Fleyshman Filleted

Dan Fleyshman was all in on a flop of {5-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for around 110,000 holding {10-Spades}{8-Spades} against the {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of Thorsten Schafe. Fleyshman was looking to fill his open-ended straight draw, a feat he was unable to accomplish as both the turn and river blanked and sent him to the rail.

Meanwhile, Eric Baldwin made his exit from the tournament, the details of which we're unaware.

Cousineau Can't Grind a Cash

Amir Lehavot raised to 11,500 and was met with a reraise to 41,000 from Tony Cousineau on the button. After the blinds got out of the way, Lehavot raised and Cousineau called all in for 48,500 total.

Lehavot: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Cousineau: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop left Cousineau wanting, but it was the {10-Diamonds} turn that left him looking for an eight or king. Unfortunately for him, the {9-Clubs} blanked on the river and he was eliminated shy of the money.

Moorman and Levi Tangle

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Chris Moorman and NIcholas Levi saw a flop of {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Spades}. Both players checked to the {3-Hearts} turn. Moorman check-raised an 8,000 bet from Levi to 22,000. Levi called and the river fell {7-Diamonds}.

Moorman took a few moments before sliding out a 45,500. Levi went deep into the tank with only around 50,000 left. He eventually folded and Moorman is near 300,000.

Karr Busts Carroll

Action folded to James Carroll on the button and he raised to 11,000. McLean Karr pushed back from the big blind by making it 33,000 to go, but he was soon met with a pot-sized raise from Carroll. Karr put in another raise and Carroll called off his remaining stack, which wasn't that much.

Karr: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Carroll: {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

We're not exaggerating when we say the pocket pairs have won every similar race we've written about today, so we weren't expecting any different. True to form, the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the eights held to eliminate Carroll.

Clock

On a board reading {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Steve Gross led out for 20,000 and was met with a raise to 48,500 from Jason Somerville. Gross made the call and then checked the {5-Hearts} river, which prompted Somerville to bet 115,000. Gross then proceeded to hit the tank . . . hard. He thought for a solid six minutes before Daniel Negreanu finally called a clock. During the ten-second countdown Gross reluctantly released his hand.

Bax Builds Up

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Cliff Josephy rasied and Robert Mizrachi called from the big blind. The flop came {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} and Mizrachi bet enough to put Josephy all in. Josephy called and tabled {Q-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Mizrachi held {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and was hoping for his gutshot draw to hit.

The board completed {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and Josephy made trips and bumped his stack to 35,000 and Mizrachi slipped to 225,000.

Flopped Two Pair Results in Lindgren's Elimination

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

We caught the following hand on the turn with a board reading {K-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. We do know that it was limped preflop and that Erick Lindgren checked the turn. His sole opponent, Jarred Solomon, then bet 32,000, Lindgren check-raised to 84,000, Solomon reraise, and pretty soon all the money was in the pot.

Lindgren: {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Solomon: {K-Spades}{6-Spades}

As you can see, both players had flopped two pair with Solomon's being the best. Lindgren needed a four on the river to stay alive, but it came down the {6-Diamonds} to give Solomon a boat. Lindgren was eliminated late on Day 2.
