Weinman Doubles Before "Dinner" Break

Level 32 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Weinman opened to 160,000 on the button, Raymond Weaver called in the small blind, and John Bowman defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and both blinds checked to Weinman, who continued for 250,000. Weaver called, Bowman check-raised to 900,000, and Weinman moved all in for 1.47 million.

Weaver folded, and Bowman called.

Bowman: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Weinman: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Weinman held as the turn and river came {k-Diamonds}, {8-Diamonds} respectively, more than doubling to 3.7 million.

The players are now on a 30-minute dinner break.

Round We Go

Level 33 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

The final trio of players are trading chips now, with each of the group winning a hand during the last orbit.

First it was Raymond Weaver calling a preflop open from John Bowman, then check-calling bets on the first two post-flop streets as the board came {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, then {6-Hearts}. The {K-Diamonds} appeared on the river, and that time Weaver checked and folded to a third barrel from Bowman.

The next hand saw Daniel Weinman opening from the small blind and Weaver again calling, then when Weaver led for 300,000 at the {8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Weinman raised to 850,000 and Weaver stepped aside.

Next it was Weaver's turn to claim a pot. He limped in from the small blind, Bowman checked, and the flop came {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Weaver checked, then called when Bowman bet 125,000. Both checked the {5-Clubs} turn, and when Weaver led for 300,000 after the {Q-Hearts} river, Bowman let his hand go.

Bowman Pulling Away

Level 33 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Raymond Weaver limped in from the small blind, John Bowman kicked it up to 275,000 in the big blind, and Weaver called. The flop fell {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and Weaver check-called a 300,000-chip bet.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, Weaver checked again, and Bowman fired 500,000.

"How much?" Weaver asked.

The dealer told him the amount.

"Make it 10," Weaver said, min-raising to one million.

Bowman asked for a count of Weaver's stack, and then moved all in for effectively 4.1 million or so. Weaver tanked for over two minutes, then folded.

"You have a flush?" he asked Bowman.

Bowman neither confirmed nor denied Weaver's suspicions.

Raymond Weaver Eliminated in 3rd Place ($113,968)

Level 33 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Raymond Weaver - 3rd Place
Raymond Weaver - 3rd Place

Raymond Weaver limped in from the small blind, John Bowman raised to 300,000 from the big blind, and Weaver pulled chips off of his stack to call, leaving himself a little over 2 million behind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The turn then brought the {7-Diamonds}. Weaver checked, Bowman bet 200,000, then Weaver check-raised to 600,000 and after pausing a beat Bowman called.

The river brought the {A-Clubs}. Weaver pushed out a bet of 300,000, and after sitting silently for about a half-minute Bowman declared he was all in. Weaver waited just a few seconds then said he was calling, saying "I have a king" as he turned over {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Weaver had flopped top pair, but Bowman had turned the nuts as he held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the queen flush, and Weaver's impressive Main Event run came to an end in third place.

There will be a short break before heads-up play begins, at which point John Bowman will be starting with a better than 3-to-1 chip lead over Daniel Weinman.

After trading the first two pots, John Bowman raised to 200,000 on the button. Daniel Weinman three-bet to 550,000, and Bowman called.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Weinman led out for 300,000. Bowman called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, Weinman led again - this time for 650,000 - and Bowman again called.

The river was the {4-Spades}, and Weinman checked for the first time. Bowman took the opportunity to bet 850,000, and Weinman flicked his cards into the muck.
