Quick Break

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Ricky Fohrenbach - 11th Place

Sadan Turker raised to 57,000 from under-the-gun and Ricky Fohrenbach reraised all in from the small blind. Turker made the call.

Fohrenbach: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran dry for Fohrenbach, coming {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Spades} and ending his second deep run of the 2011 WSOP. (Fohrenbach finished sixth in the Event 4 $5,000 No Limit Hold'em event just a couple days ago.)

Turner Snaps Off Turker, Breaks the Three Million Mark

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner raised to 57,000 out of the small blind in a blind vs. blind situation and Sadan Turker reraised to 150,000. Turner called.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Turner checked, prompting a bet (we missed the exact size) from Turker. Turner flatted.

Both players checked when the {A-Diamonds} came on the turn and Turner checked a third time when the {6-Spades} filled the river. Turker responded by making it 277,000 to go. Turner fell deep into the tank. He thought for about four minutes before tossing in a call and posturing himself as if he were ready to muck the second he found out he was second best. However, Turker rapped the table and Turner showed the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Turker mucked his hand.

Turner is now up to 3,010,000 while Turker has slipped to 1,960,000.

Frey Chips Up

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hunter Frey and Daniel Haglund were involved in a big pot shortly after play resumed from the dinner break. Haglund raised to 51,000 from under the gun and Frey re raised to 135,000. Haglund called and the flop came {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

Frey led out with a 153,000 bet and Haglund called. The turn brought the {9-Clubs}. Both players checked the turn.

The {4-Spades} fell on the river. Frey led out with a 225,000 bet. Haglund tanked for a while before finally calling. Frey showed {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Haglund folded his cards into the muck.

Brandon Shane Eliminated in 12th Place ($38,128)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Brandon Shane raised all-in for his remaining 320,000 and was called by Jon "PearlJammer" Turner from the small blind. The big blind folded, to which Turner said, "Good fold."

Shane: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Turner: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs}, which offered little help to Shane. However, Shane picked up a bunch of outs when the {7-Spades} landed on the turn, which caused Shane's rail to start chanting "Spade! Spade!"

Unfortunately for Shane, a {7-Hearts} fell on the river, ending his deep run.

Turner is up to about 2,360,000.

John Gordon Eliminated in 13th Place ($29,743)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
John Gordon - 13th Place
John Gordon - 13th Place

John Gordon pushed his last 217,000 into the pot, and after thinking for nearly ninety seconds, Hunter Frey smooth-called from the cutoff.

Gordon: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Frey: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

With Gordon trailing and in desperate need to snag a piece of the flop, the {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop gave him some outs to a running chop along with his nine for a straight up win.

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn was on of those outs as he now needed any five or four to take half, or a nine to take the full pot. Unfortunately for Gordon, the river would land the {3-Diamonds} to see his tournament end in 13th place, and as he made his way to the cashier to collect his $29,743 in winnings, Frey moved to over 1.5 million.
