Dan O'Hair
Dan O'Hair
Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stephen Song opened to 24,000 in the cutoff with 7♦6♦ and Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 72,000 on the button holding A♠K♦. It was folded back to Song, who called.

Song check-called a 40,000 bet from Nitsche on the J♥7♥2♥ flop and then both players checked on the 3♦ turn and 5♦ river.

Song showed his pair and Nitsche mucked to award Song the pot.

Action folded to the blinds, where Stephen Song shoved from the small blind. Gary Thompson called all in for his last 178,000 in the big blind and the board was run.

Gary Thompson: Q♦J♣All in
Stephen Song: 9♦5♦

Thompson had the best of it, but the 5♣10♥5♠Q♣8♥ runout left Song with trips to send Thompson out a few spots shy of the final table.

Renji Mao was already forced all in for his last 4,000 in the big blind and Yisha Chen raised to 35,000 on the button. Lei Yu then three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind with A♠Q♣ and Chen four-bet to 300,000. Yu let his hand go and a showdown was held between Mao and Chen.

Renji Mao: 9♥9♣All in
Yisha Chen: K♣K♠

Mao woke up with a real hand, but would still need some help against Chen's cowboys. The 2♣4♥6♥8♣8♠ runout changed nothing, however, and Mao was eliminated.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

First to act on the outer table, Gavin pushed all-in for 130,000 and Ami Barer called from two seats over.

Gavin: A♠Q♥ All in
Ami Barer: A♣J♠

Gavin retained his lead on the Q♦10♣9♦ flop but Barer now had more outs than preflop with his open-ended straight draw. Nothing changed on the 7♦ turn and 9♣ river for Gavin to double.

Renji Mao opened to 20,000 first to act and action folded to Dominik Nitsche, who shoved for 179,000 in the small blind. Mao tanked for a bit, but eventually said, "Gamble!" and slammed his chips into the middle.

Dominik Nitsche: A♥K♥All in
Renji Mao: A♠J♣

The 8♦10♦J♥ flop looked like Mao's gamble paid off, but the 5♠Q♦ runout improved Nitsche to Broadway and he doubled up through Mao, who was left with just 3,000.

Marius Gierse shoved for his last 75,000 on the button and Yisha Chen flatted from the small blind. Christopher Park then shoved for 209,000 from the big blind and Chen snap-called to put both players at risk.

Marius Gierse: A♥5♥All in
Christopher Park: 9♥9♦All in
Yisha Chen: A♣A♠

It was a perfect scenario for Chen, and the K♠7♠J♣10♥2♦ runout came clean for Chen, who scored the double elimination late in the evening.

Barer "Fucks With Cates' Blinds"

Ami Barer raised to 21,000 and Taylor Black called on the button. Dan Cates in the small blind gave some small talk before he raised to 90,000 and that sent Barer into the tank.

"If you go all-in, I might not fold," Cates warned Barer who needed some time banks to act still.

"That's what you get for fucking with my blinds," Cates continued and Barer smirked, then replied "you fucked with mine first". One time bank later, Barer jammed and Black folded while Cates snap-called.

Ami Barer: A♠Q♠ All in
Dan Cates: K♠K♦

The Q♦6♦5♣ flop gave Barer more outs and Cates stated "you got a chance".

After the A♥ turn, Barer took the lead and Cates churned out a very dry "you got a great chance" ahead of the J♣ river, which confirmed the double for Barer worth 181,000 total.

Yisha Chen raised to 20,000 from the hijack with the K♥J♣ and Stephen Song just flat-called with the J♠J♥ on the button as they headed to the J♦6♦4♣ flop. Chen continued for 26,000 and Song continued his slow-play with another call prior to the 6♣ turn.

This slowed down Chen and she checked, Song checked behind to the 8♣ on the river. Chen checked again and Song bet 125,000 into 117,000 and Chen mulled it over for a short time to then pay it off.

Nitsche Lets it Go After Accidentally Revealing Hand

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and James Mendoza three-bet to 80,000 on the button. Action folded back to Nitsche, who called and turned his hand over — Qx10♠ — mistakently thinking Mendoza was all in. The floor ruled it as a call and to play as normal.

Nitsche check-called a 75,000 bet from Mendoza on the J♠5♠2♠ turn, which got a chuckle from his tablemates, but check-folded facing another 75,000 bet from Mendoza on the Q♠ turn.

Mendoza graciously turned over K♠Q♦ before collecting the pot.
