McCartney Hits a Set To Stay Alive

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Katherine Offutt opened to 40,000 from under the gun and received a call from a player in middle position. Action folded around to Steven McCartney, who went all in from the small blind. Offutt went all in over the top of him, covering the other player in the hand. After a bit of thought, the player folded.

Katherine Offutt: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Steven McCartney: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

McCartney found his tens up against Offutt's queens, leaving him drawing slim to stay alive. Everything changed on the flop {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, giving him top set. The turn fell {j-Diamonds} to give Offutt a few more outs, but she was unable to complete on the river {8-Spades}, bringing her back below the million-chip mark she had briefly surpassed. Meanwhile, McCartney now finds himself over 400,000 with over 40 big blinds in his stack at present moment.

A blind versus blind battle saw Will Pengelly get his last 255,000 in from the small blind on a {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop, and Scott Squyres called in the big blind.

Will Pengelly: {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Scott Squyres: {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

A cooler flop saw both players make two pair, but Pengelly's top two would hold for the double after a {7-Spades} turn and {j-Hearts} river.

"Let's go baby! Back to back, please!" Pengelly said after his double.

Mordue Folds Despite Being "Ahead Right Now"

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was around 70,000 in the pot on a flop of {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and James Mordue had a bet of 35,000 out in front of him. Action was back on him, facing a raise to 135,000 from Scott Adrian, who was in the hijack.

Mordue thought for a while and eventually folded {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} face-up. Adrian sat there awaiting the pot with cards still in hand.

"Really?" Mordue kindly said in a manner that asked if he really wasn't going to show after Mordue gave him such respect in folding aces.

Adrian tabled {a-Hearts}. He then showed {k-Hearts} to signify his nut flush draw to go along with what he had previously thought was two over cards.

"I knew it," said Mordue. "So I'm ahead right now."

The two then continued to talk about the spot, with both agreeing that they didn't want to play a 1+ million-chip pot with such vulnerable hands at this stage in the tournament.

Pamela Belote jammed for 195,000 from early position, and Van Ho called off his last 170,000 next to act.

Van Ho: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Pamela Belote: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Belote would hold on after a {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} board, and Ho busted.

"Whew, I normally don't just shove on a drawing hand!" an elated Belote said after the hand.

A Payne-ful Finish; Alagha Breaks Seven Figures

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Bobby Payne
Bobby Payne

Bobby Payne was heard letting out a painful-sounding groan while the cards were being run in a hand that would be the last of his tournament. Hesam Alagha was the one to knock him out and recapped the hand shortly after its conclusion.

Alagha opened to 26,000 from the cutoff and Bobby Payne three-bet to 76,000 from one of the blinds. Alagha put him in for about 200,000 more and Payne called.

Bobby Payne: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Hesam Alagha: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} to give Alagha a set of tens, topping Payne's set of kings and sending him to the rail along the way. With the pot, Alagha now boasts a stack of 1.137 million and appears to be the first player to break seven figures in the tournament.

Sixkiller Spikes a Set to Double Through Vo

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Viet Vo raised to 22,000 from the hijack, then called a three-bet shove from Gary Sixkiller in the small blind for 106,000.

Gary Sixkiller: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Viet Vo: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Vo pulled ahead after the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop delivered top pair and a gutshot to his Big Slick.

"Wow!" Sixkiller said after the {5-Spades} turn gave him one of his two outs for a set, and when the {2-Spades} river failed to give Vo Broadway, a relieved Sixkiller stacked up the double.

Kelling Falling; Lucas Nears 900K

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was around 100,000 in the pot on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} in a pot between Landen Lucas, who was in the big blind, and Jence Kelling, who was in middle position. Lucas checked to Kelling, who bet 55,000. He then made the call.

The turn came {k-Clubs} and Lucas checked again. Kelling announced 60,000, grabbing the appropriate chips and throwing them forward onto the table. Lucas called. The river fell {10-Spades}. Lucas checked once more and Kelling reached for chips.

"That's a big bet," said Lucas as he saw Kelling grabbing the recently-in-play T25,000 chips.

"Not really. It's not," Kelling responded, throwing out a bet of 110,000. Lucas went into the tank.

"Well, come on," Kelling egged. "They're yours," he said.

Lucas decided he believed Kelling's words more than his actions and announced a call.

"I got shit," said Kelling, tossing his cards into the muck. Lucas tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for trip aces with no kicker in play.

"Good hand," Kelling congratulated. "Impressive. Good hand."

With the pot, Lucas finds himself just shy of the 900,000-chip mark.

On the following hand, Kelling opened to 20,000 from early position and Will Pengelly shoved over him for 196,000 from the hijack. Kelling folded, giving Pengelly the pot preflop.

Kehrees Cracks Aces

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mark Kehrees jammed for 119,000 from the cutoff, and Abdul Almagableh made the call in the small blind.

Mark Kehrees: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Abdul Almagableh: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Kehrees found help with the {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, which gave him an open-ender. The {7-Spades} turn completed Kehrees's straight, but Almagableh was still live with a flush draw. The {3-Diamonds} bricked off on the river, and the duo essentially swapped stacks.
