Jersey Ripped

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Meyers
Chris Meyers

Chris Meyers fell to the 100,000-chip mark and shipped those in with the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Ernie Guardarramas called holding the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. There was both and ace and a jack on the flop, but not much else worth writing about the rest of the way.

They're down to 20 now with Meyers out 21st.

Flip The Script

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

They're flipping for big stacks now.

Tommy Tomasello raised, Anne Jones three bet to 75,000, and Tomasello ripped in for 220,000 more. Jones called with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Tomasello was flipping for his tournament life with the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Tomasello proved luckier.

The Numbers

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There's 21 now after Mark Roberts busted [Removed:602] all in on a king-high flop. They both had the king, but Roberts' queen kicker was one better than [Removed:603]'s jack.

Below are updated chip counts for the entire group.

The Top and Bottom

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Eric Natkinniemi checked the river of an {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board with about 200,000 already in there. [Removed:602] bet 55,000 and Anne Jones came over the top for another 140,000.

Natkinniemi folded, but not [Removed:603]. He made the call and Jones dragged the pot turning over the {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} full house. Now Jones is in the top ten stacks and [Removed:603] falls to the bottom ten.

Reynolds Learns A Lesson From Klass

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Rob Reynolds
Rob Reynolds

Guy Klass opened and Rob Reynolds shipped in his 200,000-chip stack with two jacks.

It took a minute, but Klass called with the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. The board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} taking Reynolds with it.

Klass now has a contending stack and they are down to 23.

Level: 20

Making Change

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Patty Fitzgerald
Patty Fitzgerald

Patty Fitzgerald shoved short with two fives, but there were enough chips in her stack to push Paul McLean into the chip lead when he called with the {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, flopped a flush draw, turned and ace, and beat her.

Fitzgerald is out and there's 24 left now with McLean on top.

Guardarramas Drinks Zawacki's Milkshake

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Ernie Guardarramas
Ernie Guardarramas

Jason Zawacki semi-bluff shoved an open-ended straight draw with a king.

Ernie Guardarramas called with the same straight draw, plus outs to a flush with one card to come. King-high was good for a minute, until Guardarramas found his flush card on the river.

Zawacki is out and suddenly Guardarramas holds the chip lead.

Blaszczak Busto!

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Tadeusz "Ted" Blaszczak
Tadeusz "Ted" Blaszczak

Tadeusz Blaszczak is the first player out in the money. He shipped it for 35,000 after Paul McLean opened to 20,000.

Blake Napierala came over the top all-in for less than 100,000 and McLean folded.

Blaszczak's tournament life was riding on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} versus Napierala's {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and he lost it on a {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} run out.
