Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tien Phan Busts One, Karen Robison Doubles Through Daniel Lu

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tien Phan led a ten-high flop and his opponent shoved all in with {a-}{q-}. Phan called with {j-}{10-} and he turned trips to secure the win and eliminate his opponent.

At a nearby table, Karen Robison was all in against Daniel Lu with pocket aces against the {q-}{j-} of Lu. Lu flopped a queen, but that would be all he would get from the board as Robison locked up the double.

Jiang Eliminates Bass; Perrone Triples Up

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Chengce Jiang
Chengce Jiang

Chengce Jiang three-bet to what looked like 78,000 from the cutoff when a middle player opened, and Charles Bass put his remaining 144,000 in from the big blind. The opener tanked awhile and mucked, and Jiang snapped it off with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Bass had {k-Spades}{7-Spades} and didn't get enough improvement on the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board.

At a table across the room, Michael Perrone got the last of his chips in with {k-Spades}{4-Spades} in a multi-way pot and flopped a flush then hit a royal flush to boot, roughly tripling up to get back to a competitive stack.

Brutal River for Perrone

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Perrone
Michael Perrone

Daniel Lu opened for a raise to about 25,000 early and Michael Perrone three-bet him on his left, to about 70,000. Lu said he was all in and turned to stare at Perrone, but Perrone called immediately.

Perrone: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Lu: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Spades} flop did little for Lu except bring the vague possibility of chops. The {7-Diamonds} turn was a brick, but the {9-Diamonds} river put a brutal beat on Lu and he dropped some chips in a heap in frustration.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Richard Cygum from Day 1c
Richard Cygum from Day 1c

Richard Tygum raised to 21,000 under the gun and the big blind defended.

The flop came all clubs, {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and the big blind checked. Tygum bet 20,000 and the big blind called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the big blind checked again. Tygum bet 40,000 and the big blind called.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and the big blind led for 100,000, leaving about 25,000 behind. Tygum called right away and was good with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} against the {3-Spades}{4-Hearts} of the big blind.

Patrick Eskandar Running Hot, Cracks 1 Million

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Rex Clinkscales was recently eliminated from the Main Event and said it was in a three-way hand with Patrick Eskandar.

Clinkscales got {a-}{j-} in against {8-}{8-} and Eskandar's {10-}{10-}. He hit a jack on the flop, but Eskandar rivered a set of tens.

"He's running like god," Clinkscales said, "had aces four times already."

Eskandar has added almost 400,000 to his Day 2 starting stack.

"Shit River" Helps Spinella Before Break

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Anthony Spinella called a bet of 60,000 in middle position when the big blind bet into him on a board of {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The big blind immediately jammed on the {9-Diamonds} river.

"That was fast," Spinella said after about 10 seconds. "I call."

The big blind rolled over {10-}{9-} for top two, but Spinella had {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a set.

"Shit river," the big blind said. "Shit river."

Players are on break for 15 minutes.
