Jarvis Cold Four-Bets

One player in middle position raised to 950 and then the hijack seat three-bet to 2,700. Matthew Jarvis was in the cutoff seat and stuck in a four-bet to 5,875. That four-bet was good enough to win him the pot.

Freddy Deeb Eliminated

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Freddy Deeb was all in for his last few thousand chips with the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} preflop. He was up against the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for Ayaz Mahmood, last year's $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship champion.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} to put Mahmood in the lead with a pair of eights. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river the {K-Spades}. Both of those missed Deeb, which meant Mahmood got the win and earned the elimination with his two pair, eights and sixes.

Lindgren Trips Up to 50k

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
Erick Lindgren (from Event #3)
Erick Lindgren (from Event #3)

Tim West entered the pot with a raise to 1,200 only to have Erick Lindgren three-bet the cutoff to 3,700.

The small blind smooth-called as West mucked before the dealer dropped a {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. Lindgren continued for 4,200 with his opponent making the call as the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Faced with another check, Lindgren pushed out a 9,500-chip bet which was called by the small blind as the dealer delivered the {J-Diamonds} on the river.

The small blind tapped the table once more before Lindgren cut out a bet amounting to 15,500. His opponent went deep into the tank before making the call, only to muck at the sight of Lindgren's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} as the recently wed pro moves to over 50,000 in chips.

Some Exits

A few of our notables and their chairs have been found empty.

As Jarred Solomon was heading down the hallway, he bumped into our PokerNews reporter and explained to us that his {8-Spades}{7-Spades} was unable to spike against pocket fives.

Richey Chips Up

Chris Klodnicki raised to 1,100 from middle position and Brett Richey called in the hijack seat. Scott Montgomery also called from the small blind and the three players went to the flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Action checked to Richey and he bet 2,400. Montgomery called and Klodnicki folded.

After the {3-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, Montgomery checked to Richey. He bet 5,600 and won the pot.

Schwartz Takes a Hit

With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the pot brewing at roughly 13,000, one of chip leaders in Noah Schwartz was faced with an 8,400-chip bet.

Spending nearly three minutes deliberating his decision, Schwartz eventually opted to muck, but even with that small dent to his stack, he still sits on over 64,000 and change.
