Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dominic Romero
Dominic Romero

Under the gun raised it up to 3,200 and Dominic Romero called in the hijack. The flop dropped {6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and the under-the-gun player continuation-bet 4,000. Romero threw in a raise to 14,000.

"You don't wanna slow play your king?" asked the player. Romero shook his head no. "No? Really?"

"Okay," the player added after another half a minute, sending his cards to the muck to earn Romero the pot.

Gonzales Eliminates a Short Stack; Martinez Loses a Coin Flip

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Elenna Martinez
Elenna Martinez

Hand #1: Danny Gonzales pumped it up to 2,600 in early position and a player on the button re-jammed. Gonzales received confirmation of the amount, totaling 8,000, and made the call.

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Danny Gonzales: {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} left the all-in player out in front, but Gonzales made a pair on the turn {q-Spades}.

"Ace," requested the all-in player. "Or jack," he added. Neither came as {2-Spades} completed the runout and Gonzales took down the pot.

Hand #2: On the very next hand, under the gun raised to 3,000 and Elenna Martinez re-jammed in the hijack for 16,500. Action folded back to her opponent and he called.

Elenna Martinez: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Under the Gun: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Martinez needed to hit an ace or jack to have a shot but found herself in bad shape after the flop {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} despite doing just that. The turn {6-Clubs} gave her four outs at a better full house, but the river {7-Diamonds} left her dry and eliminated her from the tournament.

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

Alex Prompovitch opened in early position and called a re-jam from a player in middle position for just under 25,000 once action got back to him.

All-In Player: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Alex Prompovitch: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to give Prompovitch's opponent top pair, but with 12 outs of his own to hit.

"Always gotta make it interesting," said tablemate Nader Wahdan. Prompovitch then added five more outs to his total on the turn {10-Diamonds}, causing even more excitement among hte table before the river landed {a-Spades} to put Prompovitch back on top when all was said and done.

Wise Gives a Cold Welcome

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

Frank Wise opened to 5,000 in middle position and was called by the small blind. The big blind then shipped in a fresh stack of 23,500, minus his big-blind ante, and Wise made the call with the small blind folding behind.

All-In Player: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Frank Wise: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The all-in player found himself with 10 outs after the flop {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, but the turn {3-Clubs} and river {8-Diamonds} failed to connect and he was quickly sent to the rail.

"I wonder how long he waited to do that," said another player at the table once the eliminated player had left the immediate area.

Lopez Doubles With Tens

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

A player in early position limped in before Carlos Lopez announced he was all in for just above starting stack from the hijack. The cutoff re-jammed for slightly more, and all remaining players folded.

Carlos Lopez: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Lopez wound up holding and ultimately making a full house as the board ran out {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to score the double and leave his opponent on fumes in the process.

Schiffer Showers a Shorty

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

A player jammed for 9,600 in middle position and the cutoff called, as did Rich Schiffer in the big blind. Schiffer then fired out 10,000 into the side pot on {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} to force the cutoff out of the pot.

All-In Player: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Rich Schiffer: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Schiffer's top pair, top kicker had two outs to fade and saw low, but safe cards come as the turn {4-Diamonds} and river {2-Spades} completed the runout to earn him the pot and take him over 100K in the process.
