Kings Into Aces for Young

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Facing an under the gun raise to 5,500, Jordan Young three-bet to 12,700 from the hi-jack. With the action back on the original raiser, he moved all in for 43,400 and Young made the call.

Young: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to see Young's cooler force him to slip to roughly 147,000 in chips.

Queens No Good For Kathy Liebert

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Kathy Liebert's Ladies Let Her Down
Kathy Liebert's Ladies Let Her Down

After Noah Bronstein opened from the button, Kathy Leibert three-bet and Bronstein four-bet to put Liebert all-in.

The highly successful tournament pro made the call and showed down {Q-}{Q-}, but found that she was in bad shape against Bronstein's {A-}{A-}.

The final board brought no ladies and now this event has one less lady as well. Liebert was eliminated while Bronstein built a sizable stack to wield at tonight's feature table.

Eames Creams Opponent

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We just saw a player with barely under 50,000 all in on a {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop against John Eames. Eames held middle set with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} while his opponent had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for top pair and an inside straight draw. The {5-Spades} turn and {K-Spades} river provided no help for the player and Eames took him out and built his stack to 153,000.

Turner Time Yet Again

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In what was already a sizeable pot preflop between two of our bigger stacks, David Peters checked to Jon Turner who bet 15,600 on a {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. The big blind called and the {K-Diamonds} got checked through. On the {10-Spades} however, after Peters checked, Turner kicked it into high gear and bet a massive 42,000. After giving it some thought, Peters mucked and Turner catapulted all the way up to 170,000 while Peters dropped to 127,000.

Abdo Nails Two Outer to Double Through

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Finding himself far behind the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} held by his opponent on a board of {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Greg Aldo needed a miracle to arrive on the river if his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} was to overcome top pair.

The dealer slowly peeled the {9-Diamonds} on the river and Aldo spiked a two-outer to stay alive as Day 2 of this $1,000 NL Hold'Em event continues.

Rood Climbing

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a flop of {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades} we found David Rood and his opponent putting three bets in before the {7-Clubs} was checked through on the turn.

When the river landed the {4-Hearts} Rood moved all in to force his opponent's cards into the muck.

With that pot, Rodd moves to roughly 230,000 in chips.

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Gavin Griffin Gone On Day 2
Gavin Griffin Gone On Day 2

We caught up with the action with Jackson Su and Gavin Griffin off to the races in an all-in confrontation. Griffin held the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and needed help to surpass the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} held by Su.

The board rolled out {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Griffin was eliminated, leaving Su to count count his massive stack of more than 220,000 chips, which puts him amongst our tournament leaders.
