Top Pair for Somerville

Picking up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board, Jason Somerville checked and Brian Rast bet 4,500. Sam Stein flatted behind and Somerville then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades} and Somerville checked. Rast also checked and Stein bet 11,700. Somerville took a minute, then called. Rast folded.

"You got it," said Stein and Somerville showed the {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Stein mucked and Somerville's top pair won the pot.

Break

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The players are now on a 20-minute break. At the completion of this break, the registration/re-entry period will be closed.

Level: 7

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

No More Ivey

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Phil Ivey busted early on from the event and although he was asking about the re-entry, he has not come back. With registration now closed, Ivey is officially no longer in the field. He is already entered in the Big One for One Drop, so we'll be seeing him in action tomorrow anyway.

Osalian Busts Schwartz

With about 35,000 in the middle on a flop of {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Sarkiss Osalian bet 25,000 after thinking for a while. Luke Schwartz tanked painfully and then moved all in for around 50,000. Osalian called.

Osalian: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Schwartz: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {J-Spades} and river the {5-Diamonds} to bust Schwartz and send Osalian up to 245,000 in chips.

Frankenberger Shoves On Mortensen

After Carlos Mortensen raised to 4,000 from the cutoff seat, Andy Frankenberger three-bet to 11,500 from the small blind. Mortensen called and the flop came down {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Frankenberger bet 18,500 and Mortensen called.

On the turn, the {2-Clubs} landed and Frankenberger moved all in for around 70,000-75,000. Mortensen folded and Frankenberger won the pot.
