Six-Bets and a Chop!

Facing a raise to 250 from a player in the cutoff, Jarred Solomon three-bet the button to 725 only to have an opponent in the big blind make it 1,950.

The original raiser folded, but after some deliberation, Solomon made it 3,450 to go. His opponent grabbed all his chips and pushed them into the middle with Solomon make the call for his tournament life.

Solomon: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} to see all that raising turn into nothing as both players chopped it up as Solomon climbed slightly to 6,000 in chips.

Sabat Trips Up

On one of the last hands of the previous levels, Eddy Sabat found a virtual double to 16,000 in chips.

On a Queen-high flop Sabat found himself all in with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} against an opponent who called all in for less holding just bottom pair.

The turn landed a second queen to see the pot locked for Sabat as he raked in the pot.

Yang Straightens Out Opponent

On a board of {6-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades} and the pot sitting around the 2,500-chip mark, Jerry Yang check-raised to 4,000 over an opponent's 1,300-chip bet.

Yang made the call when his opponent moved all in for an additional 1,000 and tabled his {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the nuts as his opponent rolled over jus {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

The river landed the meaningless {Q-Clubs} and Yang eliminated his opponent to move to around the 18,000-chip mark.
