Drummond In The Lead vs. Venovski

Mickey Doft

Level 59 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

After a {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop, Michael Drummond checked it to Alexander Venovski who bet 10,000. A raise to 26,000 came from Drummond, but Venovski re-raised to 55,000. Drummond put an end to the raising shenanigans and shoved.

Venovski snap folded his hand to give Drummond the pot.

Both players have both of their lammers behind, but Drummond holds about a 205,000 to 115,000 lead.

Parker Doubles Quickly Through Polk

Mickey Doft

Level 59 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Douglas Polk opted to use one of his lammers immediately to have a stack of 320,000. Brock Parker kept his two lammers behind to start with 160,000 and has evened the match.

Picking up the action on a {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} board, Polk's bet of 42,000 was called by Parker. When the {5-Spades} river fell, Polk bet enough to cover Parker's stack. It didn't take long for Parker to call.

"Eight high," said Polk.

Parker tabled {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} for a flush to score the first blow in the match.

One Match Remains

Mickey Doft

Level 58 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Eevert Kokkonen vs. Max Steinberg is the last match going in the round of 32 and Kokkonen just doubled up to take a solid lead.

He opened to 20,000 on the button and Steinberg defended his big blind to see a {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop. A check from Steinberg led to a bet of 25,000 from Kokkonen. That was met with a min-raise from Steinberg to 50,000, but Kokkonen came back over the top to 81,000. Steinberg jammed with the bigger stack, Kokkonen called, and the hands were revealed.

Kokkonen: {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}
Steinberg: {K-Hearts} {6-Spades}

Kokkonen was ahead with top pair and maintained it through the {q-Hearts} turn and {4-Spades} river to double up and take about a 380,000 to 100,000 lead.

Gross Gets By Elias

Mickey Doft

With the chip lead, Jeffrey Gross shoved on the button. Darren Elias called all in for about 60,000 with {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} . He looked to get there against the {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} of Gross, but it was going to be difficult to do so after the flop fell {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . Elias paired his king, but Gross was well ahead with bottom set. The {8-Hearts} turn and {5-Diamonds} officially ended it, sending Gross to the sweet 16 where he will face Vanessa Selbst.

Jeffrey Gross	480,000	240,000
