Kenney Doubles

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A late position player opened to 10,500 and Ebony Kenney replied by three-betting all in for her last 38,500. It folded back to the original raiser and he called.

Kenney: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The flop brought {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Kenney's pocket sevens were still in the lead. The {6-Clubs} on the turn gave her opponent an open-ended straight draw and gave Kenney a sick sweat for her tournament life. Fortunately for her, the {6-Hearts} finished off the board and she was able to secure a double up. She's now sitting with about 85,000.

"Can You Beat Aces?"

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On one of the last hands of Level 19, Lee Childs raised to 7,000 in middle position. The action folded to Carlos Pipitone, who three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind, and Childs made the call.

The flop fell {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and Pipitone led out for 13,000. Childs tank-called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs}, and Pipitone slowed down, checking to Childs who reached for chips. He fired 22,5000, sending Pipitone into the tank.

"Can you beat aces?" he asked Childs.

Childs didn't answer.

"Ok," he said. "I'm all in."

Pipitone simultaneously moved all his chips (around 60,000 more) forward and exposed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for a pair of aces. Confused, Childs called for the floor. When the floor arrived, he folded, and the player received a one-round penalty.

Childs now has 170,000 chips, while Pipitone sits with 135,000.

A Four-Bet For Rauscher

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Chris Rauscher opened from under the gun plus one to 8,000 only to have Natasha Barbour snap three-bet to 15,000 from the next seat over. Action folded all of the way back to Rauscher who went into the tank. He came out with a four-bet to 28,000 and suddenly the pressure was back on Barbour. After roughly a minute she decided that the best course of action was releasing her hand and the pot was awarded to Rauscher.

Birnbaum Doubles

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Nancy Birnbaum moved her last 34,500 all in from middle position. It folded all of the way around to Mike Linster who announced a call out of the big blind. Linster rolled over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and was racing against Birnbaum's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

"I like your chances, here," said Linster from across the table.

The dealer fanned a flop of {10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Birnbaum was able to seal her lead by flopping a set.

"See!" said Linster with a laugh.

The board completed with the {5-Spades} and the {2-Hearts} and Birnbaum was able to score a key double up, keeping her tournament life alive. She is now sitting on about 75,000 while Linster has fallen to around 290,000.

Linster Scores a KO

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We caught up to find action folded around to Mike Linster in the small blind. He made it 8,500 to go and the player in the big blind opted to three-bet ship all in for roughly 67,000 more. Linster snapped him off and found that he was crushing his all-in opponent.

Linster: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Linster's opponent found no solace in the next five cards to come and he was sent to the rail. Linster, on the other hand, has now increased his stack to 321,000.

Kenney Gets Called

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ebony Kenney and an opponent stared down at a completed board of {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Kenney's opponent checked to her on the button and she moved out a bet of 18,000. Her opponent tanked for quite some time before finally dropping in a call.

"King-high," said Kenney.

Her opponent quietly rolled over {9-Spades}{7-Spades} and took down the pot with his pair of nines. Kenney has now fallen to about 95,000.

Carter Takes a Small Hit

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ryan Carter opened to 8,000 from under the gun and action trickled all of the way around the table to the big blind who called.

The flop was {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the big blind checked. Carter continued for 11,000 and his opponent stuck around. The action went check-check when the {3-Diamonds} turned and there were two more checks after the {A-Diamonds} rivered.

"Sixes," said Carter, showing {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. His opponent, however, spiked an ace on the river as he showed {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and he took down the pot. Carter took a small hit but is still one of the biggest stacks in the room with about 288,000.
