Ana Marquez Sent Out by Straight

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Ana Marquez Was Sent to the Rail Midway Through Day 2
Ana Marquez Was Sent to the Rail Midway Through Day 2

We missed the action firsthand, but a player at the table informed us that Ana Marquez moved the last of her chips into the middle holding {A-}{k-}{k-}{5-}. Her opponent's collection of small cards connected with the river to make a straight, and the fetching Marquez was sent to the payout desk, much to the chagrin of her adoring tablemates.

Schwartz vs. Brammer in Monster Pot

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

On a flop od {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Christopher Brammer bet 18,500, the amount of the pot, from early position and then called when Noah Schwartz raised to 48,000. Brammer proceeded to check the {7-Clubs} turn, Schwartz bet the pot and Brammer check-raised. Schwartz called off for 157,000 total and tabled the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the nut-flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. Brammer then revealed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for two pair and a straight draw of his own.

There were a lot of cards that could come on the river and change things up, which is exactly what happened when the {2-Diamonds} peeled off to give Schwartz a flush. Brammer's stack was devastated while Schwartz quite literally became flushed with chips!

Meanwhile, Christopher Del Grande was eliminated in unknown action at a nearby table.

Young Jeezy Says Let's Get It

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Young Ji Has Been as Cool as a Snowman Here on Day 2
Young Ji Has Been as Cool as a Snowman Here on Day 2

Holding the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Young Ji called Jonas Mackoff's all-in raise before the flop, but found himself in bad shape against Mackoff's {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

Having run into a cooler of sorts, Ji would need help to arrive on board if he hoped to be the sole survivor of this confrontation.

Flop: {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Ji found the king he was looking for on the flop, coming from the bottom of the map to take the lead, and with top set he was in good shape against Mackoff's club-less hand. The turn ({3-Hearts}) and river ({8-Hearts}) brought no help to Mackoff, and he was eliminated from contention just short of the final four tables.

Having built his stack back to the average mark, Ji proved that in Pot-Limit Omaha, the only way to play the game is to trap or die.

Le Plucked by Pollock

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We missed the preflop betting action, but we do know Tommy Le, who had dwindled a bet, got his last 18,500 all in preflop and was in bad shape against Josh Pollock.

"You got kings?" Le asked. Sure enough, Pollock rolled over the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Le then showed the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and was in need of some help. The {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop didn't give him much other than a gutshot straight draw, and the {10-Diamonds} turn only have him another out to a straight. Unfortunately for Le, the {3-Diamonds} river did not complete it and he was sent to the rail while Pollock chipped up to 95,000.

KT Knocks Two Out of the Park

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Henri Korvisto on Day 1.
Henri Korvisto on Day 1.

We caught a major pot developing between three players, as KT Park, Tanya Kirk, and Henri Koivisto were engaged in a three-way contest on the {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} board.

Kirk led out for 33,000 on the turn, Park made the call, and Koivisto decided to pump it up to 57,500, putting the last of his stack at risk. The all-in bet was called by Kirk and Park, and the {A-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Kirk then checked to Park, who announced his intention to bet the pot. This put Kirk all-in if she wanted to continue, and she made the call with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a set of jacks on the turn.

Unfortunately for her, Park rolled over the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a rivered flush, which was best over Kirk's holding, as well as Koivisto's {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

With the double elimination, Park moved our field one step close to the next pay jump, while padding his stack to more than double the current average.

A Leak in Noah's Ark

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

With the flop reading {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, a player in the big blind led out for 12,000, and Noah Schwartz raised the pot. The big blind player liked his hand enough to make an all-in move, and Schwartz made the call with {6-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for multiple straight draws.

His opponent tabled the {k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top pair, and a plethora of straight draws as well.

When the turn came {A-Diamonds}, one of those draws was delivered, and Schwartz was left hoping for a diamond on the river to come from behind.

River: {2-Clubs}

The brick missed Schwartz completely, and with that, he was forced to ship a sizable portion of his stack across the table.

Park Doubles Just Before the Break

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

In a big hand just before the last break, a preflop raising war between Hoyt Corkins, who was on the button, and KT Park in the big blind resulted in the latter being all in and at risk for 57,100.

Corkins: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Park: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}

As is often the case, it was aces versus kings that inspired all the action. In this case those would be the hands that held as the board ran out an uneventful {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Ship the double to Park.
