Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante
Keith Tilson
Keith Tilson

Jake Schindler opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Cary Katz just called in the cutoff. Keith Tilston was in the big blind and moved all in for around 190,000. Schindler quickly mucked his cards and Katz called rather quickly.

Cary Katz: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Keith Tilston: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Tilston looked poised to double up. The dealer burned and turned the {k-Clubs} and Katz jumped out front with a pair of kings. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and Tilston was sent to the rail in ninth place.

David Peters Eliminated in 10th Place ($20,100)

Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

Brent Hanks opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Ryan Riess called from the cutoff. David Peters shipped all in for 190,000 in the small blind and the action folded back to Riess, who quickly made the call.

Ryan Riess: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
David Peters: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Peters was ahead with the superior pocket pair but he was up against a red-hot Riess. The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Peters still held onto the lead. However, the {7-Spades} on the turn gave Riess a set of sevens and the {7-Hearts} on the river was just salt in the wound for Peters. Riess improved to quads and Peters was eliminated in 10th place.

Rainer Kempe Bursts the Money Bubble

Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

Jake Schindler opened to 32,000 from the hijack. Rainer Kempe counted out his chips while scoping out the other table before he shipped all in for 200,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back around to Schindler who made the call.

Jake Schindler: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Rainer Kempe: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Kempe found himself flipping for his tournament life on the bubble. The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the German pro was in dire straits with Schindler holding the best hand and a flush draw. The {4-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal and insignificant {10-Spades} completed the board. Kempe was eliminated on the money bubble and the remaining 10 players are all guaranteed at least $20,100.

Lucky Ducks for Riess

Ryan Riess limped in from the small blind and Dan Smith made it 42,000 to go from the big blind. Riess called and then checked when the flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Smith continued for 25,000 and Riess check-raised to 68,000. Smith called to see the {2-Hearts} pair the board on the turn.

Riess checked this time and Dan Smith pushed in a bet of 140,000. Riess check-raised all in for 423,000 and Smith made the call. Riess tabled {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for quad deuces and Smith was left drawing dead with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. When the chips were counted, Smith was left with just 3,000 and would go on to bust on the next hand.

Riess started his journey up the leaderboard when he flopped a set of deuces earlier on in the day. Along with Smith, Adrian Mateos left his seat after he busted to Jake Schindler, leaving just 11 players remaining. The two tables will now be hand-for-hand on the money bubble.

Katz Folds to a Big Bet

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cary Katz and Ben Tollerene were heads-up when the flop fell {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Katz checked from the cutoff and Tollerene slid in a bet of 20,000, which Katz instantly called.

The {9-Hearts} landed on the turn and both players checked to the {2-Clubs} on the river. Katz checked one more time and Tollerene pushed forward a bet of 125,000. Katz sent his cards to the muck rather quickly and Tollerene took down the pot.
