Yeng Capped

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Yang Yeng found himself all in preflop and flipping for his tournament life against John Cap.

Yang Yeng: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
John Cap: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

It was a race and Yeng was looking to improve, which he did on the {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for him, the dealer burned and turned the {6-Clubs} to give Cap a set. The {4-Clubs} river was meaningless and Yeng bowed out in 38th place for $2,455.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

William Chao raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and called when MSPT champ Jason Seitz three-bet jammed for around 120,000 from the button.

William Chao: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Seitz: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Seitz had the inferior ace and things didn't look good after the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The {10-Spades} turn was a gin card for Seitz as he took the lead, but the {j-Clubs} river was a dagger through his heart as Chao paired his kicker to score the knockout.

Seitz was eliminated in 41st place for $2,455.

Dodson Slips Back Into Six Figures

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Tom Sundling was all in preflop for 87,000 and flipping for his tournament life against chip leader Ryan Dodson.

Ryan Dodson: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Tom Sundling: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop vaulted Dodson into the lead but it was shortlived as the {9-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to give Sundling a set. Dodson was drawing dead and watched the pot pushed to Sundling after the {10-Spades} was run out on the river.

After the under-the-gun player limped, MSPT champ Max Havlish moved all in for 179,000 from the hijack. Chip leader Ryan Dodson then jammed over the top from the cutoff and the limper folded.

Max Havlish: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Ryan Dodson: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Havlish was best and his cowboys successfully held as the board ran out a safe {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}.
