McMaster Wins a Monster to Pull Out to Big Chip Lead

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

Day 1b chip leader Derek McMaster opened for 53,000 under the gun and received a call. Tyler Holbrook then called, and did the big blind, and four players took a flop of {k-Clubs}{j-}{x-}. The big blind checked, McMaster continued for 120,000, and after the in-between player folded, Holbrook called.

The big blind folded and it was heads-up action to the {9-Clubs} turn. McMaster shipped, and Holbrook snap-called off for 380,000.

McMaster: {k-}{q-}
Holbrook: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Both players held a pair of kings, but McMaster held the better kicker. That said, Holbrook had a club draw. Unfortunately for him, it didn't come in as a {9-} blanked on the river. Holbrook exited in 25th place.

Bujorian & Campbell Bust

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

After Phil Bujorian was eliminated from the tournament in 27th place, Michael Campbell followed him out the door in 26th.

Campbell fell after getting his short stack all in preflop against Kyle Wagner.

Wagner: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Campbell: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop was dry for Campbell, but the {A-Spades} turn at least delivered him a flush draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {2-Diamonds}. Campbell missed and made his way to the payout desk.

Start-of-the-Day Chip Leader Sent to the Rail in 32nd Place

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

Bobby Sanoubane, who won the $360 MSPT Regional here at Golden Gates last week, began Day 2 as the chip leader among the returning 87 players. His run just came to an end.

Sanoubane, who fired four bullets into this tournament, open-shipped from early position for 185,000 and two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner David Warga moved all in over the top for 260,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Sanoubane discovered the bad news.

Sanoubane: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Warga: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Both players paired up on the {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop, but of course Warga's kings kept him in the lead. Neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor {2-Spades} river helped Sanoubane, and he made his way to the payout desk in 32nd place to collect $2,474.

Sixes Do the Trick for Clarke

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

George Clarke got his stack of 224,000 all in preflop and found himself at risk against Michael Campbell.

Campbell: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Clarke: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

It was a flip, and Clarke was just looking to hold to notch the double. That's exactly what happened as the board ran out {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Meanwhile, Chris Maxwell was eliminated from the tournament.
