Tieman On A Tear, Eliminates Ahmed

Josh Tieman has just won back-to-back big pots to boost his stack up to over 151,000. On the first hand, Matt Weber started the action by raising to 2,800 on the button. The small blind made the call, and Tieman was in the big blind. He elected to raise to 9,200, and it was back to Weber. He clicked it back to 19,300, and the small blind folded.

It was back to Tieman, and after a few moments of thought, he shipped all in for 52,200. That was too much for Weber, as he released his hand, giving the pot to Tieman.

On the next hand, Owais Ahmed and Tieman saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Spades}. Tieman checked to Ahmed, who fired out 4,200. Tieman check raised to 10,800, and it was back to Ahmed. He put in a reraise to 18,000, and Tieman responded by moving all in again, having Ahmed covered. Ahmed called, but he was in for bad news when the cards were tabled.

Tieman: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Ahmed: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Tieman's flopped set was miles ahead of Ahmed's overpair, and he would need to catch a miracle to win the hand. The turn came the {8-Clubs}, and the river brought the {4-Diamonds}. Ahmed headed to the rail, while Tieman shot up to 151,000 after the hand.

Break It Up

Level 12 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

The players are on their last 15 minute break of the night. Three more levels, and we are done for the night.

Just Before the Break

Rodawig On The Rail

Eric Rodawig raised all in under the gun to 8,900, and the player in the cutoff made the call. Michael Schneider was on the button, and he reraised all in over the top. The cutoff folded, the cards were tabled, and Rodawig was in a world of hurt.

Schneider: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Rodawig: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Rodawig would need a miracle to survive, and the flop was about as dry as it could have been for him, coming {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Rodawig could only catch running nines to win the pot, or running kings to chop it, but the board completed {10-Hearts} and {4-Clubs}. Rodawig was sent packing, while Schneider jumps up to 47,000.

Hellmuth May Have Needed a Longer Nap

Phil Hellmuth and Scott Stanko went to a flop of {3-Spades} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the turn came {7-Hearts}. They checked again and the river came {5-Hearts}. Hellmuth bet 4,800 and Stanko folded.

Getzwiller Gone

We didn't catch the hand that did him in, but we just saw Sean Getzwiller get up from his table, and head to the exits.
