Zipprich Goes Greenstein To Double

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Stephen Zipprich
Stephen Zipprich

Patrick Suzuki opened the action with a raise to 7,000 in early position and action folded around to the player on the button who asked to see Suzuki's stack before throwing in chips to call. Stephen Zipprich was next to act in the small blind and announced he was all in for what totaled to be exactly 50,000.

Suzuki quickly folded and the player on the button thought for close to a minute before making the call for nearly all of his chips and the two were off to the races.

Stephen Zipprich: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Zipprich wasn't upset to see he was in a coin flip situation but neither the flop {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} nor the turn {4-Spades} were of any help to him, leaving him with just one chance left at staying alive in the tournament. Luckily for him, the river {a-Clubs} was exactly what he needed and he scored the double, bringing him over six figures in the process.

Glycenfer Chipping Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ian Glycenfer
Ian Glycenfer

Action was heads up with over 10,000 in the middle on a flop of {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and an under-the-gun player check-called a bet of 6,000 from Ian Glycenfer, who was on her direct left.

"What are you doing?" asked the under-the-gun player as the turn came {2-Spades}. She checked

"I'm trying to get you off the hand but it's not working," responded Glycenfer as he checked behind. The river fell {q-Clubs}.

"Go ahead," said the under-the-gun player as she checked again. Glycenfer fired out 18,800 and the under-the-gun player folded, showing {7-Clubs} face up as she accused Glycenfer of hitting a queen on the river.

"Can't you at least show me I'm right?" asked Glycenfer's opponent. Glycenfer's body language said he was good all along and he knew it.

"I did have a queen," he added as he raked in the pot to take him up to about 123,500 in chips early in Level 11.

Wright Knocks Out Deitz

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Dana Deitz went all in for his last 11,1000 in the hijack upon action being folded to him.

"I'll call," said Keith Wright from the cutoff, prompting all remaining players to fold.

Dana Deitz: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Keith Wright: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Deitz found himself with two live cards but with no live hearts to go with them. The flop {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} left him drawing even thinner and in need of running cards to stay alive. The turn {j-Diamonds} dashed what little hope was left, leaving Deitz drawing dead as the river came {8-Clubs} to result in his departure from the tournament area.
