Jake Bazeley

Cary Jones opened in early position and Jake Bazeley moved all in for 268,000. Action folded back to Jones and he called holding {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Bazeley tabled {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, the board ran {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Bazeley doubled.

The very next hand, Jones and Bazeley went to a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Jones moved all in. Bazeley called and had pocket kings for the second hand in a row. Jones was beside himself and tabled {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The board completed {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Jones was eliminated and Bazeley chipped up significantly in back-to-back hands.

Flack Doubles Through Hwang

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Andy Hwang
Andy Hwang

Andy Hwang fired 56,000 from middle position on an {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and Layne Flack made it 140,000 to go on the button. Hwang called and Flack immediately jammed the {5-Clubs} turn when checked to. It was right around 380,000 and Hwang thought about 90 seconds and dropped in a call.

Hwang: {a-}{2-}
Flack: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Flack was ahead but had some cards to dodge, as Hwang could hit two pair, trips or a straight to beat him. The {9-Spades} was a safe river for the six-time bracelet winner.

We found Ray Qartomy open-shoving his 68,000 stack and action folded all they way around to Brian Reinert in the big blind. He asked for the total and called blind. Qartomy showed the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Reinert turned over the {10-Spades}{6-Clubs} one at a time. Qartomy hit a king on the flop, his hand held and he doubled up.

Two hands later, Maxx Coleman opened to 40,000 and Qartomy moved all in from the big blind. Coleman thought for a bit and called holding the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Qartomy tabled the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and said, "You know I only play the premiums."

The board ran {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, Qartomy made Broadway and now has a stack of 350,000.
