Bloch Sends Stjean to the Rail

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Bloch: (x)(x) / {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} /(x)
Buchman: (x)(x) / {q-Spades}{6-Clubs} FOLDED
Stjean: (x){8-} / {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} / (x)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Andy Bloch bet and was raised by Larry Stjean. Eric Buchman called, and then Bloch put in a third bet. Stjean just called, and Buchman decided to get out of the way. Both players checked fifth street before Stjean checked called for the remainder of his chips on sixth street with a pair of eights, and was drawing thin against Bloch's {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} in the hole for two pair. Seventh street was no help for Stjean, and Bloch took down the hand with two pair to increase his chip total to 70,000.

Pitt's Aces are Good

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Colby Pitt - (x) (x) / {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / (x)
Mark Provenzano - (x) (x) / {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} / (x)

Provenzano brought it in with the {2-Clubs}, and Pitt completed with the {a-Spades}. The action folded back to Provenzano who called, and he also called bets on fourth, fifth and sixth street. On seventh, Pitt slowed down, checking to Provenzano who fired a bet. Pitt called, and Provenzano opened up {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for absolutely nothing. Pitt tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces, and shipped the pot.

Buchman Booming, Deeb Sinking

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Shaun Deeb - (x) (x) / {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / (x)
Andy Bloch - (x) (x) / {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs} / (x)
Eric Buchman - (x) (x) / {2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{a-Spades} / (x)

We caught the action on sixth street, where Deeb checked, Buchman bet, and both Bloch and Deeb called. On seventh the same action occurred, except Bloch got out of the way and only Deeb called. Buchman tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for two-pair; aces and kings, and Deeb angrily mucked his hand.

Buchman is now in command of a huge chip-lead with 220,000, while Deeb is left with only 29,000.

Isaia busts Weiss

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Weiss: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} / {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades} / (x)
Isaia: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}/ {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-} / {9-Hearts}

Stephen Wise has just been eliminated from the tournament. We saw him raise on third street, only to have Alessio Isaia reraise him. Weiss called, then checked call on fourth and fifth street, where he was all in. Weiss revealed sevens in the hole, while Isaia revealed kings in the hole for two pair. Isaia unneccessary improved to kings and nines on seventh, and Weiss was drawing very thin to survive. He took a look at his last card, then mucked his hand and headed to the rail.

Shaun Deeb fighting back

Eric Buchman - (x) (x) / {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} / (x)
Shaun Deeb - (x) (x) / {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} / (x)

To start the hand, Buchman completed and Deeb made the call. Buchman proceeded to lead out on fourth and fifth, and Deeb called, but when Deeb picked up a pair of jacks on sixth he was the one who led out. Buchman called.

Both players checked on seventh, and Buchman opened up {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for tens and sixes. Deeb had him beat though, tabling {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} for jacks and nines. Deeb bounced back to 62,000 chips, while Buchman dipped back below 200,000.

Fluss Sends Provenzano Packing

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Fluss: {a-Spades}{8-Spades} / {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / {9-Hearts}
Provenzano: {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} / {k-Spades}

Mark Provenzano was all in for less then one big bet on third street, and he went heads up with Marc Fluss. Fluss hit his board pretty hard, making aces up on fifth street and improving to a full house on seventh. Provenzano was never able to catch up at any point in the hand, and was eliminated.

Deeb on Fire

Shaun Deeb is en fuego.

Arash Ghaneian - (x) (x) / {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} / (x)

We caught up with the action on fifth street, where Deeb and Ghaneian got four bets in. Ghaneian did not raise on sixth however, opting just to call Deeb's bet. On seventh, Deeb check-raised Ghaneian, who called, and Deeb showed {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trip aces. Ghaneian mucked, and Deeb is up to 92,000 chips.
