Le Triples Again

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Nam Le was down to 3 big blinds no more than 20 minutes ago, but now he's back in the thick of it after another triple up.

Preflop, Ryan Olisar raised to 20,000 under the gun. He was called by Dmitrii Valouev in middle position as well as Gregory Schaefer. Action folded to Le on the button who tanked for some time before moving all in for 137,000 chips.

Olisar folded but when action was back on Valouev, he moved all in, only to find Schaefer move all in behind him, creating a monster pot.

Le: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Valouev: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Schaefer: {A-}{K-}

Le found himself dominating both players and that didn't change on the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. Le held through the {9-Clubs} turn and he faded the river with the {5-Hearts} as well.

Schaefer was eliminated by Valouev while Le tripled to just under 400,000 chips.

Jonathan [Removed:250] opened for 20,000 under the gun, and Jia Liu jammed it all in from his immediate left. Everyone else folded, and [Removed:250] made the call.

[Removed:250]: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Liu: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}, and Liu pumped his fist as he doubled up.

Blain Busto

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Dermot Blain was just eliminated, we didn't catch the entire hand or who busted him, but we did see that his {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} didn't hold up against {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} on a {3-}{3-}{k-}{6-}{8-} board. For his 23rd place finish he will collect $14,067.

Yoshimichi Forces a Fold

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Charles Sylvestre raised from middle position, and Makoto Yoshimichi, on his immediate left, was the only caller.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and Sylvestre fired a continuation bet of 25,000. Yoshimichi made the call, and the two saw a turn of {a-Diamonds}. Yoshimichi again called Sylvestre's bet, this time for 60,000. Sylvestre finally checked after the {j-Hearts} hit the river, prompting Yoshimichi to fire 150,000. Sylvestre folded.

Berger on the Uptick, Back in the Chip Lead

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades} with more than 100,000 in the pot we saw both Charles Sylvestre and Seth Berger check. On the {J-Hearts} turn, Sylvestre checked again. This time, Berger bet 75,000. Sylvestre made the call.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Sylvestre checked for a third time. Berger grabbed two mounds of orange T5,000 chips and made a big bet of 250,000. After thinking about it for nearly a minute, Sylvestre made the call. Berger showed {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a turned full house.

Sylvestre made a disgusted face and turned up his {K-Hearts} but didn't show his other card. With that pot, Berger has retaken the chip lead.
