Walk for Ross

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The action was folded one-by-one round to Thomas Ross who found a walk in the big blind.

"I had deuce-three!" stated Richard Lyndaker before Ross tabled his {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

"I had ace-ten!" stated the normally aggressive Ricky Fohrenbach who was positioned on the button.

"Tell that f**king story to someone else!" laughed Ross as he happily collected the small blind and antes.

Carlos Mortensen Eliminated in 17th Place ($33,540)

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen - 17th Place
Carlos Mortensen - 17th Place

Joseph Kuether opened to 52,000 from the hi-jack only to have Jesse Channi three-bet to 115,000 from the cutoff. With the action on Carlos Mortensen, he moved all in for roughly 300,000 to force a fold from Kuether but a call from Channi.

Mortensen: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Channi: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

There would be a slight sweat on the turn for Mortensen, but the final board of {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} would ensure Mortensen would exit in 17th place for a $33,540 payday.

Gonsalves Pushing

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Richard Lyndaker opened the cutoff to 54,000 only to have Markus Gonsalves three-bet shove for 345,000. Lyndaker took his time before folding to see Gonsalves raked in the pot to move to over 420,000.

The next hand the action folded to Gonsalves in the small blind and he pushed all in. Farzad Bonyadi tank-folded to see Gonsalves' stack grow further.

Bari Bulldozers a Double

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Allen Bari opened the hi-jack to 48,000 and Brian Lemke made the call from the button to see a {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop fall.

Bari fired out a continuation-bet of 52,000 and Lemke made the call as the {K-Hearts} on the turn was checked through to Lemke who fired out 80,000. Bari check-called as the {6-Clubs} landed on the river and Bari checked for a second time.

Lemke announced he was all in, and after some deliberation, Bari made the call for his 344,000 in chips.

Bari tabled his {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, which was enough to ensure the double to 1,050,000 after Lemke mucked his hand while slipping to 300,000.

Simon Charette Eliminated in 16th Place ($33,540)

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Simon Charette - 16th Place
Simon Charette - 16th Place

Joseph Kuether entered the pot from the hi-jack for 52,000 only to be met with an all in raise from Simon Charette. Frank Rusnak followed suit by pushing from the big blind as Kuether quietly pushed his cards to the muck.

Charette: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Rusnak: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board of {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} would ensure that Charette fell to the rail in 16th place, earning himself $33,540 as Rusnak climbs to 885,000 in chips.

Lemke Doubles

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds we found Frank Rusnak shipping over 347,000 to Brian Lemke after a preflop all in clash.

Rusnak held {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to be in dominated shape against Lemke's {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and when the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts} board was spread, Lemke scooped the double to over 700,000 in chips.

Katz Confuses Chinni with Bet Sizing

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On the flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Cary Katz check-raised Jesse Chinni's bet of 55,000 to 125,000. Chinni made the call to see the {2-Diamonds} fall on the turn and complete a possible flush draw. Katz checked and Chinni bet 110,000. Katz made the call.

The {8-Clubs} paired the board on the river and after a couple minutes in the tank, Katz bet 50,000. Chinni seemed a little puzzled by the bet sizing and thought for a bit himself. He asked Katz how much he had left, which was 311,000, and then made the call.

Katz tabled the {K-Spades}{8-Spades} for trip eights, but that wasn't good against the {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} that Chinni held for a flush.
