Hastoo Bubbles Event #23

Level 14 : 500/2,000, 500 ante

Terrence Hastoo was down to a few thousand chips, and on the first hand of hand-for-hand play, he was dealt the worst up-card in stud, the {2-Clubs}. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of it, tossed out the bring in, and folded when the action was back on him.

With just 1,000 remaining, he tossed in the ante of 500 on the second hand, the folded the {9-Diamonds}.

On the third hand, he was automatically all in with the {6-Hearts}, and David Moskowitz brought it in with the {4-Hearts}. Andre Akkari called with the {5-Hearts}, Helmut Koch called with the {5-Diamonds}, and Kenn Wittock completed with the {k-Diamonds}. Everyone folded, the hands were opened, and the boards ran out like this:

Hastoo: ({7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}) / {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} / ({k-Clubs})
Wittock: ({k-Spades}{j-Hearts}) / {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / ({6-Spades})

Hastoo started with three to a flush, but proceeded to be dealt brick after brick, and was drawing dead on sixth street.

He hit the rail, while the remaining 32 players are all guaranteed a minimum of $3,889.

Tepen Toppled Two from Money

Level 14 : 500/2,000, 500 ante
Ryan Tepen
Ryan Tepen

After continuously folding, Ryan Tepen was all in for his final 500 as an ante. Adam Friedman completed and Gary Benson made the call before folding to a bet on fifth after both players checked fourth.

Tepen: {X-}{X-} / {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Friedman: {X-}{X-} / {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Benson: {X-}{X-} / {10-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} (folded on fifth)

Tepen tabled his {J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} in the hole to be trailing Friedman's {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a pair.

Friedman caught a {K-Diamonds} to Tepen's {K-Clubs} and going into seventh Friedman failed to improve as he found the {6-Spades}. Tepen began squeezing out his final card needing an ace, king or jack to stay alive, but unfortunately he could only find the {4-Spades} to end his tournament in 34th place; just two shy from the money.

Joyce Wins a Big One Without a Showdown

Level 14 : 500/2,000, 500 ante

Lavonne Joyce: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} / {x-}
Michael Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {x-}
David Chiu: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{q-Spades} (FOLD)
Konstantin Puchkov: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} / {x-}

Mizrachi brought it in, Chiu completed, Puchkov raised, and Joyce cold-called. Mizrachi and Chiu called the raise as well. The action checked to Joyce on fourth street, and she bet. Mizrachi raised, Chiu folded, and both Puchkov and Joyce called.

Mizrachi checked on fifth, Puchkov bet, and both Joyce and Mizrachi called.

All three players knuckled on sixth, and Joyce fired on seventh. Mizrachi quickly folded, and Puchkov tanked for well over a minute before folding as well.

The players started guessing the contents of Joyce's hand, and she offered to show it for $20. Nobody bit, and she mucked the winner facedown.

Akkari Sends One to the Rail

Level 13 : 500/1,500, 300 ante

Andre Akkari had the bring in before a player moved all in for 1,400. Ben Cohen made the call before Akkari fired out for a double-bet on fourth. Cohen called, and then called a bet on fifth before leading on sixth before both players checked seventh.

Akkari: {X-}{X-} / {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} / {X-}
Cohen: {X-}{X-} / {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {X-}

Cohen tabled his {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} / {10-Hearts}, but it would be Akkari's {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} / {K-Hearts} that would trump both Cohen and the all-in's {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

With Cohen slipping to 40,000, Akkari climbs to 55,000 and leaves just 37 players remaining in the tournament.
