Lee Sends One Packing

With a raise in the hi-jack to 2,100, Bernard Lee made the call from the cutoff, as did the button.

On a {K-}{Q-}{5-} flop, the action was checked to Lee who pushed out a 3,100-chip bet. The button moved all in, and when the hi-jack folded, Lee made the call.

Lee: {5-}{5-}
Button: {A-}{A-}

With Lee in the lead, the {8-} on the turn, followed by the {Q-} on the river ensured he moved to 37,000 in chips.

West is a Winner

We caught up with the action to see a three-way all in. Two short stacks were all in holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Tim West made the call with {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, having both of the players covered.

The board came {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and West made a straight, sending two players home and bringing the field two more eliminations closer to cashing.

Boeree Busto

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Liv Boeree was down to her last 10,000, and she got it all in preflop along with two other players. Unfortunately, for Boeree, she had the worst of the three hands, and would need to improve.

Boeree: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Opponent 2: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out ten high, coming {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and Boeree was knocked out of the tournament.

Akkari Turns Double

With a raise from middle position to 1,800, Andre Akkari pushed his last 9,800 into the pot and was called by the preflop raiser.

Akkari: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The board was spread {8-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to see Akkari spike his queen to move to 22,000 in chips.

Break It Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The players are taking a 20-minute break while the staff colors up the T25 green chips. When they come back, we will play one more level, before the chips are tagged and bagged.

Some Random Chip Counts

Grinder Eliminated

We didn't catch how the hand played out, but when we went over to his table, Michael Mizrachi's chips were being counted down. The board read {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and while Mizrachi had {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, his opponent had {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. When the chips were counted out, it was determined that Mizrachi had fewer chips, and he has been busted.
