Galloway Gets Paid

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The full community was face-up, with {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} on the felt and James Galloway bet 40,000 into a pot that was just under 50,000.

Brandon Lulov thought for quite a while before making the decision to call, and Galloway flipped over {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for two pair.

"Good hand," said Lulov as he shipped his cards into the muck, sending a large chunk of his stack over to Galloway who now is amongst the leaders of this flight.

Penza Flips for Tournament Life

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chase Griesbach opened to 4,000 from the hijack and Thomas Penza three-bet shoved for a total of 20,000 from the small blind. Blake Barousse jammed over the top, totaling 31,500 and Griesbach folded.

Thomas Penza: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Blake Barousse: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The classic flip turned into a one-sided affair when Penza pulled a rocket on the {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop to take the lead. The {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} runout cemented it for Penza who lived to see another day.

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jason Obinger opened to 3,200 from under the gun and Michael Jozoff called in the hijack. Preston Duron shoved 27,200 on the button and David Mzareulov jammed over the top. Obinger and Jozoff folded.

Preston Duron: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
David Mzareulov: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board came down {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Mzareulov held strong to take it down, dropping Duron from the event just before break.

Lulov Doubles Through Noori

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The stacks were in the middle and Michael Noori had a few thousand more than Brandon Lulov who was sitting just under the 30,000 mark.

Brandon Lulov: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Michael Noori: {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The board rolled out {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Lulov secured a double, leaving Noori short.

James Galloway opened the next hand to 3,600 and Dudley Miller shoved for a total of 21,600. Noori called for his remaining few thousand and Galloway folded.

Michael Noori: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Dudley Miller: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The window jack quickly had Noori stand up but the dealer then fanned out {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, giving him some outs to survive. One of those outs hit on the turn when a {6-Spades} rolled out and Miller was then drawing dead to the river.
