Suchanek Falls

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Mohsin Charania opened with a raise to 8,500 and then called when Jan Suchanek three-bet to 20,000. Charania then check-called a bet of 20,000 on the {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and the {9-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Charania checked once again, Suchanek shoved all in for 35,500, and Charania made the call.

Charania: {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Suchanek: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Both players held straight draws, but Charania was head with his pair of nines,. The {4-Clubs} blanked on the river, and Charania sent Suchanek packing.

Jeff Gross
Jeff Gross

One hand after the elimination of JJ Liu, Jeff Gross moved all in via three-bet shove out of the small blind against the raise of Sean Winter on the button. Gross had 108,500 chips left and Winter had that covered by a few big blinds.

Gross: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Winter: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and Gross' seat didn't remain empty for long as Sam Higgs joined the table.

JJ Liu Joins the Rail

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
JJ Liu
JJ Liu

Just a few minutes prior to her last hand, JJ Liu was all in and doubled up very short with [As {5-Hearts}. Her next all in was for 31,500 chips and Mike Watson looked her up from the button with {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}. It was a coin flip against the {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} of Liu and Watson improved as the board ran out {7-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades}.

Smith Doubles Through Gross

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From the hijack seat, Asa Smith raised to 8,500. Jeff Gross reraised to 19,500 on the button, and then play moved back over to Smith. He tanked for a long time and then moved all for 83,500. Gross asked for a count and began to think.

"That Hollywood act might get you a call," said Gross. "I have a feeling you're going to show me aces."

After few moments passed and then Gross commented, "This is my favorite hand," as he made the call.

Gross tabled the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but he was dominated by Smith's {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, and Smith doubled up.

"Why couldn't you have king-queen?" said Gross after the hand.

Higgs Flushes Watson

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After a raise from a player in early position, Mike Watson called and Sam Higgs tossed in the extra chips out of the big blind as well. Higgs then check-raised the {A-} {2-} {3-} flop with one heart from 7,000 to 20,000 and only Watson made the call whereas the initial raiser check-folded.

Higgs fired the {4-Hearts} turn for 40,000 and then bet 64,000 once the {Q-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Watson called and mucked when the WSOP Asia-Pacific bracelet winner tabled {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for a flush.

Merson Busts Reinkemeier

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 8,000 from under the gun and called the three-bet of Greg Merson in the small blind for 19,000 to see the heads-up flop of {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Merson continued for 17,500 and Reinkemeier moved all in for around 72,000 in chips after some consideration.

Merson: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Reinkemeier: {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} on the turn was of no help for the German, nor was the {A-Diamonds} on the river that even made Merson two pair.

Hinrichsen Aims to Blow Up the Mooney

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in Geoffrey Mooney getting his stack of 112,500 all in preflop against Andrew Hinrichsen.

Mooney: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Hinrichsen: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

"It's a flip," Hellmuth chirped from the other end of the table. Indeed it was, but Mooney needed to catch to stay alive. The {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop kept Hinrichsen in the lead, and so did the {Q-Spades} turn. However, Mooney did pick up a spade draw. Unfortunately for him, the {7-Clubs} river was a blank and he watched the last of his chips pushed to Hinrichsen.

Sabat Done and Dusted

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Eddy Sabat
Eddy Sabat

Jan Suchanek opened for 9,500 from the cutoff and then called when Eddy Sabat three-bet all in for 33,000 from the small blind.

Sabat: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Suchanek: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Sabat was racing for his tournament life, but he needed to improve to stay alive. He didn't do it on the {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and while the {J-Clubs} turn didn't hit him, it did give him a gutshot straight. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {8-Clubs}. Sabat missed and wished the table good luck before exiting the tournament floor.
