Lazarou Lifts Stack

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Marco Traniello - (x) (x) / {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} (FOLDED)
Scott Seiver - (x) (x) / {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} / (x)
Vasili Lazarou (x) (x) / {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / (x)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Traniello bet, Seiver raised, and Lazarou put in a third bet. Traniello and Seiver called. On fifth, Traniello checked, Seiver bet, and both Lazarou and Traniello called. Traniello checked again on sixth and Seiver bet again, but this time only Lazarou called.

On seventh, Lazarou called another bet from Seiver, and opened up {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} for queens and tens. Seiver mucked, leaving himself with 17,500 chips, while Lazarou is up to 52,000.

Three Way Bust for Alex Wice

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Alex Wice Busts Three
Alex Wice Busts Three

Minh Nhuyen, Chip Jett and Andre Boyer all busted in the same hand to Alex Wice.

Nhuyen and Jett got their chips in with just one card up each. Boyer waited until fifth street, but Wice had already made trip Jacks. Nhuyen had trip eights by fifth and the other two players were drawing to runner runner.

Nhuyen boated eights full on sixth, officially eliminating the shortest stack, Chip Jett. Boyer had just a middle pair with one card left and was also drawing dead against the trips of Wice for a side pot. Wice, who has seemed extremely frustrated all day, threw down a paired king on seventh, scooped the pot and eliminated three talented players in the process.

Wice has chipped up to 45,000.

Schwartz Soars Back Into the Chip Lead

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Schwartz: (x)(x) / {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} /(x)
Roberts: (x)(x) / {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} (x)

Ylon Schwartz and Shaun Deeb have been exchanging the chip lead back and forth all day, but Schwartz has just put some distance between him and the field after this hand. We picked up the action on fourth street when Adam Roberts was all in showing {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for an open ended straight draw, while Schwartz revealed {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for two pair. Schwartz didn't improve, but he didn't need to, as Roberts, who was looking for high cards, got the {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and {5-}. Schwartz is the first player over 100k, as he is sitting at 115,000.

Deeb Doubles Boyer

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Andre Boyer started with the {5-Diamonds} showing, Shaun Deeb with the {5-Spades}, and they capped before fourth street was dealt. Boyer got the {6-Clubs}, Deeb the {10-Clubs}, and Boyer got the rest of his chips in the middle.

Boyer: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} / {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Deeb: {5-Hearts}{3-Spades} / {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Deeb did not improve with the {6-Hearts} on fifth or the {j-Hearts} on sixth, while Boyer was dealt the {9-Diamonds} and the {a-Spades} to take the lead with a pair of aces. Deeb sweated his down card on seventh before quickly mucking, and we failed to catch Boyer's seventh card before he mucked.

Deeb Defeats Dags

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

D'Agostino: (x)(x) / {3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / (x)
Deeb: (x)(x) / {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} / (x)

Shaun Deeb is continuing his hot streak in this tournament, as he has just knocked out John D'Agostino. We caught the action on fourth street, where Deeb led out with his pair of sixes. D'Agostino made a double raise with the pair on board, and Deeb called. Deeb then quickly check called on fifth and sixth street, before betting out on seventh to put Dags all in. Dags thought for a bit and called, and Deeb reveled {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} for jacks and sixes. Dags mucked, and Deeb took down the pot to get up to 70,000, the chip lead by our estimation.

"The Mailman" ReSeivers a Package

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jim "The Mailman" Paluszek
Jim "The Mailman" Paluszek

Paluszek: {X-}{X-}/{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}/{X-}
Seiver: {X-}{X-}/{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}/{X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-}/{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Scott Seiver brought in and an opponent with the {Q-Hearts} completed. Jim "The Mailman" Paluszek and Seiver both called. On fourth street, Paluszek took the lead and bet, only to find a raise from Seiver which isolated the action once Paluszek called.

On fifth street, Paluszek allowed Seiver to take the role of aggressor and check-called his bet. On sixth street, however, Seiver slowed down and both players saw seventh street for free. "The Mailman", as his friends call him, took control again with a bet which forced a fold from Seiver.

Paluszek made a flush on the very next hand and is nearing the 30,000 mark.

Ylon Keeps on Winning

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nah: (x)(x) / {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} / (x)
Schwartz: (x)(x) / {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / (x)

After a completion and a call, Ylon Swartz raised, and Hieu Ngoc Ma was the only player who came along. Ma bet out on fourth and fifth street, getting called both times by Schwartz. Schwartz then bet out on sixth and seventh street, and Ma thought for at least a minute before calling on seventh. Schwartz revelaed {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} in the hole for trip fours, the cards that he got on fifth, sixth, and seventh street, and Ma slammed the table as he showed {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for kings up and a losing hand. Schwartz is up to 63,000, and Ma has been knocked down to just 3,700.
