Winning Wheel for Marchese

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Tom Marchese on the button and he moved all in for his last 303,000. Max Altergott called from the big blind and the cards were turned up.

Marchese: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Altergott: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Marchese was ahead, but not after the {3-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop paired Altergott. Fortunately for Marchese, the {5-Hearts} turn gave him a winning wheel. The {2-Spades} was put out on the river to make it official, and then Marchese was pushed the pot.

One Drop High Roller Runner-Up Done in 12th Place

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Bill Klein
Bill Klein

Action folded to Bill Klein on the button, and the 2015 World Series of Poker $111,111 High Roller for One Drop runner-up raised to 70,000. The small blind folded, and then Andrew Robl pushed back with a three-bet to 175,000 from the big. Klein four-bet all in for roughly 950,000, and discovered the bad news when Robl snapped him off.

Klein: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Robl: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Klein was in need of a seven from heaven, but it wasn't in the cards as the board ran out {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Brutal River Sends Baron to the Rail

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Isaac Baron
Isaac Baron

David Peters raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and Isaac Baron defended his big blind. The {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop saw Baron check, and then call when Peters bet 83,000.

When the {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn, Baron checked and Peters bet 136,000. Baron sprung to life with an all-in check-raise to roughly 750,000, and Peters called.

Peters: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Baron: {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Baron had flopped top two, and he was primed to double. In fact, all he needed to do was dodge an ace on the river. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the {a-Hearts} spiked to send Baron out the door in 13th place.

Rast Running Hot

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Brian Rast just won a massive pot off Tom Marchese to take the chip lead, but he didn't stop there. Shortly thereafter, he made a set of sevens against Erik Seidel and had his big river bet paid off. With that, Rast moved up over 4.3 million in chips.

Then, Rast picked up pocket kings again. This time he called Ben Lamb's shove, and Lamb held the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Despite Lamb taking the lead on the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, the {5-Hearts} and {7-Clubs} followed to deliver a chopped pot.

Ship the Double to Altergott

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Andrew Robl in the small blind and he put in a big raise to 290,000, essentially putting the pressure on the short-stacked Max Altergott, who shoved from the big blind for 453,000. Robl called and the cards were turned up.

Altergott: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Robl: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Altergott was ahead, and he stayed in the lead as the board ran out {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

One for Robl

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and Andrew Robl defended from the big blind. Robl proceeded to check-call bets of 75,000 and 135,000 on the {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop and {2-Diamonds} turn, and then both players checked the {A-Diamonds} river. Robl showed the {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for two pair, and it was good as Drinan mucked his cards.

Huge Clash Lands Brian Rast a Pot of 3.8 Million

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Brian Rast (Day 1)
Brian Rast (Day 1)

Wow, wow, wow!

Up on the main feature table, Brian Rast and Tom Marchese just clashed in a huge pot worth over 3.8 million in chips. The result? Rast is now the chip leader of this event with 13 players left.

Scott Seiver started things off with a raise to 75,000 from the hijack seat. Play then folded over to Rast in the small blind, and he reraised to 225,000. Marchese was in the big blind and reraised to 540,000. After Seiver folded, Rast thought for a little bit before he moved all in for 1.855 million. Marchese checked back at his hand and called, creating the massive pot that would see one of these two take the chip lead.

Rast turned up the second best starting hand in poker, with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Marchese had a good starting hand of his own, but the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} he held was a bit dominated by Rast's hand.

The flop fell {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Rast's kings stayed in front. The {10-Hearts} on the turn didn't change much, and Marchese was still in need of an ace on the river.

The dealer burned and turned the {3-Hearts} for the river card, and that was not what Marchese had hoped for. He counted out the amount he owed from his stack and was left with about 375,000 in chips. Rast, on the other hand, boomed to over 3.8 million.

Straights Abound

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Max Altergott raised to 65,000 from the hijack and David Peters called from the cutoff. Isaac Baron came along from the big blind and then all three players checked the {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop as well as the {6-Clubs} turn. When the {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Peters bet 106,000 after both his opponents had checked.

Two calls followed, and Altergott tabled the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the low end of the straight. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Peters held a bigger one with the {8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}.
