Chip Counts Before Break

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

Morfe Doubles Through Dodson

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

Erasmus Morfe got all in from middle position for 25,000 and received action from Ryan Dodson, who was on the button.

Erasmus Morfe: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Ryan Dodson: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Morfe hit a nine on the flop {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} and faded the two outer on both the turn {q-Hearts} and river {4-Spades} to earn the double. Dodson was down to his last 10,000 and was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Garcia Eliminates a Player

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Devin Garcia
Devin Garcia

Devin Garcia limped in from early position and another player limped in behind in middle position. Action folded around to the small blind, who completed before the big blind went all in for around 20,000. Garcia called and the other two players folded.

All-In Player: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Devin Garcia: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to give Garcia top set. Both players tapped the felt for different reasons and the big blind stood up as the dealer brought the turn {3-Hearts}. It gave Garcia a sweat at fading running outs to a wheel, but the river {a-Spades} was safe and scored him the pot and the knockout.

Walker Gives Caughey a Cold Shower

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

Matthew Caughey went all in for 27,000 in early position and action made its way over to Shawn Walker in middle position. He confirmed the amount and hen called. All remaining players folded and Caughey caught the bad news.

Matthew Caughey: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Shawn Walker: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} with Caughey missing the three possible cards that could have given him a chop to keep him alive in the tournament. Meanwhile, Walker now finds himself north of 100,000 with Level 11 soon coming to a close.

Onom Wins Regardless of Controversy

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joel Verbeck
Joel Verbeck

Altanulzii Onom opened the action with a raise to 5,000 in middle position and was called by Joel Verbeck in the small blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Verbeck checked. Onom made a continuation-bet of 5,000 and Verbeck called.

Both players checked the turn {k-Diamonds} to bring the river {7-Clubs} and Verbeck put out a bet of 6,000. Onom dropped one T100 chip out onto the felt and quietly announced he was all in.

Verbeck thought Onom had called and tabled {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the bluff. Meanwhile, Onom thought his shove had been called and tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The floor was called and four players at the table confirmed they heard Onom say he was all in, making that the ruling.

Verbeck folded, exclaiming the ruling was "bull shit." He chose to only commit the 6,000 either way and folded his tabled second-best hand. The pot was sent to Onom, resulting in the same outcome regardless of how it came to be.
