Jejelowo Rivers Better

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

AJ Jejelowo completed from the small blind, and Kunal Patel knocked the table for a free flop from the big.

The flop came {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {4-Spades}, and Patel called a bet of 4,000. He called another 9,000 after the {K-Clubs} turn, and another 30,000 behind the {9-Clubs} river. He had {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for two pair, but Jejelowo had run him down on the river with {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds}.

The better kings-up moves Jejelowo up to about 300,000, slipping Patel back to about 152,000.

Brecher Busto

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Steve Brecher
Steve Brecher

Steve Brecher could manage just one double before succumbing to this Day 2.

With 14,800 chips left, he open-shoved with {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} from the cutoff seat, and AJ Jejelowo called him down with {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} from the next seat over. Brecher wishes boards were only four cards deep as it came {9-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}... {3-Diamonds} to seal his fate.

All is not lost for Brecher, though, and we'll see him next weekend at the WSOP-C National Championship thanks to his fourth-place finish at the Western Regional Championship in March.

Brecher Crippled

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On a {5-Spades} {8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} flop, action checked to Kunal Patel, and he made a bet of 7,500. Lawrence Jacobs check-raised to 21,000, and Steve Brecher reraised all in for 73,600 behind him. That put the action back on Patel, and he called all in for 60,000, forcing Jacobs to lay his hand down.

Showdown
Brecher: {A-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Patel: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

Patel was well in front, and he was pleased to hear that Jacobs also folded ace-ten. The turn {2-Hearts} and river {8-Diamonds} kept his kings safe, and he's doubled up to 172,000.

It's the second consecutive double that Brecher has donated, and this one cripples him all the way down to just 6,800 lonely chips.

Jacobs Doubles Through Brecher

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Lawrence Jacobs got his last ~70,000 chips into the pot with {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, and he was in fine shape as Steve Brecher came along with the {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. The {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop was a relief to Jacobs, and the turn {8-Clubs} locked up his double. He's back to 140,000 after making kings full, and Brecher falls back to about 80,000.

Gaspard Gone

AJ Jejelowo opened to 6,000 in the cutoff and Prince Gaspard defended his big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Gaspard check-called 10,000 from Jejelowo, leading to the {9-Diamonds} turn. A check in the dark was Gaspard's play before it hit, leading to a Jejelowo bet of 18,000. Gaspard called and dark checked the {7-Spades} river. Jejelowo shoved, putting Gaspard to the test for his remaining stack of roughly 17,000. Eventually Gaspard did in fact call, but Jejelowo showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Gaspard couldn't beat it with his {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, ending his tournament in 14th place.
