Chan Out

Feming Chan - eliminated.
Feming Chan - eliminated.

Hao Le opened to 5,600 from early position, Feming Chan called in middle position, another player called near the button, and Jesus Cabrera defended his big blind. The flop came down {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Cabrera checked, and Le moved all in for well over 50,000. Chan shot him a confused look, eventually calling all in for less. The two other players folded.

Showdown
Le: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Chan: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The turn was the {q-Spades}, giving Chan an open-ended straight draw, but the {3-Hearts} bricked on the river, eliminating him from the tournament.

Siracusa Chips Up

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Earlier, Joe Siracusa eliminated the aforementioned over-sleeper. Siracusa has since doubled his stack, moving all in pre flop with two aces.

An opponent opened from the hijack seat before Siracusa moved all in for an extra 18,900. His opponent tank-called, and was well behind.

Showdown
Siracusa: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

There was a queen on the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, but Siracusa held as the turn and river came {j-Hearts}, {k-Spades} respectively. Siracusa is now above 40,000 chips.

Parekh Bleeding Chips

Mike Parekh put out a bet of 12,000 with the board reading {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}. His opponent raised to 27,000 - leaving about 20,000 behind - and Parekh made the call. The turn was the {a-Hearts}, and Parekh checked. His opponent promptly moved all in.

"You have a set?" Parekh asked him.

His opponent remained silent, and Parekh mucked his hand.

"I don't know why you just called on the turn," his opponent asked him. "I was getting it in no matter what."

Parekh is still above 200,000, but he's lost nearly a third of his stack this level.

Deutsch is King

After a raise and a few calls, four players saw a flop of {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, including Jeffrey Papola, Jason Deutsch, and Hung Truong. Deutsch fired 12,000, and the action folded to a player near the button who moved all in for nearly 100,000! Deutsch asked for a rough count, and thought about the decision for nearly a minute. Finally, he called, creating a pot worth over 200,000 chips.

Showdown
Deutsch: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Deutsch needed to fade an ace or a diamond, and did when the turn and river came {5-Spades}, {9-Clubs} respectively. After counting and re-counting the stacks, it was determined that the losing player was eliminated.

Change in the Prizepool

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Tournament officials have double-checked their information and they realized that they had 618 entrants, not 617. They're still paying the same number of places but there are slight changes in the payouts. We'll have them updated shortly.
