Chow Folds to Zimcosky

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Bob Chow raised to 51,000 in middle position, and Brian Zimcosky defended his big blind. Zimcosky check-called another 51,000 on the {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, and both players checked after the {10-Diamonds} arrived. Zimcosky bet 145,000 on the {8-Diamonds} river, and Chow mucked his hand.

Mike Mustafa Eliminated in 8th Place ($6,629)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Mike Mustafa - 8th Place
Mike Mustafa - 8th Place

Mike Mustafa shoved all in for about 170,000 after action folded to him in late position, and Alex Kaufman called in the big blind the instant the small blind mucked.

"Aces?" someone said. "That sounded like aces."

Kaufman: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Mustafa: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"Nice playing with you guys," Mustafa said, before the flop came {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. "Yep, definitely nice playing with you guys."

Not so fast, as the {10-Clubs} turned to give Mustafa four outs to a winning straight. The {7-Spades} wasn't what he needed, though.

Kaufman Pays Off Big Zimcosky Bet

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Zimcosky opened to 40,000 in late position and was called by Alex Kaufman. Both players checked the flop, and the turn made the board {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Zimcosky bet 56,000, and Kaufman called. Zimcosky fired far bigger on the {5-Hearts} river: 170,000. Kaufman announced a call, and Zimcosky tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair on the flop.

"Nice hand," Kaufman said.

Zimcosky Doubles Through Mustafa

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Mustafa opened for 45,000 on the button, and Brian Zimcosky shoved all in for 326,000 in the small blind. Mustafa cut out the requisite chips, thought for about a minute, and called.

Zimcosky: {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Mustafa: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop was no help to Mustafa, and the {7-Hearts} turn likewise.

"Nice hand," he said softly just before the {a-Spades} completed the board.

Bryan Schultz Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,419)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Bryan Schultz - 9th Place
Bryan Schultz - 9th Place

Bryan Schultz open-shoved on the button with {10-Clubs}{6-Spades} and was called by big blind Brad Sailor, who held {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The door card was a {3-Diamonds} to give Sailor a set, followed by {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The {k-Spades} turn ended Schultz's hopes.

Mustafa Thinks He's Ahead, is Right

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Mustafa moved all in for 228,000 in early position, and William Luciano shoved over that two spots later, forcing everyone else out.

"I think I'm ahead," Mustafa said. His "intuition" was correct.

Mustafa: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Luciano: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

He was even farther ahead on the {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, and the {9-Hearts} ended things before the meaningless {a-Spades} hit the river.

Chow Picks Off Zimcosky's Small Bluff

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Bob Chow opened from middle position and was called by Brian Zimcosky in the big blind. Zimcosky check-called 41,000 on the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, and both players checked the {3-Clubs}. Zimcosky bet 53,000 on the {4-Clubs} river and was instantly called.

"Good call," he said, tossing {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} into the middle.

"That's exactly what I put you on," Chow said, flipping {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Luciano Caught Pushing With Air

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

William Luciano called a raise from Gerald Siemienas, and Siemienas checked to him on a {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. Luciano put him all in, and Siemienas snapped in.

Siemienas: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Luciano: {q-}{j-}

Luciano needed runner-runner, and the {4-Spades} turn ended even those hopes.
