Utt's Kings Go Down

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Garrett Utt
Garrett Utt

Garrett Utt just doubled up an opponent to drop back to 55,000 in chips. All of the money went in on the {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop with Utt holding the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. His opponent had flopped top set with a pair of eights and held up as the turn and river ran out with the {4-Clubs} and {Q-Diamonds}.

Teisch Gets a Two-for-One

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Evan Teisch just busted two players, one of whom was Nabih Zaczac. The money went in preflop with Teisch holding the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Zaczac the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and the third player the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

The board ran through {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Teisch's set of kings won him the entire pot. He's now up to 108,000 in chips.

Kabrhel Isn't Invincible

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and was called by both the player on the button and the player in the big blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{K-Spades} and it was checked to Kabrhel, who fired out 4,400. The player on the button went into the tank before announcing that he was all in for 34,000 total.

The player in the big blind got out of the way and Kabrhel deliberated before finally moving his cards into the muck. While this is proof that Kabrhel can actually lose a pot this tournament, he is still our dominating chip leader, with over 100,000 more than the player who is second in chips.

Reddy Hanging On

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a preflop raise and a call, Sumanth Reddy moved all of his chips in the middle from the big blind. Action folded back around to the player on the button who thought for a solid two minutes before mucking his hand. Reddy showed him {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and his opponent flashed {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

"I'm REALLY glad you folded" Reddy said, not wanting to get his tournament life in with a race situation. This pot brings him to about 40,000.

Reiman Wins a Race

Ty Reiman
Ty Reiman

Somehow or another Ty Reiman managed to get low on chips, last time we checked on him he was hovering around 100,00. He was sitting with around 28,000 when he got all in against Randal Flowers preflop.

Reiman: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Flowers: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

It was essentially a coin flip, one Reiman would rather not lose seeing as his tournament life was on the line. Both players wished each other good luck and a board of {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} was spread out. It was Reiman who came out the victor with two pair aces and nines.

Avery's Action Hand

A player in early position made it 4,000 to any one who wanted to see a flop. Christopher Avery in middle position then reraised and made it 14,000, a third player in the hijack position went all in for 40,000. The player in early position folded and when it was back on Avery he made the call.

Avery: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Hijack: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Both players managed to hit exactly what they were looking for on a {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, but it was Avery's three kings that were best. With one card left in the deck that could help him Avery's opponent was in dire need of some help. He received none as the {3-Spades} and the {7-Diamonds} rolled off for the turn river.

With this hand Christopher Avery has moved passed 150,000 in chips.

Frankenberger Finishes Level in a Good Way

Andy Frankenberger raised to 4,500 in middle position and was called by the hijack and the small blind, the big blind however however reraised and made it to 13,500 to all players. When the action finally got back to Frankenberger he four bet and made it 30,000. The hijack and the small blind folded, and when it was on the big blind he moved all in. Frankenberger instantly called.

Frankenberger: {A-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

An unlucky spot for the big blind, but one that happens none the less. After all the chips were settled the dealer put out five cards {5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Frankenberger had a set of aces and was able to win a huge pot, putting him around 185,000 in chips.
