Hanson Fades a Big Draw For a Double

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Hanson raised to 5,000 from the cutoff, and Richard Bai called in the big blind.

Bai checked the {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} flop to Hanson, who bet 10,000. Bai check-raised all in, and Hanson called off his last 37,000 total.

Michael Hanson: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Richard Bai: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Hanson held the lead with his pair of kings, but the defending champ Bai held a plethora of outs with his straight and flush draws. The {10-Hearts} turn and {5-Diamonds} river bricked off, and Hanson scored another double.

Siemienas Takes From Chip Leader Altman

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Brian Altman, who has been on a tear since the break, raised to 4,500 from the cutoff, and Gerald Siemienas called in the big blind.

Siemienas check-called a bet of 4,000 from Altman on the {5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, and both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn.

The {j-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Siemienas bet 10,000. Altman folded, and Siemienas flashed the {a-Spades} as he collected the pot. Despite the setback, Altman sits with more than 300,000 and the current chip lead.

Hanson Knocks One Out in a Roller Coaster Hand

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Hanson jammed for 27,500 from middle position, and the button called off his last 26,000.

"Hope I picked a good spot!" Hanson said.

Michael Hanson: {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Hanson had indeed picked a decent spot, as he was ahead with king-high. Hanson's spirits dimmed after the {8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop delivered his opponent a straight, leaving Hanson looking for a diamond (but not the queen of diamonds) to avoid being left with 1,500 in chips. The {6-Spades} turn was a brick, but Hanson found the {3-Diamonds} on the river to earn the knockout.

Michael Leaves Michael With Fumes

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Michael Perrone
Michael Perrone

Michael Moncek, who just finished fourth in Event #9: $1,125 No-Limit Hold'em, jammed for 34,800 from middle position, and Michael Perrone called off his last 33,700 on the button.

"I looked at one!" Moncek said, to which Perrone replied, "No pair...that's good for me!"

Michael Moncek: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Michael Perrone: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Perrone's kicker proved to be the difference maker on a {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} board to leave Moncek with less than a big blind.
