Wood-Pecker

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Ben Lamb checked from the big blind position to Cory Wood on a {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. Wood bet 65,000 and Lamb proceeded to call.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and again Lamb check-called a bet from Wood, this time for 175,000. The river was the {10-Spades} and Lamb checked for a third time. Wood thought for only a bit before tabling {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a straight to the Ten.

Lamb mucked and slips to 775,000 while Wood becomes our new chip leader with 1,325,000.

Alex Kravchenko Eliminated in 17th Place ($32,644)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Matt Glantz was able to eliminate Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko when the money went in on a {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop. Glantz was able to force Cory Wood out of the hand and held {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for top two pair. Kravchenko held {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and would need to improve if he wanted to continue playing. The {9-Hearts} and {5-Diamonds} turn-river bricked off though and he had no choice but to hit the rail.

Kabbaj Gets a Huge Double Up

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Sami Kelopuro opened the action with a raise from the button to 55,000 before John Kabbaj three-bet from the small blind to 180,000. Kelopuro thought for a long while before sliding in the chips for a call.

The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Kabbaj led for 150,000. Kelopuro decided to raise all in and Kabbaj had a pretty easy decision to make the call as he held {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} for top set and the current nuts. Kelopuro wasn't dead though with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. He would need a King for a better set or a Ten for a straight. The turn was the {9-Hearts} though and took away hit straight outs. The river was the {10-Clubs} but it was too late, Kabbaj had already boated up.

Kabbaj has 1.3 million while Kelopuro is crippled and left with just 300,000.
