Andrews Jumps to Second; Busts One

Cherish Andrews In the Millionaire Club
Cherish Andrews In the Millionaire Club

We found Cherish Andrews looking down at a board of {6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. With over 400,000 in the pot, Andrews announced that she was all in for her remaining 470,000. Her opponent pondered for over a minute before announcing a call.

Andrews showed {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}.

"They're good," announced her opponent as he threw away his hand. The mass of chips in the middle of the table were pushed to Andrews and as she had her opponent covered, she was able to effectively reduce the field by one.

Kasputis Jr Doubles Through Foutty

With the board reading {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and about 60,000 in the middle, Jim Kasputis Jr. found himself facing a decision after he bet 45,000. Stephen Foutty raised all in with a slightly bigger stack.

After a little while in the tank, Kasputis Jr called with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Foutty sheepishly tabled {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and was not saved by the {2-Spades} river. Foutty busted shortly thereafter.

Kornuth Gets There

Tom Chambers opened to 30,000 under the gun and Baret Grigorian moved all in for 126,000 from the next seat. Adam Kornuth re-raised all in from the cutoff, successfully isolating the pot.

Kornuth: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Grigorian: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The flop and turn fell {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

"Stay low," said Grigorian.

River: {10-Clubs}

Kornuth spiked the river to score the elimination.

Three!

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tournament staff has announced three more hands before bagging and tagging for the evening.

"We Have a New Chip Leader!"

Joe Cada

...yelled Joe Cada's rail.

A monster pot in the last three hands of the evening has propelled Cada to the top of the counts.

From the small blind, Manig Loeser raised 30,000 and Joe Cada re-popped it to 77,000 from the big blind. Loeser four-bet to 177,000, but Cada had other ideas. He five-bet jammed with the bigger stack.

Loeser called all in immediately for about 750,000 with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and held a big lead on Cada's {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. However, the board rolled out {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} as Cada spiked the ace on the flop to not only eliminate Loeser, but take the chip lead in the process.
