Perez Gets a Fortunate Runout

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Juan Perez was in the small blind and called a raise to 450,000 from Cy Church, who was in the cutoff. Action went heads up to a flop of {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Perez checked to Church, who continuation-bet 775,000. Perez check-jammed and Church quickly called.

Juan Perez: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Cy Church: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Perez had seen his two overcards called by top pair, top kicker, leaving him with six outs and two chances at hitting. The turn {k-Diamonds} added seven more outs to that total, and the river {a-Hearts} came behind to improve him to Broadway and earn the double. His stack was counted to be 2.5 million and Church paid him off, surpassing him in the counts along the way.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Cy Church opened to 450,000 on the button and received a call from Jeff Heiberg, who defended his big blind.

"All in," he announced, sliding forward a stack of 3.2 million. Church thought for nearly four minutes and ultimately decided to release his hand, earning Heiberg the pot with his jam.

Vincent Moscati Eliminated in 5th Place ($14,371)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Vincent Moscati
Vincent Moscati

Cy Church pumped it up to 450,000 on the button and Vincent Moscati re-jammed for around 1.8 million in the small blind. Church immediately called and the two were off to the races.

Vincent Moscati: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Cy Church: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The race was over as quickly as it began, with the flop {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} giving Church quads. Moscati eventually improved to the second-nut flush as the turn {6-Clubs} and river {3-Clubs} completed the runout, but it was nothing more than a consolation prize for his fifth-place elimination.

Callanan Raises the River

Level 32 : 150,000/250,000, 40,000 ante

There was a limped blind-on-blind pot that saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Jeff Heiberg bet 600,000 in the small blind. James Callanan called in the big blind and the turn came {a-Spades}, where both players checked.

Heiberg fired out another 800,000 on the river {4-Hearts} and Callanan thought for close to a minute before sliding out a raise to 2 million.

Heiberg immediately shot his cards to the muck: "Nice hand...I suppose," he added as Callanan raked in the pot.

Cy Church
Cy Church

Cy Church opened the action with a raise to 550,000 and Juan Perez called in the small blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Perez checked to Church, who continuation-bet 650,000.

"All in," responded Perez, and Church quickly called.

Cy Church: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Juan Perez: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Church's overpair had run into bottom two pair and failed to further improve as the turn {4-Diamonds} and river {10-Spades} completed the runout. Perez's stack was totaled to be just over 6 million and Church had a bit over 5 million.

"He's got me," said Church, sliding over his stack. The three remaining players all congratulated him on a tournament well played and he made his way over to the payouts desk.

As the hand completed, time ran out in Level 32, and the remaining three players are now on a 10-minute break.
