Ge Sends Damelian Packing

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Yanji Ge
Yanji Ge

From the small blind, Yanji Ge raised to 1,600 only to have Roberto Damelian three-bet to 5,000. Ge called and checked the {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop with Damelian moving all in for 12,900. Ge instantly called and the cards were tabled.

Damelian: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Ge: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

With Damelian in bad shape, the turn and river landed the {K-Clubs} and {6-Hearts} to end his tournament shy of the money as Ge climbed to 68,000 in chips.

Bowen Busts Duhamel and Kuo

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jonathan Duhamel raised to 1,700 and David Bowen three-bet to 4,200. The Canadian moved all in for approximately 20,000 with pocket nines and Bowen made the call with {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}. There was no surprise on the {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} board and Bowen stacked the chips.

He wasn't done yet when Kitty Kuo moved into the one seat and got her stack of 11,000 chips in preflop with {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Bowen snap-called with {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and scored the next bounty right away on a board of {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. "Bring me the next one," he joked and sure enough a short stacked Minh Nguyen took the empty seat.

Updated Chip Counts

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bounties for Tran and Phan

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tien Phan had a short stack at risk with {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} and held up versus {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} on a board of {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}.

Two tables over, Henry Tran just flat-called a raise from the player in under the gun and the player on the button moved all in for what looked like 11,000. The initial raiser folded but Tran called immediately and turned over {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. He faced {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and received the $500 bounty chip after the board ran out {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} {8-Clubs}.

Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Paul Birman opened to 1,500 in the cutoff and Kitty Kuo moved all in from the small blind for 5,275. Birman called and the cards were tabled.

Birman: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} to see Kuo double to roughly 11,000 as Birman took a step back to 6,500.

Next Bounty for Shack-Harris

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante
Piyush Gupta
Piyush Gupta

It took Brandon Shack-Harris until level nine to claim his first bounty in George Danzer and the American just added Piyush Gupta to that lost only a few minutes later. Gupta open-shoved for the third time as of lately and was at risk for his last 6,500 with {A-} {10-}.

Shack-Harris called with {A-} {J-} on the button and all other players folded. The board delivered no upset and the American trails way above average.

Will the Real POY Please Stand Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante
Danzer vs Shack-Harris
Danzer vs Shack-Harris

This past weekend, George Danzer passed Brandon Shack-Harris atop the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard, which is a race hotly contested between the two. Shack-Harris has exacted some revenge by eliminating Danzer for Event #4 and giving himself a freeroll to valuable POY points.

In what would be Danzer's final hand, the player on the button opened for 1,300 an Danzer three-bet to 3,400 from the small blind. Shack-Harris then four-bet to 8,200 from the big, the original raiser folded, and Danzer moved all in for 15,750. Shack-Harris called and it was off to the races.

Shack-Harris: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Danzer: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Danzer needed to improve, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out a clean {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}. With that, Danzer sent his $500 bounty chip to his arch rival (the two have actually become good friends).

Watson Climbing

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Following an all in for 5,725, Mike Watson made the call next to act.

Watson: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Watson grabbed a terminator chip worth $500 while simultaneously moving his stack upwards of 27,000.

Bojang Terminates Pickering

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A short-stacked Jamie Pickering moved all in for his last 3,575 from the hijack and action folded to Ismael Bojang in the big blind. The German didn't seem too excited to call, but he did so nonetheless.

Pickering: {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Bojang: {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Bojang was behind, but not for long as the {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop gave him the lead with a pair of sevens. Pickering was in need of either a queen or running cards to stay alive, but he was left wanting as the {A-Clubs} blanked on the turn followed by the {5-Hearts} on the river.
