Turmezey Takes Huge Chip Lead

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Peter Turmezey took the chip lead just before dinner break, and he busted David Randall in a huge coin flip to lengthen his lead even more. We were following other action at the time, but according to Turmezey, Randall made it 9,000, and he three bet it to 24,000. Randall then moved all in for 175,000, and Turmezey made the call.

Turmezey: {a-}{k-}
Randall: {7-}{7-}

Turmezey said he hit his card on the flop, and that was all he would need as he collected the bounty, upping his stack to a huge 800,000 in the process.

Berger Hits Quads to Double

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Steven Kelly started the action with a raise to 8,000 from the cutoff. Peter Turmezey folded his button, and as soon as he released his cards, Levi Berger moved all in from the small blind. It got back around to Kelly, and he tanked for about two minutes before calling.

Kelly: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Berger: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

It was the right call by Kelly, but it went all wrong when the dealer fanned out a {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop. Kelly would need runner runner, but that went out the door when the {9-Spades} hit the turn. The river paired Kelly, coming the {10-Diamonds}, but it was far too little too late for him, as he shipped the ships over to Berger, dropping to 80,000 in the process. Meanwhile, Berger is now up to 260,000.

Chino Rheem Crippled, then Doubled, then Eiminated

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Thom Werthmann made it 8,500 from under the gun, and Chino Rheem three bet it to 22,000. It folded back around to Werthmann, and he thought for about 30 seconds before cutting out a four bet of 48,000, and sticking it into the middle. It didn't take Rheem to announce all in, nor did it take long for Werthmann to call to crate a giant pot worth almost 400,000.

Rheem: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Werthmann: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a classic 50-50 coin flip, but it didn't last that way for long, as the flop came {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Rheem was looking for one of the two queens left in the deck, but the ladies never came, as the board completed {2-Diamonds} and {3-Hearts}.

Werthmann doubled up to 375,000 on that hand, while Rheem was knocked down to just 48,000. He did double it up though on the next hand, when his {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} held against the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} of James Anderson. On the very next hand, Rheem raised in the small blind, Amir Lehavot moved all in from the big blind, and Rheem called. Lehavot's {a-Spades}{j-Spades} was dominating the {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Rheem, and the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} to bust the newly crowned WPT Champion.

Fox Busts Bosen

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Dave Fox opened the action to 12,000, and Peter Bosen shoved all in right behind him for 86,000. It got back around to Fox, and he quickly called.

Fox: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Bosen: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Fox was in great shape and it only got better when the flop came {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Bosen would now need runner runner to survive, but the {9-Hearts} on the turn ended it. The meaningless river was the {4-Hearts}, and Fox collected the near double up to get to 190,000.

Moorman Taken Out

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Chris Moorman
Chris Moorman

We caught the action on the flop, which had come down {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Chris Moorman started the action with a bet of 21,500, and David Gonia made it 51,000 to go. Moorman thought over his options for a while before moving all in for 175,000 total, and Gonia beat him into the pot.

Moorman:{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Gonia: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Moorman was in a world of hurt, and any hopes of a miracle comeback were doused when the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. The meaningless river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Gonia scored the huge pot, while also knocking out one of the toughest players left in the field.

Cid Doubles Through Clements

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Marcio Cid had been moving his small stack into the middle quite frequently this level, and he finally got called down by Scott Clements just a few minutes ago. Cid held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and he was in great shape against the {7-}{7-} of Clements. All the tension went away when the dealer fanned out a {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop to give Cid a full house. Clements could only hit running sevens, but the board completed {2-Spades} and {q-Diamonds}.

Cid gets his double to 185,000, while Clements is still just fine with 330,000.
