Isaia Cripples Green

Alessio Isaia and Perry Green were heads up with the board reading {8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Green quickly check-called a bet, and the river brought the {4-Diamonds}. Green check-called another bet, and Isaia tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for a set of kings and the nut-low.

"Nice hand," Green muttered, mucking his hand.

Green is now on life support, while Isaia is looking to reach his second final table this week.

Shaun Deeb Eliminated in 18th Place ($20,564)

Level 20 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante
Shaun Deeb - 18th place
Shaun Deeb - 18th place

Mikael Thuritz raised before the flop, and Shaun Deeb called from the big blind to go heads-up.

It came {Q-Spades} {7-Clubs} {2-Spades}, and Deeb check-called a bet. On the {10-Clubs} turn, though, he led out, and Thuritz was the one doing the calling. On the river, the {J-Clubs} filled out the board, and Deeb had just one bet left. He thought for just a moment before sticking it in there, and Thuritz quickly called.

"Straight," Deeb announced, and it was no good. Thuritz's {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} appeared on the other side of the felt, followed by the {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} as the best four-card hand. Deeb dropped his cards down onto the table with a frustrated sigh, then quickly asked where to get his cashout ticket. It'll be worth just more than $20,000.

Arieh Escapes the Basement

Level 20 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Mack Lee raised before the flop, and Josh Arieh defended his big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades} {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}, and Arieh led out with a bet. Lee called, and he called a big bet after the {7-Clubs} turn as well. Arieh had just 3,000 chips left, and he splashed them in as the {9-Hearts} hit the river. Lee quickly called, and we'd never see his cards.

Arieh turned up {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Spades}, and his ace-high flush gives him the double-up to 164,000.

Taylor Scoops Thuritz

Brendan Taylor raised from under the gun, and the action folded all the way to Mack Lee and Mikael Thuritz who called from the blinds. The flop came down {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Lee and Thuritz checked, and Taylor tossed out a bet. Both players called.

The turn brought the {10-Clubs}, Lee checked once more, and Thuritz tossed out a bet. Taylor called, and Lee folded.

The river was the {3-Spades}, and Thuritz slowed down, checking to Taylor who bet. Thuritz tank-called, and Taylor tabled {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a rivered wheel. Thuritz sighed with disbelief before mucking his hand, and the sizable pot was scooped by Taylor.

Deeb Drops Again

Level 20 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Brendan Taylor opened with a raise preflop, and Shaun Deeb raised to three bets. Taylor called, and it was heads up the rest of the way.

The flop came {K-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, and Taylor check-called a bet from Deeb. On the {J-Diamonds} turn, Taylor checked again, and Deeb checked behind before the {5-Clubs} landed on fifth street. Taylor took the lead now, and Deeb called his bet.

"Ace-five," Taylor said, and Deeb shot out of his seat at the sight of his opponent's {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades}.

"Why the f*** did I give you that free card?!" Deeb yelled at himself. He gave his cards one last look before slapping them into the muck, and he's fallen back to 96,000 with that loss.

Deeb Flushes the Flop

Level 20 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Mike Sexton limped in from early position, and both Josh Arieh and Shaun Deeb took a cheap flop from the blinds.

Three-handed, the dealer spread out {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {K-Hearts} and all three players checked to the {8-Diamonds} turn. Deeb bet second to act, Sexton folded, and Arieh check-called to see the {8-Hearts} land on the river. Arieh check-called another bet, and Deeb announced his nine-high flush:

{6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} {8-Clubs}

It was good, and Deeb moves up to 173,000 with that pot, knocking Arieh down to short-stacked territory with just 78,000 chips left.

Green Quads Up

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Quads are good
Quads are good

With the board reading {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Alessio Isaia check-called a bet from Perry Green. The river was the {5-Diamonds}, and Isaia checked to Green who bet again. Isaia went into the tank for nearly half a minute before calling, and quickly mucked when Green opened up {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for quads.
