Brikis Bounced

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Josh Brikis
Josh Brikis

Josh Brikis has just been sent to the rail when his {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} was unable to hold against his opponent's {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Although turning a straight draw, a king on the river would end Brikis' see-sawing day on the felt in Event #24.

Bye-Bye, Brenes

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

We got to the table right as the cards were being turned up for a preflop all in. Humberto Brenes' tournament life was on the line after he called all in for his short stack from the big blind when Maxim Lykov pushed him all in from the small blind.

Lykov: {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Brenes: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The board came {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Lykov's pair of kings was enough to send Brenes to the rail. The play at this table is now three-handed with Lykov in dominant chip position.

Getzwiller Takes Control

We are unsure of the exact action, but Sean Getzwiller has just found a massive double through Brendon Rubie to take a commanding lead in their three-handed battle.

Getzwiller held {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to Rubie's {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and after the board was spread {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, he doubled through to roughly 90,000 as Rubie was left crippled with under ten-big blinds.

Dwan Bites the Dust

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We caught up with the action on a {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop and noticed Tom Dwan was already all-in preflop from the big blind. The small blind fired a 6,000 bet, which got a fold from the only other player in the hand.

Dwan: {5-Spades}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Durrrr had a fighting chance with his open-ender, but the {A-Diamonds} turn and {J-Diamonds} river bricked for Dwan, who was eliminated.

Laak Drops The Hammer

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Phil Laak
Phil Laak

While playing three-handed, Phil Laak raised to 1,800 from the small blind.

"How much did he raise?" the big blind player asked. "18? Alright 18 more"

Before the player could finish his words Laak dropped a stack of orange chips, worth 5,000 each, in the middle. This bet would put the player in the big blind all in. Clearly a little steamed at Laak's aggression, the player mucked his cards and Laak picked up the pot. The "Unabomber" is currently sitting healthy as the table's chip leader.

Haxton Here to Play

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

In a small blind vs. big blind confrontation, Isaac Haxton completed from the small and his opponent raised to 2,000 from the big. Haxton wasted litle time going all-in for about 24,000 total. His opponent tanked hard, but eventually mucked.

Haxton showed the {A-Spades} and mucked his hand.

Haxton is up to 27,000.
