The Last Arrivals

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A slew of players chose to sign up for this event at the last minute. Here are a few of the guys that will be competing today, starting with level 5.

"Jaka Jaka" Doubles

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Faraz Jaka had 8,475 in front of him and was about to get that back, plus another 8,475. We're not sure what happened but we saw {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} laying before his stack and {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} | {3-Spades} | {8-Hearts} on the table. Another player was busy stacking of chips and putting them together to give to Jaka.

Struckman Hits Quads to Stay Alive

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Eddie Struckman was behind preflop when he went all-in with his last 1600. His opponent called and turned over {7-}{7-}. To his disappointment, Struckman turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Luckily, the flop came {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}, not only hitting Struckman's set, but also giving him fives full of jacks. The turn was the inconsequential {6-Spades}.

The river really rubbed it in when the dealer laid down the {5-Clubs}, making quads for Struckman and doubling him up to 3500 to stay alive in today's tournament.

Shorr In Shorr Out

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We spotted Shannon Shorr as he must have late registered. As soon as we saw him he was all in against an opponent. His {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} was racing against his opponents {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The flop brought no help with the {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} but the turn changed things a bit with the {a-Hearts}. Now Shorr just needed to dodge a ten and he would be safe.

The river... {10-Spades} and just like that Shorr was out faster then he came.

Welcome to Brasilia

The Pavilion Room is almost empty, but Brasilia is still full of players. Let's take a look at some chip stacks:

Katz Hits his Flush

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a {K-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop Cary Katz got his last chips in with {3-Spades}{6-Spades}. Unfortunately for him his opponent had {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the higher flush draw. Both hit their draws on the turn ({9-Spades}) which left Katz drawing dead. "Yeah, I hit my flush!" he laughed while he already excited the tournament. We're not sure if he ever saw the {J-Clubs} on the river, but it couldn't save him anyway.
