.

Scarborough, who only had 130,000 behind, went deep into the tank, and a few minutes ticked by before he folded. Briggs flashed the {q-Spades}, then mucked as well.

Koenemann Goes For the Bluff

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Benjamin Hood
Benjamin Hood

Benjamin Hood bet 30,000 into a pot of 100,000 from the big blind on a {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board, and Ron Koenemann jammed to put Hood at risk for his last 230,000.

Hood tanked for two minutes, studying the board, before softly announcing a call.

"Nothin'," Koenemann said, showing {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Hood tabled {10-Spades}{5-Clubs} for tens-up, and secured the hefty double.

Jason Simon: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Phil Mader: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Mader's eights survived a {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} runout to earn the knockout.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Bob Watters
Bob Watters

(As told to PokerNews by RGPS VP of Media Hayley Hochstetler)

After a raise to 20,000 from a player in middle position, Grant Hinkle three-bet shoved for 90,000 in the cutoff, and Bob Watters four-bet shoved for more in the small blind, chasing the rest of the field out.

Grant Hinkle: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Bob Watters: {a-Spades}{a-}

Hinkle picked up four outs on the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, but bricked the {10-Hearts} turn. Watters couldn't fade the {q-Clubs} river, however, and Hinkle doubled up with Broadway.
