Dinner Break

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We have reach the end of Level 12, and players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. We still have 42 players left, so the money bubble will have to burst after the players get some food.

Level: 13

Limits: 1,500/3,000

Ante: 300

The Bubble Has Burst!!

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Bowes: {a-Clubs}{q-}/ {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} / {j-Spades}
Wice: {9-Clubs}{k-Clubs} / {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} / {k-Hearts}

After Kerry Shakura was eliminated minutes into level 13, we found our bubble boy in Deon Bowes, and he was eliminated in brutal fashion. The last of Bowes's chips were in the middle on fourth street, where he had a pair of aces against Alex Wice's four club draw. Wice picked up a pair of jacks on fifth street, then made two pair on sixth street. However, Bowes also picked up two pair with his aces and twos, and needed to dodge Wice's full house and flush draw outs on the river. Bowes failed to improve on the river, and Wice drew the {k-Hearts} to made a full boat on seventh street and knocked out Bowes on the bubble. For the remaining 40 players, they are now at least $2,612 richer.

David Tighe has been eliminated from the tournament by Alex Wice. We caught the action on fifth street when the two got all in, and Tighe failed to make a better full house or quads and was eliminated in 39th place.

Deeb flipped up {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for trip eights, and Bloch mucked his hand. Deeb has jumped over the 100k mark with 106,000 in chips, while Bloch falls down to 69,000.

Katchalov Catches King High Straight

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Katchalov: (x)(x) / {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} / (x)
Deeb: (x)(x): {q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / (x)

We caught the action in this hand between Eugene Katchalov and Shaun Deeb on fifth street. Deeb bet, and Katchalov raised. Deeb called, and then check-called on sixth and seventh street. Katchalov flipped up {k-}{10-} for a king high straight, and Deeb mucked.

After the hand, Eric Buchman needled Deeb a bit, saying that Katchalov seems to have his number. Deeb chuckled and responded with, "He just got there earlier then he usually does in that hand." Deeb drops to 76,000, while Katchalov is up to 88,000.

Maze Moves On

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Ronald Maze has been eliminated by Dennis Parker. The two got it in on fifth street with the boards looking like this:

Maze: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} / {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Parker: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} / {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Maze needed a jack to make a straight or running cards to make a better three-of-a-kind, but failed to improve when he was dealt the {6-Diamonds} on sixth, and the {8-Diamonds} on seventh. Parker received the {a-Clubs}, and the {k-Diamonds} - two of Maze's outs - to ship the pot and score the knockout.

By George

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Christopher George - (x) (x) / {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / (x)
Kai Landry - (x) (x) / {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} / (x)

George brought in, Landry completed, and the action folded back to George who made the call. Landry led out on fourth and fifth, and George called both bets. Landry slowed down, check-calling bets on both sixth and seventh, but mucked when George opened up {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for two pair; tens and threes.

George jumped to 34,000 chips, while Landry slipped to just 12,500.
