Siemienas Isn't Screwin' Around

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Craig Trost raised to 2,600 from the hijack, and was called by Gerald Siemienas on the button, as well as the player in the big blind.

The big blind checked an {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop over to Trost, who bet 2,500. Both Siemienas and the big blind called.

The {q-Hearts} turn was checked to Siemienas, who bet 15,000. Both of his opponents folded.

"No screwing around," Siemienas told the table, and Trost quipped, "Fair enough."

Baime Boats Up on Jansen

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Kenneth Baime
Kenneth Baime

Bradley Jansen checked a {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades} board from the cutoff, and Kenneth Baime bet 7,200 into a pot of 15,000 from the button. Jansen called.

Jansen checked again on the {7-Diamonds} river, and Baime bet 20,000, enough to set Jansen in for his last 19,800. Jansen tanked for a minute, then called, revealing {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, but his rockets were cracked by the {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Baime to send Jansen to the rail.

Fielder Bats .500

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

Hand #1:

Jeff Fielder raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Jeremy Brown in the big blind.

Brown checked the {6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop to Fielder, who bet 4,000. Brown folded.

Hand #2:

The very next hand, Fielder raised to 4,000 from the hijack, and only Andy Rogowski called in the big blind.

Rogowski check-called a 4,000 bet from Fielder on the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, and both players checked the {j-Clubs} turn. Rogowski bet 20,000 on the {k-Spades} river, and Fielder tanked for a minute before folding.

Battle of Minnesotans Goes to Vang

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

Ian Matakis jammed for 15,200 from middle position, and Kou Vang called in the cutoff.

Ian Matakis: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Kou Vang: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Matakis maintained his lead on the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop, but the {k-Diamonds} turn gave Vang the lead and left Matakis looking for an ace, jack or ten to survive. The {3-Clubs} river didn't do it, and Vang scored the elimination.

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.

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.
