First Table Down to Heads Up

Andy Frankenberger
Andy Frankenberger

The elimination of Andrew Frankenberger means his table is the first to gets to heads-up, as far as we can see.

Frankenberger opened to 200 and then four-bet all-in for around 2,000 when Brian Brubaker three-bet. Call.

Frankenberger; {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Brubaker: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The two players were shaking hands by the turn as it was all over.

Brubaker has about 40% of the chips in play as he battles heads-up with Jordan Cristo.

Matros Matters

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

After a series of raises preflop between Matt Matros and an unknown opponent it was off to the flop. With a {4-}{q-}{10-Diamonds} flop exposed in the middle Matros placed a bet that would put his opponent all in. A call was made and cards were tabled.

Matros {k-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-}{8-}

With a {7-Hearts} and a {j-Clubs} making an appearance on the turn Matos' hand held true and he eliminated the short stacked opponent.

Tom Schneider First Victor

We don't know what exactly happened on the winning hand, but what we do know is Tom Schneider out lasted nine other players and will be moving on to tomorrow. With only a handful of tables heads up Schneider has plenty of time to rest seeing as he finished in under four hours.

Somerville Sucks Out

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jason Somerville
Jason Somerville

With a {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop exposed in the middle of the table Jason Somerville bet out around 700. His opponent on the button then raised it to 1,700. Somerville took his time before moving all of his chips into the middle for about 5,000. A call was made and Somerville's tournament life was at risk.

Somerville: {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

With the {Q-Clubs} on the turn Somerville hit broadway and was one card away from doubling up. A {2-Diamonds} rattled off the deck for the river and Somerville was awarded the pot.
