Michael Jozoff
Michael Jozoff

The turned board read {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and there were around 170,000 chips in the pot. Michael Jozoff pushed 275,000 and Eider Da Cruz started to think.

Ultimately, Cruz called and Jozoff turned over {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flopped six. It was not enough when Cruz showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, giving him an over pair.

The board completed with a {9-Spades} and Cruz took down the pot, eliminating the Day 1c chipleader from the field here on Day 2.

Joshua Hernandez: {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The flop hit Juntunen with three snowmen, having the dealer spread {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} out. A {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} runout cemented it for Juntunen who lived to see another day here in Event 4.

Sterner Sets the Trap, Lujan Bites

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Marcus Sterner
Marcus Sterner

Marcus Sterner and Jimmy Lujan both had 90,000 in front of them when the dealer scooped in the pot. A flop of {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts} landed on the felt and Sterner checked his action to Lujan who shoved for around 220,000. Sterner snap-called and Lujan quickly stood up, knowing he might be in trouble.

Jimmy Lujan: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Marcus Sterner: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Sterner flopped a boat and Lujan was in trouble. The {q-Clubs} turn sealed it for Sterner, taking away all possible chop pots with his newly acquired quads and Lujan was then drawing dead to the {10-Clubs} river.

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Medrano was in trouble. A {5-Hearts} peeled off on the turn and Medrano had one last chance for romance. Lady luck showed up for a date on the river, dropping a {j-Spades} to save his tournament life.
