Alberto Sends Young to the Rail

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Justin Young found himself all in for around 225,000 and with a caller in Anthony Alberto, the two turned over their hands and Young would be at risk of elimination.

Anthony Alberto: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Justin Young: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Alberto's full house took down the pot, eliminating Young in the process.

Zamani Talks His Way Into the Right Call

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Martin Zamani raised in the cutoff to 24,000 and he found a call from Cary Katz in the small blind and Sean Winter in the big blind.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and action checked to Zamani who put out a bet of 30,000. Katz let it go while Winter called.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and both players checked to see the {3-Hearts} on the river. Winter bombed, making it 140,000 and Zamani dropped into the tank. He immediately started talking to himself.

"I should've just bet the turn again and made my life easier," Zamani said. "Do you have any thoughts, Sean?"

Winter stayed silent as Zamani used a time extension. Eventually, Zamani put in the chips to call.

Winter showed his {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} only.

"Is that really all you have?" Zamani said, implying that Winter may be slowrolling. Zamani showed his {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} for two pair. Winter wasn't able to produce a better hand, so Zamani took down the pot, chipping up to around 700,000.

Winter Ships Wright Out on the River

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sean Winter opened to 30,000 from the hijack, Larry Wright announced pot for 120,000 and Winter called. The dealer fanned out {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Winter checked to Wright who moved all in for his remaining 4,000, Winter called and the players turned over their hands. Wright showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for top pair of aces and winter tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for the same pair but a lower kicker.

A brick fell on the turn and changed nothing, but the river came down the {6-Clubs}, giving Winter two pair and more than enough to send Wright on his way.

Wolff Doubles Through Bonomo

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

Jordan Cristos limped in from the cutoff and Brandon Adams called on the button as well. Justin Bonomo completed from the small blind and George Wolff checked his option in the big blind.

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and action checked to Adams who put out a bet of 25,000. Bonomo called before Wolff potted, making it 160,000. Action folded to Adams who folded as well before Bonomo dropped into the tank. He thought for a bit then moved all in. Wolff called quickly.

Justin Bonomo: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
George Wolff: {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Wolff was ahead with the better kicker and he held on through the {5-Spades} turn and the {3-Spades} river. That allowed him to double and left Bonomo sitting on an extremely short stack.

Hendrix Starting a Heater Late in the Day

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The flop was showing {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the pot had 65,000 in it. Action checked to Adam Hendrix on the button, he bet 45,000 and Brandon Adams check-raised to 200,000.

Hendrix thought for a moment, ultimately he moved all in for 322,000 and Adams snap-called, players turned over their hands. Adams tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} for top pair with the nut flush draw and Hendrix turned over {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a flopped straight.

The {j-Diamonds} on the turn and {5-Hearts} on the river changed nothing as Hendrix took down the pot with his straight, securing a full double up through Adams.

Loeser Takes One Off Winter

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cary Katz limped in and Sean Winter raised to 45,000 on the button. Manig Loeser called in the small blind while Katz let it go.

The flop was {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and action checked to Winter who bet 35,000. Loeser called.

Both players checked on the {4-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Diamonds} river and Loeser showed down his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair. That earned him the pot and pushed him over a million chips.
