Smith Eliminates Brady

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

Mike Brady open-shoved for 38,500 from the hijack, and Chris Smith called on the button.

Mike Brady: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Chris Smith: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Board: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Smith hit two pair on the flop, but still had to dodge a royal flush draw that developed for Brady. The turn and river gave Brady no help, however, and his Day 1b run is over on Level 12.

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

Perhaps the craziest hand of the tournament so far unfolded on Level 12, with Anthony Carlton reaping the benefits.

Carlton and three opponents got all-in preflop, with Carlton holding {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The board ran out {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and Carlton managed to get the best of {a-Spades}{10-Spades}, {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, and {a-}{k-}.

The big pot left Carlton with plenty of chips to play with, as he now owns a 133,000 stack.

Brady Boosts the Stack

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

The under-the-gun player opened to 4,500, and got four callers.

Action checked to an early position player, who bet 10,500 on the {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. Mike Brady shoved for 21,000 from the big blind, and the early position player called.

Mike Brady: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Early Position: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

The turn {10-Clubs} and river {7-Clubs} clinched the hand for Brady, allowing him to get back up to 68,000 chips.
