Offutt Gets Lucky to Double

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Katherine Offutt jammed for 605,000 from under the gun, and Kris Burchfield three-bet shoved for 1.75 million in the cutoff, chasing out the rest of the field.

Katherine Offutt: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Kris Burchfield: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Offutt found gin on the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop, giving her aces-full and a near-lock on the hand. Burchfield couldn't catch up on the {4-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs} river, and he paid off the double.

Caibin Ai Eliminated in 13th Place ($19,929)

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Caibin Ai
Caibin Ai

Eric Bunch raised to 155,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 350,000 by Caibin Ai out of the hijack. Action folded back to Bunch and he called, bringing a flop of {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}.

Bunch checked to Ai, who put out a continuation-bet of 400,000. Bunch check-raised to 1 million and Ai came over the top of him, ripping in the last of his chips. Bunch quickly called and turned over his hand.

Eric Bunch: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Caibin Ai: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

"Gah!" said Ai, realizing his top pair, top kicker was in need of running outs to a full house or quads to stay alive in the tournament. The turn came blank to leave him drawing dead before the runout completed and he was congratulated on a well-played tournament, finishing in 13th place.

Meanwhile, the other table saw James Jewell open to 135,000 from the cutoff and James Mordue shoved his last 375,000 in from the big blind. Jewell called.

James Mordue: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
James Jewell: {5-}{5-}

Mordue's preflop coin flip situation turned bleak on the flop {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} flop. He found luck on his side, however, as the turn {10-Spades} and river {k-Spades} not only brought a flush on board to chop, but also gave him a ladder at the same time as the field was reduced to 12.

Jewell Wins a Sizable One

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

There was around 350,000 in the pot on a board of {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} and James Jewell bet 255,000 from the big blind into Spencer Champlin, who was on the button.

Champlin made a raise to 800,000 and Jewell tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Champlin tabled {10-}{4-} for trip fours and it was quickly mucked after Jewell showed {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flopped seven-high straight, raking in the pot to bring him

Joe Cho
Joe Cho

Spencer Champlin checked a {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} board from the small blind, and Eluterio Rodriguez checked the big blind. Joe Cho jammed for 510,000, Champlin called and Rodriguez folded.

Joe Cho: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Spencer Champlin: {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Champlin's heater continued, as Cho failed to improve on the {q-Spades} river, leaving him with cracked rockets and no chips.

Kramer Copp

Spencer Champlin raised to 135,000 on the button, then snapped off a three-bet shove for 905,000 from Kramer Copp in the small blind.

Kramer Copp: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Spencer Champlin: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Champlin spiked a st on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop to further cement his lead, and Copp was left drawing dead after the {5-Hearts} turn, before the {j-Diamonds} could fall on the river.

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Don Goodman
Don Goodman

Don Goodman jammed for 920,000 on the button, and Jeremy Liu three-bet shoved for 1.8 million in the small blind, chasing out Kris Burchfield in the big blind.

"Try to win another flip!" Liu said, in reference to his poor showing in recent flips with Burchfield.

Don Goodman: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Kris Burchfield: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"I'm afraid you're ahead," Goodman quipped.

Liu ended up with a straight on a {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board to dispatch Goodman.

"I'm off tilt!" Liu told the table with a grin.
