Roberts Fights Back!

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Mark Roberts
Mark Roberts

Steve Braverman opened to 30,000 and Mark Roberts made it 85,000.

Braverman shoved in for close to 400,000 and after tanking it out, Roberts called it off for his tournament life holding a little less.

It was Roberts' kings against Braverman's jacks and they both spiked sets. Regardless, Roberts held on to win the pot and climb back into this thing. Braverman is hurting now.

In the meantime, they are down to 20 and moving to two tables of ten.

Left With Bits

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Fabio Buomaguro
Fabio Buomaguro

For all of Fabrizio Buonaguro's bluster, he's just been blown away.

They may not be playing for kibble, but he's got bits now after calling Anthony Tavolino's 350,000-chip shove.

Tavolino had kings, Buonaguro had big slick and the kings held. Now Tavolino is a contender and Buonaguro is playing push or fold.

Kibbles And Bits

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Details were rather sketchy on this one, but apparently Fabrizio Buonaguro picked off a Jason Sardo bluff to bust him and vault into contention.

There was something said about playing for kibbles and bits as well, but we'll leave that one to the dogs.

Playing Defense

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Latour's effort to defend his title is still alive.

The winner of the 2016 Summer Slam $200 Rentry, he threw his last 100,000 in with the {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} versus pocket tens and things did not look promising through the {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} board to the turn.

However, the {q-Hearts} river was a good one for Latour and he doubled to 200,000, keeping his run to repeat going.

Olshan Triples

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Aaron Olshan went all in for 109,000 over a 35,000-chip open and Jeremy Martin came all in over the top.

The original aggressor made the call for his tournament life and the cards were turned up:

Olshan: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Martin: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Raiser: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Martin was the only one not raking in chips. Oslhan tripled into contention and the original raiser came out slightly ahead thanks to a side pot.

Four Flushed

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Eugene Applement got it in with kings versus Anthony Koch's big slick for 400,000.

However, Koch four-flushed Applement out making the nuts to the second nuts and he's now firmly among the leaders with Applement on the rail.

Things are beginning to get serious now with 27 remaining.
