One for Roesel

Dale Roesel opened for 110,000 from the hijack and received calls from Jeff Fielder and Bryan Campanello on the button and in the big blind respectively. The {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop saw Campanello check, Roesel bet 185,000, Fielder fold, and Campanello check-raise to 435,000.

Roesel made the call and then called a bet of 380,000 on the {5-Hearts} turn before both players checked the {J-Clubs} river. Roesel tabled {A-Spades}{7-Spades} and won the pot.

Brant Hale Eliminated in 10th Place ($24,949)

Brant Hale (Day 2) - 10th Place
Brant Hale (Day 2) - 10th Place

Jeff Fielder opened to 110,000 from early position, Bryan Campanello three-bet to 250,000 in middle position, and Brant Hale four-bet jammed for around 600,000 from the small blind. Fielder examined Campanello's tack before folding, but Campanello called.

Campanello: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Hale: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

"King of clubs?" Campanello asked.

The turn was not a king nor was it a club, rather it was the {5-Hearts}.

"Not even a sweat," Campanello said jokingly.

There was no sweat needed, for the {q-Diamonds} spiked on the river, giving Campanello a winning pair fo queens. Hale was eliminated in 10th place, and will earn just under $25,000.

We are now at an official final table, and will be bringing you full chip counts shortly.

Lee Abramson Eliminated in 11th Place ($24,949)

Lee Abramson - 11th Place
Lee Abramson - 11th Place

We're down to one table here in Choctaw as Lee Abramson was just eliminated in 11th place by chip leader Jeff Fielder.

It happened when action folded to Abramson on the button and he raised to 110,000. Fielder then three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind, the big got out of the way, and Abramson made the call.

When the flop came down {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Fielder bet 200,000, Abramson raised to 450,000, and Fielder moved all in. Abramson, who had about 975,000 back, thought for about 45 seconds before committing his entire stack.

Abramson: {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Fielder: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Fielder flopped trips, but Abramson was drawing live with his flush draw. The {7-Diamonds} turn missed Abramson, and the {4-Hearts} did the same to send him home in 11th place. You may recall that Abramson was involved in a controversial slowroll on Day 1a, though Abramson later cleared up the matter when he told PokerNews:

"I did not intent to slow roll my opponent. I believed there was still action behind as he had shoved many times after previous action and had raised when there was no action. Because of a hand within the hour, where not asking for a chip count was part of the reason action was affected, I asked for the count. Once action was over, I turned over my cards before my opponent. While I play in few WSOP events, I play poker regularly and am very familiar about poker ettiquette. If I was incorrect about the action behind me then I agree my action was improper and wrong. It was not my intention to play anything but honorable poker. I am sorry for the way I handled the call."

McFarland Doubles Through Ilich

Kristi McFarland opened for a raise from the cutoff, making it 250,000 to go. Drazen Ilich three-bet all in for effectively 615,000 on her direct left, and the action folded back to McFarland.

McFarland put both hands on her head and stared down at the felt. Finally, after 90 seconds of agonizing thought, she committed the rest of her chips.

McFarland: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Ilich: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}, giving McFarland a fairly meaningless pair of fives and Ilich an open-ended straight draw. The {5-Clubs} on the turn was very meaningful though, because it gave McFarland trips and took away six of Ilich's outs.

The {3-Diamonds} bricked on the river, and McFarland let out a long sigh of relief. She doubled to 1.275 million chips, while Ilich slipped to 1.045 million.

Stewart Four-Bet Folds Then Picks Up a Small One

Cliff Stewart opened to 105,000 from under the gun, Bryan Campanello three-bet to 215,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Stewart, who double-fisted 550,000 across the betting line. Campanello studied the bet, then turned his glance to his own stack.

Campanello removed his hand away from his mouth, then uttered, "All in."

Stewart screwed up his face, then rechecked his cards. He took no more than 10 seconds to think, then folded.

The very next hand, Drazen Ilich raised to 125,000 out of the small blind. Stewart three-bet to 350,000 from the big blind, and Ilich tank-folded.

Fielder Picks Apart Roesel in Back-to-Back Hands

We just saw back-to-back hands that resulted in Jeff Fielder's stack balloon to over 5 million while Dale Roesel's dropped to nearly 2 million.

In the first, Fielder opened for 105,000 from the cutoff and then called when Roesel three-bet to 215,000 from the small blind. Both players checked the {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, and then Fielder called a bet of 235,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn. When the {7-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Roesel slowed down with a check and then called when Fielder bet 345,000. The latter tabled {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for a straight and a frustrated Roesel mucked his cards.

In the next hand, Fielder opened for 105,000 under the gun and then called Roesel's three-bet to 235,000 from the button. Fielder proceeded to check the {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop, prompting Roesel to bet 240,00 and say, "You can't fold. You know you'll get there."

Sure enough, Fielder called and then both players checked the {6-Hearts} turn. They did the same on the {5-Diamonds} river and Fielder revealed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, which prompted Roesel to muck. "I had kings back to back," Roesel said. "Awesome."

Jon Wood Eliminated in 12th Place ($24,949)

Jon Wood (Day 2) - 12th Place

Jeff Fielder opened to 105,000 from early position, Doug Ashmore called from the cutoff, and Jon Wood moved all in for 505,000 from the big blind. Fielder asked for a count before re-shoving, and Ashmore opted to fold.

Fielder: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Wood: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, giving Wood a wheel draw, but Fielder held two of his outs. The {j-Clubs} on the turn was a brick, and the {6-Hearts} on the river actually gave Fielder a six-high straight.

Wood was eliminated in 12th place, and will pocket $24,949. Fielder is once again the chip leader.
