Auker, Bryan Bust

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

Action folded to small blind Chuck Costanzo, who moved all in with a stack that covered Ken Auker's 370,000 or so. Auker quickly called, showing {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

"Two live ones," Costanzo said, turning over {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

A {7-Clubs} door card was bad for Auker, but it was followed by {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} to widen Auker's lead. The {k-Spades} turn was a brick, but a {7-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Costanzo trips.

"Son of a b****," Auker muttered shoving his stacks over to his neighbor in frustration.

At another table, Jeff Bryan busted out.

Set Over Set for Ficek

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

Two players were all in at one of the tables, with Mike Lang having put a chunk into the pot also but electing to fold {9-}{9-}.

Darren Ficek: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Chuck Costanzo: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, leaving Lang ruing his good fold. A {q-Clubs} turn meant Costanzo had binked his two outer. The dealer burned and turned the river, and it was an {a-Clubs}, giving Ficek top set and the pot in the roller coaster hand.

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

Yossi Azulay shoved all in for 162,000 and was called by David Gutfreund. Azulay had {a-}{7-} and was unable to run down the {a-}{j-} of Gutfreund.

The next hand, action folded to Amy Muller on the button, and she jammed with {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} as well. This time, it was Chuck Costanzo making the call, with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Costanzo kept his lead as the {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flopped, but an {a-Diamonds} gave Muller a flush draw. The {q-Spades} sealed it for Constanzo with two pair.

Todd Breyfogle
Todd Breyfogle

Ken Auker opened to 38,000 and then called a three-bet to 76,000 from Nick Jivkov, who was in middle position. Auker then bet out 45,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, and Jivkov made it 104,000 to go.

"Alright, I'll believe you," Auker said, mucking {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} face-up. Jivkov showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

At another table, Phil Mader stacked Todd Breyfogle's chips as the latter headed for the payouts.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Gutfreund: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}

A {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} community spelled the end for Gutfreund's opponent.
