Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Martens
Jason Martens

Jason Martens just busted another player, this time with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} against the {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} of Ilias Kellikidis after a flop that included both a jack and a three. Martens held onto his lead after the last two cards, and he's suddenly the chip leader.

Martens Busts Kroon, Ramos in Consecutive Hands

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Mark Kroon couldn't make good on his prediction.
Mark Kroon couldn't make good on his prediction.

Mark Kroon got the last of his chips all in preflop and was called in at least two spots. After the {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, Jason Martens bet 6,000 and was called by the button. Both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn, and a {j-Hearts} came on the river. Martens bet 5,000 and his opponent immediately called, not seeming pleased about it. Martens showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for aces up, while Kroon had just {10-Spades}{4-Spades} for ten-high.

The next hand, Jason Ramos shoved all in for about 20,000 and was called immediately by Martens. Everyone else folded.

Martens: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Ramos: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Ramos was in bad shape, and he couldn't catch up on the {j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} runout.

Kroon Crippled

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon
Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon

We caught the aftermath of an all-in pot that resulted in Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon losing nearly all of his stack. He had shown down {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against Steve Long's {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} on a board of {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and Long collected most of Kroon's chips with his superior kicker.

"Don't call it a comeback," Kroon said as he counted his remaining chips.

Kroon Puts Opponent at Risk

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mark Kroon bet 4,175 against two opponents on a flop of {8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Only the button came along, and both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. When a {k-Clubs} arrived on the river, Kroon immediately bet 10,000, about what the button had left. The player tanked for a couple of minutes before Kroon called the clock.

After about 30 seconds, the button folded {a-Spades} face up.

Eliminations

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

The following players busted during the first few levels:

Huss Sends Two to Rail

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Tim Huss got all in with fantastic equity.
Tim Huss got all in with fantastic equity.

We found three players all in after a flop of {3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Tim Huss: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Ghaleb Zayed: {a-}{a-}
Gary Bolton: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Two players had flopped trips, with Tim Huss holding a commanding lead with an ace that acted as both a kicker and a blocker to Zayed's outs. The {9-Hearts} and {7-Clubs} were harmless bricks to complete the board, and Huss eliminated two opponents.
