Weisner Takes A Hit

Level 29 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Tommy Vedes opened from the button and made it 3,100, it was then on Melanie Weisner who pushed forward 7,600. Vedes then three-bet to around 19,000 and Weisner moved all in and was called.

Weisner: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Vedes: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

With a {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop being spread Vedes stole the lead with his pair of queens. A {6-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, and a {2-Clubs} river card caused Weisner to use her last lammer and add on.

Steven Landfish First Player to Reach The Money

After winning the third round players will be in the money and Steven Landfish just secured himself of a $10,966 pay day beating Peter Jetten. We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Landfish had 18,000 chips out in front of him. Jetten had two green 25,000 chips out in front of him indicating a check-raise and the action was on Landfish.

"I'm all in," Landfish said after some time and Jetten called right away. Landfish showed {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was drawing slim against Jetten's {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. "An eight?" Landfish asked the dealer who burned and dealt the {8-Clubs} on the river. Jetten jumped his chair and looked disgusted, he had just lost the match. Steven Landfish moves on to the next round and will play the winner of the match between Daniel Negreanu and Jonathan Jaffe.

Negreanu Taking Charge

Level 27 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

With a {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} board exposed in the middle of the felt Daniel Negreanu check-called a bet from his opponent, Jonathan Jaffe who made it 8,200. A {9-Diamonds} on the turn brought another check from Negreanu, and a 12,000 bet from Jaffe. Negreanu quickly moved all in, and Jaffe collapsed in frustration. After a few moments Jaffe disappointingly threw his cards away.

Silverman Forced To Rebuy

Level 27 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Moses Silverman just raised to 2,500 from the button and Brock Parker three-bet to 7,500. Silverman decided to make it 14,500 with just around 25,000 left behind and Parker moved all in covering his opponent. Silverman wasn't happy but after around 20 seconds he did end up making the call.

Parker showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and was doing pretty good against Silverman's {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} giving Parker an early lead. Silverman cashed in his first lammer while Parker still has two left behind.

Early Win For Mizrachi

Level 23 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Michael Mizrachi just busted Mark Radoja's first bullet. On a (Jc}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} board Mizrachi just checked to Radoja who bet 5,200 and Mizrachi moved all in. Radoja tanked for a bit and called whereafter he mucked when Mizrachi showed {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Radoja cashed in a lammer and Mizrachi gains some early momentum.
