Cashed But Gone

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

The following players busted out in the money:

Baime Turns Three-Outer Against Shorty

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Ken Baime opened for 14,000 on the button, and the small blind three-bet to 30,000. Baime put him all in for about 60,000 total, and the small blind called.

Baime: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The small blind moved as if to get up despite being far ahead, and the {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop kept him in the lead. Baime binked the {7-Diamonds} on the turn though, and he clinched the win with a {6-Hearts} river.

Idrovo Still Sinking

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Mike Deis raised from a middle position and got one call, Ritchie Idrovo in the big blind. We didn't catch the action on the {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop, but Idrovo bet out 22,000 on the {2-Clubs} turn. Deis made the call, and both players quickly checked the {8-Spades} river.

"I missed," Idrovo said.

Deis flipped {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and took the pot with ace-high.

Lanier Still Climbing

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Allen Lanier opened for a raise in early position and found two callers. After Matt Kirby checked the {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop out of the big blind, Lanier bet 25,000. Kirby called after the third player in the pot folded. On the {6-Clubs} turn, both players elected to check, and they did likewise when the {8-Hearts} hit the river.

Kirby showed down {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for an overpair, but Lanier had gotten lucky on the river with {8-Spades}{5-Spades} to make two pair.

Zimcosky Ousts Termini

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Philip Termini pushed all in with about 50,000, and Brian Zimcosky made the call from middle position. Everyone else folded.

Zimcosky: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Termini: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Termini had live cards, but a {j-}{5-}{4-}{a-}{8-} board left him dead by the turn.

Karakikov Bubbles Out

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Pavlin Karakikov misread his opponent on the bubble.
Pavlin Karakikov misread his opponent on the bubble.

With the tournament playing hand-for-hand, Pavlin Karakikov bet 15,000 after a {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Allen Lanier made the call from the button. A {6-Hearts} arrived on the turn, and Karakikov checked. Lanier pushed all in, covering his opponent's roughly 100,000 stack. After tanking for about two minutes, Karakikov decided to go with his hand.

Karakikov: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Lanier: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Unfortunately for the Day 1a chip leader, Lanier had him dead to two outs. The river brought a brick: {q-Clubs}, and Karakikov graciously wished his former tablemates good luck.

Players are now on a 10-minute break after a redraw.

Zimcosky Bets the River Big

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Ritchie Idrovo has lost a good chunk of his stack today.
Ritchie Idrovo has lost a good chunk of his stack today.

Ritchie Idrovo check-called a bet of 23,000 from Brian Zimcosky with the board reading {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The dealer placed a {10-Diamonds} on the board to complete the community, and Idrovo checked. Zimcosky bet 75,000, and Idrovo called fairly quickly. Zimcosky showed {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for trips, and he dragged the sizable pot.

Farima Busts Hammett

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Scott Hammett pushed his short stack all in from the button, and Gheorghe Farima called with {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} in the small blind. He had Hammett's {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} dominated, and Farima secured the hand when he flopped a pair of jacks.

Romer Folds Out Top Pair

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
"Wild" Bill Romer
"Wild" Bill Romer

The small blind raised to 17,500, and "Wild" Bill Romer made it 35,000 out of the big blind. His opponent tanked before making the call, and the two watched a {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop fall. Romer shoved for about 90,000 after his opponent checked, and the player thought for awhile before folding the {j-Hearts} face up.
