Four-Flushed Queens vs. Queens

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alexander Ahmed and Keven Stammen
Alexander Ahmed and Keven Stammen

In a sick hand on the bubble, WPT champ Keven Stammen was all in for 95,500 and at risk against Alexander Ahmed.

Alexander Ahmed: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Keven Stammen: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Both players had the ladies and it seemed things were destined for a chop. Lady luck had other plans for Stammen though as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to give him the runner-runner club flush and the double.

Semanisin Eliminated With Aces Two Off of the Money

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Miroslav Semanisin
Miroslav Semanisin

Miroslav Semanisin was in the cutoff and pushed his last 42,500 in the middle. Ekrem Bozkurt was next to act and called.

Ekrem Bozkurt: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Miroslav Semanisin: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Semanisin was in good shape to get the double up but the {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} flop had him sweating for his tournament life. The {5-Diamonds} was a brick but the {2-Spades} sent Semanisin home two places off of the money. The players are now on the stone bubble.

Ojeda Sets the Trap

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Lou Ojeda
Lou Ojeda

Justin Lee opened the action with a raise to 15,000, Lou Ojeda was next to act and called. The cutoff and the big blind came along as well.

Lee put out a continuation bet of 30,000 when the flop came {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Ojeda clicked it to 60,000. The next two players folded and Lee quickly moved all in for 87,000. Ojeda called and they turned their cards over.

Lou Ojeda: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Justin Lee: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The {k-Diamonds} turn was an interesting one as Ojeda turned a set and Lee picked up a flush draw. The {9-Clubs} river paired the board and Ojeda improved to a full house to send Lee to the rail.

Branislav Urosev: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Kevin Smiley: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

It was a sweat after the flop as it came {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} to give Smiley a gut shot. He was unable to hit that gut shot as the board ran out {5-Hearts} and {9-Diamonds} to give Urosev the double.

Brandon Estrada: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Richardson Coolers Pimpedly Early on Day 2

A player opened to 12,000 from early position and Ian Richardson three-bet to 28,500 from middle position. Justin Pimpedly was next to act and put in a four-bet to 60,000. The original raiser folded and Richardson moved his stack of 93,000 into the middle. Pimpedly called.

Justin Pimpedly: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Ian Richardson: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Richardson was in great shape to double up and that didn't change after the flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The {3-Hearts} turn left Pimpedly with zero outs. The {8-Spades} river completed the board and Richardson got the full double up.

Blake Luther
Blake Luther

Action folded to James Cornell on the button and Blake Luther three-bet all in for 50,500 from the small blind. Cornell thought long and hard before making the call for about half his stack.

Blake Luther: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
James Cornell: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

It was a flip and Luther was looking to hold to stay alive. That's exactly what he did as the board ran out a clean {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}.
