Crawshaw Takes From Colaneri

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Three ways to the {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} turn Hamish Crawshaw bet 14,100 and Christopher Colaneri called for more than half of his remaining stack while the third player in the hand sent his cards into the muck. The {3-Hearts} on the river was checked and Colaneri sighed, flashed {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a busted nut flush draw.

Crawshaw had that beat with the {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a full house and scooped the pot.

One for Lassau

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Carlos Gonzalez raised to 2,400 from under the gun and Jacob Horowitz called in the middle position. Mark Lassau three-bet to 6,400 in the small blind for both Gonzalez and Horowitz to make the call.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Lassau checked, Gonzalez continued with a bet of 3,500 and Horowitz raised to 10,000. Lassau called while Gonzalez reluctantly folded.

They both checked through the {10-Diamonds} on the turn to the {j-Clubs} on the river. Lassau now barreled a bet of 24,000 over the line for Horowitz to fold to.

Young No More

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Glenn Young shoved from the late position for around 21,000 and was called by Carlos Gonzalez in the small blind.

Glenn Young: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Carlos Gonzalez: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for Gonzalez to stay ahead with the higher hole cards to eliminate Young.

Shortly after, Justin Layden filled the empty seat.

Monster Pot for Gonzalez Before the Break

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Carlos Gonzalez
Carlos Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez raised to 2,800 from the late position and was called by Jacob Horowitz in the cutoff. Steve Pappas three-bet to 12,500 on the button for the blinds to fold. Gonzalez called and Horowitz folded.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}, Gonzalez check-raised the 18,000 continuation-bet of Pappas to 35,000 which Pappas called.

The turn brought them the {9-Spades}, Gonzalez bet 35,000 again and now Pappas shoved for Gonzalez to snap-call.

Steve Pappas: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Carlos Gonzalez: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Pappas held the overpair but Gonzalez had turned the nut-flush. Gonzalez cheered loudly when he saw the cards as Pappas was drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {7-Hearts} as a formality as Pappas was sent to the rail and Gonzalez jumped into the chip lead.

Mehmet Eliminated by Horowitz

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jake Mehmet
Jake Mehmet

Over on the feature table, Jake Mehmet got his stack of 45,100 in before the flop and he was called by Jacob Horowitz with the dominating stack and superior hand.

Jake Mehmet: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Jacob Horowitz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop opened up some split opportunities while the {5-Diamonds} turn was a bad card for Mehmet. He found no help on the blank {10-Hearts} river and pushed his chips over to his table neighbor before departing from the tournament area.
