Albert Kant raised from the button to 34,000 preflop. Ryan Perez folded in the small blind and John Kurfman wanted to see Kant's remaining chips.

After he saw the remaining stack, Kurfman called from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Kurfman checked. Kant bet 32,000 and Kurfman called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked.

Kurfman took down the pot when he led for 80,000 after the {j-Hearts} hit the river.

Zal Irani Defends Big Blind, Brian Zupancich Eliminated in 26th Place ($2,564)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Zal Irani
Zal Irani

Brian Zupancich shoved all in from the cutoff into Zal Irani's big blind. Irani called with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was behind against Zupancich's {a-}{8-}.

The dealer dealt out the flop face down and when he turned it over, the top card was the {q-Spades}. He hesitated for a second, seeming to let it linger a little before revealing the rest of the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. The rest of the board ran out {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and that was the end of Zupancich's day.

Greg Seif

Greg Seif was sitting at 30,000 right around the time the bubble burst. He is now up to 365,000 after winning several hands in a row.

On this hand, Marius Toderici raised preflop to 18,000. Seif called from the cutoff and the two players would see the flop heads up.

The flop was {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Toderici bet 24,000. Seif called quickly. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Toderici checked. Seif shoved without much of a thought. Toderici had to take a few minutes before finally folding.
