Lederer Doubles Through Schwartz

Howard Lederer raised to 36,000 and Noah Schwartz repotted to 126,000. Lederer made the call and the rest of the money went in on the {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop, Schwartz showed {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} but Lederer had a huge wrap/flush draw with {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Spades}.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} but the river was the {7-Hearts} making Lederer a straight to win the pot and double through.

Austin Doubles Through Schwartz

Richard Austin bets 102,000 on a {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} board turn before moving all in for 110,000 on the {2-Hearts} river. Noah Schwartz eventually pays him off with {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} {6-Spades}, as Austin got there on the turn with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts}.

Austin has 465,000 and Schwartz is on 910,000.

Golser: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Podgurski: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board bricked out {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Golser is eliminated in 20th place, collecting $25,817 for his tournament efforts.

Williams Doubles Through Greenstein

Barry Greenstein raises from the cutoff to 36,000 and David Williams reraised on the button. Greenstein called and they saw the {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop, Greenstein set Williams in and he called.

Greenstein: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs}
Williams: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Greenstein's draw was absolutely huge, any ace, heart, queen, jack, ten, nine or seven was good but somehow Williams dodged it all on the {6-Spades} river.

Williams has 400,000 and Greenstein has 180,000 left.

Gabriellson Doubles Through Golser

Ferit Gabriellson has just taken down a monstrous pot against Markus Golser to leave his opponent crippled.

We arrived on the flop of {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades} to see Golser and Gabriellson go to war in a battle of the blinds.

After a series of raises Golser was in the tank after Gabriellson had moved all in. Eventually he made the call and the cards were tabled.

Golser held the lead with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for top two pair but Gabriellson had a wrap with his {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and river the {6-Hearts} and Gabriellson claps his hands in delight at spiking his straight and doubling through. He's up to 1.13 million with Golser down to just 76,000.

Nenad Medic raises to 36,000 UTG, James Taylor reraised to 121,000 from the big blind and Medic called with 44,000 behind.

The flop was {J-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} and Taylor set Medic in with {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and Medic needing to catch a queen, seven or nine with his {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, the turn was the {4-Clubs} but the river was the {9-Clubs} and Medic doubles to 380,000.

Taylor was down to 26,000 and went out with {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {7-Spades} {4-Clubs} to Robin Keston's {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} next hand when Keston made kings up on a {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} board.
