Givens Folds the River

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found William Givens betting 19,000 against a lone opponent on a flop of {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The player in the hijack decided to raise to 38,000, and Givens called. A {7-Spades} turn made the board especially scary, and both players checked. On the {a-Hearts} river, Givens checked again and watched the hijack fire 50,000. Givens thought for about a minute and counted out calling chips before ultimately folding.

Paules Vaults to Lead

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Rosie Paules has a monster stack.
Rosie Paules has a monster stack.

Rosie Paules just dragged the biggest pot of the tournament when she got all in after a {j-}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop with {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} against a player holding {j-}{j-} for top set. Paules turned additional outs when a {7-} hit the board, and an {8-Hearts} river meant she had filled both of her draws to bust her unfortunate opponent.

Dreyfuss Wakes Up Against Fielder

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jeff Fielder busted just short of the money.
Jeff Fielder busted just short of the money.

Action folded to Jeff Fielder, who jammed for about 50,000 from the cutoff. The next two players folded, but Dan Dreyfuss immediately called upon peaking at his cards.

Dreyfuss: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Fielder: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

"All I need's a jack," Fielder said, painting the picture in a rather positive light.

Unfortunately for Fielder, he found no jacks on the {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Spades} runout.

Vang Barreling on Bubble

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Kelly Whitlock felt the pressure on the river.
Kelly Whitlock felt the pressure on the river.

Kelly Whitlock bet 25,000 out of the big blind on a {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop against Kou Vang in early position. Vang made the call, and Whitlock checked to him on the {j-Diamonds} turn. Vang fired 38,000, and Whitlock quickly called. The dealer burned and turned an {a-Spades}, and Whitlock checked. Vang put her all in for about 130,000, and she folded relatively quickly.

The tournament is now being played hand-for-hand.

Bubble Bursts

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A player shoved all in from early position with 31,000, and Eric Loehr and Ally Woolworth called from the cutoff and big blind, respectively. After a flop of {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Loehr and Woolworth got it all in on the side.

Woolworth: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Loehr: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Early position: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The unfortunate short stack had just one out to survive, while Woolworth had a flush draw against Loehr's set. The turn was a {4-Diamonds}, opening up chop possibilities, but the {6-Clubs} river secured the pot for Loehr.

River Kind to Bohn

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Milton Amira is going to need another massage after that beat.
Milton Amira is going to need another massage after that beat.

Milton Amira opened for a raise to 23,000 in the hijack, and Blake Bohn three-bet to 60,000 on the button. Amira shoved, and Bohn called.

Bohn: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Amira: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Bohn rapped the table upon seeing his opponent's hand, and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, keeping the queens best. A {k-Hearts} was a blank, but the dealer ended the hand by placing the {8-Diamonds} down. Bohn had Amira easily covered.

A player at the table said he folded a hand with an eight in it.
