Piccioli Loses Some Chips

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action folded around to Bryan Piccioli in the small blind who opted to just limp in. Chad Smith checked his option and the flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Smith checked out of turn which may have given Piccioli the green light to start betting. Piccioli tossed in a bet of 15,000 and Smith called.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and Piccioli sized up a bet of 60,000 this time. Smith announced all in and Piccioli instantly threw his cards to the muck.

"I just lost some unnecessary chips," Piccioli said to his friend. "That out of turn check messed me up."

Corda Doubles Through Matthews

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

H.B. Slobotny opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was called by Michal McKuin on his left. Clifford Matthews was next to act and bumped it up to 40,000. Jacob Corda called from the big blind as did Slobotny but McKuin laid his hand down.

The flop fell {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Corda jammed all in for his last 85,000 chips. Slobotny quickly folded and Matthews flicked in a single chip to call. Corda turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush draw while Matthews held {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but it was the {7-Clubs} on the river that gave Corda a flush and more than a double up.

Stewart Bounces Miller from the Tournament

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chris Miller
Chris Miller

Scott Stewart made it 20,000 to go from the cutoff and Christopher Miller three-bet to 110,000 from the big blind. Stewart called and the dealer fanned the flop of {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Miller announced all in for 241,000 and Stewart asked for a count before dipping into the think tank. After a couple of minutes, Stewart called and the cards were tabled.

Scott Stewart: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Christopher Miller: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Stewart made the right call and now it was all up to the fate of the cards. The {3-Spades} and {5-Diamonds} run-out proved to be safe for Stewart who barely had the start-of-day chipleader covered.

McKuin Hero-Calls with Ace-High

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Micahael McKuin
Micahael McKuin

Michael McKuin opened to 30,000 in middle position and was called by Clifford Matthews on his left and Adam Todd in the big blind. The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {5-Diamonds} on the turn.

Todd led out with a bet of 45,000 and only McKuin stuck around to see the {6-Clubs} on the river. Todd slid out another bet of 105,000 and McKuin snapped him off. Todd showed {q-Spades}{8-Spades} for air while McKuin held {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for ace-high to earn the pot.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Doubles Through Cartwright

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Benjamin Thomas opened to 22,000 in early position and was called by Blake Whittington a couple of seats over. Kyle Cartwright stuck in a three-bet to 76,000 on the button and Thomas replied with a four-bet shove for 159,000. Whittington quickly folded and Cartwright confirmed the count before making the call.

Benjamin Thomas: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Kyle Cartwright: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} gave Cartwright a straight draw to go along with his one overcard. However, the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river was not enough for him as Thomas scored the double up.

Straight Flush Launches Barousse Into the Lead

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Blake Barousse
Blake Barousse

Benjamin Thomas opened to 17,000 from under the gun and picked up four callers along the way. Five players saw a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and what an action flop it was. It checked to Blake Barousse in the cutoff who bet 64,000 and only Earle Schwarz called on his right.

The {k-Spades} landed on the turn and Schwarz checked again. Barousse announced all in and Schwarz wasted no time in calling off his stack of just under 300,000. Schwarz flipped over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair and a flush draw and Barousse needed some help with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} which gave Schwarz a flush but Barousse improved to a straight flush. "That's sick," some players at the table agreed. The monster pot sent Schwarz to the payout desk and moved Barousse to the top of the leaderboard.
