"Use Them Wisely"

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

A preflop raising war between Tino Lechich and Stephen Lindeblad resulted in the former getting his stack all in preflop and racing against the latter.

Lechich: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Lindeblad: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Lechich was the player at risk, which meant he needed to improve if he wanted to keep his tournament hopes alive. The {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop kept Lindeblad firmly in the lead, an the {2-Diamonds} turn meant Lechich needed either an ace or king on the river to double. The dealer burned on last time and put out the {3-Clubs}.

"Use them wisely," Lechich told Lindeblad before exiting the tournament area.

Shack-Harris Versus Kurti

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a battle of the small blind against a raise from under the gun, Brandon Shack-Harris led for 7,200 on the river of a {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board. There were already 8,000 chips in the middle and Shack-Harris was risking almost exactly half his stack. His opponent, Gim Kurti, had him well covered. Kurti gave it a good minute before releasing his cards, and Shack-Harris won the pot.

Kamutzki Sent to the Rail

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante
George Danzer & Heinz Kamutzki
George Danzer & Heinz Kamutzki

The chips from George Danzer now belong to Mike Watson, who called the open shove for 10 big blinds with {A-Clubs} {Q-} and four-card flushed the pocket fours of the German. Danzer's countryman Heinz Kamutzki was equally fortunate after calling all in out of the big blind for 3,500 chips.

It was Michael Wang who shoved into him from the small blind with {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} and Kamutzki was ahead with {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. It was all fine until the {6-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} turn, but the {J-Spades} on the river gave Wang a pair.

Shack-Harris' Two Pair Beats Zhu's Two Pair

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

After Yaxi Zhu checked the {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, Brandon Shack-Harris bet 500. Zhu made the call, and the turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Both players checked to see the {J-Hearts} fall on the river, and Zhu led with a bet of 1,350. Shack-Harris called.

Zhu tabled the {J-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair, but Shack-Harris had a better two pair with the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and he won the pot.

Lindeblad Gets Almost Silenced

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Stephen Lindeblad raised to 600 and got two callers before the action reached Peter Longmore. The latter three-bet quite large to 3,100 and only Lindeblad went along to see the flop of {10-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Longmore bet 4,000 and had another 6,800 behind, which caused Lindeblad to move all in. Longmore called quickly and both turned over their cards:

Longmore: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Lindeblad: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

It was a cooler for Lindeblad and he failed to improve on the {5-Diamonds} turn and the {K-Spades} river. Another player from a nearby cash table had some words and Lindeblad only threw back a "oh shut up." Let's see if he remains as talkative as he has been thus far.

You Mrad, Bro?

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a player opened for 650 from the hijack and Ray Henson flatted from the button, Sam Mrad called from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Two checks saw Henson bet 500, only Mrad called, and then the dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds}.

Mrad check-called a bet of 2,175 and then both players checked when the {3-Clubs} river put four clubs on the board. Mrad rolled over the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a flush, and it was good as Henson sent his cards to the muck.

Danzer Can't Call Watson

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

On the last hand before the break, George Danzer and Mike Watson got involved in a pot that lasted a few minutes into the break.

Danzer kicked off the action with a raise to 450 from middle position, and Watson three-bet to 1,200 on the button. Play folded back to Danzer, and he called to see the flop come down {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and Danzer led with a bet of 2,200. Watson made the call, and the river was the {A-Spades}. Danzer took a few moments to think and then checked. Watson took his own few moments and then slid all of his chips forward for 3,750. This sent Danzer into the tank, and tank is just what he did. Several minutes into the break, Danzer finally gave it up, and Watson won the pot.
