Rooster's Back in the Barn

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Rooster Oien ran into rockets.
Rooster Oien ran into rockets.

We found Jason Smith with a bet of 40,000 in front of him on a {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. Rooster Oien announced all in, and Smith snap-called.

Oien: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Smith: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The dealer brought out a sweat card: the {q-Diamonds}, giving Oien a flush draw. It wasn't to be, however, as an {8-Spades} completed the board and ended his tournament.

Zekus Rockets Up Counts

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Zekus pushes all in with kings.
Brian Zekus pushes all in with kings.

In a pot that occurred during the last level, Brian Zekus dragged a huge three-way all in with {k-}{k-} against a player holding {q-}{q-} and another with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

More recently, he opened to 16,000 in early position and got three-bet shoved on by a player in the cutoff for 82,000. Zekus called.

Zekus: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The cutoff got up after the {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} gave Zekus a flush draw. The {3-Clubs} hit the turn, and the {q-Hearts} the river, eliminating the cutoff from contention and putting Zekus over the 500k mark.

Smith Gets There Twice

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found Jason Smith putting a player all in after a flop of {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}. His opponent made the call.

Smith: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts} shipping Smith a lock immediately. An {a-Clubs} hit the river, making him an even bigger straight.

Ahmann Busts Dahlin

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Dahlin moved all in from the button in an unopened pot for 30,000, and Al Ahmann reshoved in the small blind. The big blind folded.

Ahmann: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Dahlin: {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Dahlin turned a gutter when the first four came {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, but a {2-Diamonds} river sent him to the rail.

Redraw

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

In the last before the break, a couple of players went busto, and we're now in the money. Players are redrawing and tournament staff are chipping up the purple T500 chips.

Hohenstein Hammers Dahlin to Short Stack

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ryan Hohenstein flopped a set against AA.
Ryan Hohenstein flopped a set against AA.

Three players saw the flop in a raised pot, and raiser Scott Sitron fired 30,000 on a {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop from under the gun. Adam Dahlin called in the cutoff, and Ryan Hohenstein check-shipped from the big blind for 120,000. Sitron folded, and Dahlin quickly called.

Dahlin: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Hohenstein: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Dahlin had flatted aces and paid the price, as he now had two outs against Hohenstein's set. The {k-Clubs} gave Dahlin more outs with a straight draw, but the {9-Hearts} was no help.

The players are on a 10-minute break.
