Cousineau Sends Peeples Packing

Chad Holloway

Action folded to Roch Cousineau in the cutoff and he raised to 13,000. Brad Peeples was in the big blind and opted to three-bet all in for 35,000, which Cousineau called.

Showdown
Peeples: {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Cousineau: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

The {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} flop was alright for Peeples as it gave him a pair of queens and a low draw, but he still needed to improve to crack Cousineau's aces. Unfortunately for him, he wouldn't be able to do it as the {2-Diamonds} turned followed bu the {10-Clubs} on the river. Cousineau scooped the pot with aces and deuces, sending Peeples to the rail in 28th place.

JJProdigy Eliminated by Klein

Chad Holloway

In the last hand before the final 27 players were to redraw down to the final three tables, Loren Klein and Joshua "JJProdigy" Field each put in 48,000 preflop and saw a flop of {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} .

Field was first to act and checked, allowing Klein to bet 100,000. Field called off his remaining 90,000 or so and the cards were turned up:

Showdown
Klein: {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Field: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} turn and {10-Hearts} river gave Klein aces and tens with a king kicker, which was good enough to scoop the pot and eliminated Field in 27th place.

Duveyoung Bounced By Bowker

Chad Holloway

Kyle Bowker opened for 12,000 from early position and was called by Lyric Duveyoung and Scotty Nguyen in the small and big blinds respectively. When the flop fell {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Spades} , Duveyoung bet pot, Nguyen folded, Bowker raised, and Duveyoung called off his last 14,000.

Showdown
Duveyoung: {2-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Bowker: {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {6-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river were disaster for Duveyoung as it failed to make a low and allowed Bowker's two pair to take down the pot. With that, Duveyoung became out 26th-place finisher.

"How Do You Have One of Those?"

Chad Holloway

Just before the level up, Loren Klein opened for 14,000 and cleared the field all the way around to Antony Lellouche in the big blind. He chose to three-bet to 45,000, Klein called, and it was heads-up action to the {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop. Lellouche was first and fired his last 20,000, which Klein quickly called.

Showdown

Lellouche
Klein

"Oh, how do you have one of those?" Klein asked in regards to Lellouche's four. The {A-Hearts} turn and {A-Diamonds} river actually improved Lellouche to aces full, though he didn't need it, and he doubled on the hand.

Runner-Runner Spades Send Oliveira to the Rail

Chad Holloway

TJ Scarber opened for 20,000 from middle position only to have Marco Oliveira move all in for 33,000 from the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way and Scarber made the call.

Showdown
Scarber: {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Oliveira: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

The {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop gave Oliveira a pair of sevens and the leads, but the running {K-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river would give Scarber an ace-high flush and a low to scoop the pot. Just like that, Oliveira hit the rail in 25th place.

"You Have to Gamble to Win This Tournament"

Chad Holloway

Viacheslav Zhukov opened for 17,000 and was met with a three-bet to 63,000 from Loren Klein on the button. Zhukov responded by moving all in for 179,000 total, and Klein said, "You have to gamble to win this tournament," before making the call.

Showdown

Zhukov
Klein

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and Klein no doubt wished he had waited to gamble in a different spot as Zhukov doubled on the hand.

Big Pot for ODB

Chad Holloway

Antonie Saout raised to 21,000 from middle position and was called by Roch Cousineau in the hijack, and David "ODB" Baker and Chris Bell in the small and big blinds respectively. When the flop fell {3-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} , three checks put action on Cousineau and he bet 68,000.

Only Baker made the call and it was heads-up action to the {Q-Spades} turn. Baker thought for a few moments and bet pot, which was 220,000, and Cousineau hit the tank. He only had about 15,000 more than that, so a call essentially meant he would be putting his tournament life on the line. After about a minute, Cousineau slide his cards to the muck and conceded the hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
David ODB Baker	475,000 110,000	110,000
Roch Cousineau	235,000 -43,000	-43,000
