Other Counts from Table 12

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mader Puts Vicious Beat on Johnson

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

Aaron Johnson shoved for about 80,000 over a raise and a call, and Phil Mader reshipped from his left in the small blind. Everyone else folded.

Mader: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Johnson: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Mader was crushed, but the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop offered some hope with a gutshot. The {9-Hearts} turn was close but no help, but a {10-Hearts} turn was exactly what Mader needed, giving him the nut straight, a brutal end for Johnson.

Kirby Rolling the Table

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Judd Greenagel
Judd Greenagel

Judd Greenagel said he jammed 17 big blind over a Matt Kirby open with the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} but Kirby snapped him off with {k-}{q-} and held.

Shortly thereafter, we found Kirby putting two players at risk preflop. The player on the button had a very short stack and moved in, with Kirby in the small blind putting that player at risk, as well as Max Bergquist, who had about 100,000 in the big blind.

Kirby: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Bergquist: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Button: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Nobody hit anything as the community came {5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}, shipping the pot to Kirby, who has taken the chip lead.

Mader Finds Final King

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Mader
Phil Mader

A player in middle position raised to 35,000, and Phil Mader shoved for about 118,000. The middle player called off for around 70,000 total.

Mader: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}, safe for the Nebraskan. The {a-Hearts} turn was a brutal one for him, and he was left in disbelief at seemingly taking another beat. However, the dealer brought out the {k-Clubs}, Mader's only out, on the river.

Larry Ormson was down to just 2,000 and got it in with {k-}{5-}. He was called by both blinds, who checked it down. One of them made a pair with {j-}{8-}, and Ormson was eliminated in 28th place.
