Haller Back

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There was a raise to 24,000 and two callers before Jake Haller shoved all in for his last 155,000. Maxx Coleman, who was already in for the 24,000 called Haller's all in and Barry Hutter and Antonio Garcia folded. That left Coleman heads up with Haller. Haller had {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Coleman had slightly less with {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, giving Haller a straight.

Haller Forth

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jake Haller has been pretty active the last few hands, including doubling up against Maxx Coleman. On this hand, he three bet Barry Hutter from the button, making it 58,000 to go. Hutter called. The flop was {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Hutter bet 48,000. Haller called. Both players checked the turn, {4-Spades}, and the river, {6-Clubs}. Hutter turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Haller mucked.

Keating Gone

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Play folded to Alex Keating in the cutoff seat, and he raised to 25,000. In the small blind, Numit Agrawal reraised to 74,000.

"Alex," shouted Upeshka De Silva from the payout desk a few feet away from Keating's table. "I'm out."

"Aww, man, nice run," Keating said as they action at his table moved back to him.

"I got your stuff, do you want it?" De Silva asked.

"OK, nice," Keating said. "Yeah... I was going to ask if you could wait until the next break, but that's too long. Can you just bring it here and I'll keep it here?"

"Sure," De Silva said.

"How much is it?' Keating asking, turning his attention back to his table.

The dealer confirmed the three-bet amount as 74,000 to Keating.

"Actually, just wait because I might go out here," Keating said to De Silva.

Keating then thought about it for a few moments before he announced that he was all in for around 450,000. Agrawal quickly called.

"Yikes," reacted Keating with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Agrawal had the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and that was it for Keating. Although the chips were very close, Agrawal had him covered and Keating was eliminated. He linked up with De Silva, collected his ticket, and headed out of the room.

Wang Busts Gooch

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Wang (Day 1b)
Michael Wang (Day 1b)

From under the gun, Jason Gooch raised all in for 67,000. Michael Wang was in the next seat and called. Action then folded to Olivier Busquet on the button, and he gave it some thought for a little bit before he folded. It looked as though Busquet was contemplating a reshove with his stack of around 350,000. Everyone else folded, and it was Gooch's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} up against Wang's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

"Wow," said Busquet with a sigh of relief.

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Wang won the pot to bust Gooch.

"I almost played really bad and got there," said Busquet, hinting that if he had shove she would've cracked Wang's kings and won.

Barlow Finds Aces for a Double

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From early position, Antonio Garcia opened with a raise to 25,000. Jake Haller called from the next seat, Matt Lapossie called on the button, and Joseph Skinner called from the small blind, before Lou Barlow reraised all in from the big blind for 268,000. Garcia called, and everyone else folded.

Barlow showed the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}, but he was behind the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for the at-risk Barlow.

The {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop kept Barlow in front, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn gave Garcia a Broadway straight to put him in front. The {3-Clubs} on the river changed it back to that Barlow had the best hand, and that gave him the win to double him up over 600,000. Garcia was clipped back to 430,000 or so.
