Back in Action

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Players took a small extended break in order to fill out bio sheets, but cards are now back in the air.

Liu Fires Three Bullets

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We found Mark Wilds facing a bet from Ping Liu on a {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop. Wilds called, and the players saw a turn of {3-Hearts}. Wilds checked, and Liu bet 75,000 this time. Wilds called once again. A {4-Clubs} hit the river, and Wilds checked a final time, but Liu wasn't done.

"All in," he said softly to the dealer. Wilds tanked for about two minutes, shifting in his chair, before he finally folded.

Nam Le Eliminated in 17th Place ($17,598)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Nam Le
Nam Le

Nam Le was crippled in a previous pot against Makoto Yoshimichi where he lost more than half his stack by folding to a river reraise on a {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board.

On the very next hand, Nam moved his last 130,000 chips all in from the small blind only to be called by William Guerrero in the big blind.

Le: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Guerrero: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board rolled out {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and brought no help to Le. With that, the field has now been cut down to just 16 players.

Controversy in a Four-Bet Pot

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Olisar opened for 32,000 on the button, Mark Wilds called in the small blind, and Charles Sylvestre squeezed to 90,000 from the big blind. Some controversy arose as Olisar attempted to four-bet. After asking the dealer to count out the raise, he announced a reraise. The players engaged in a debate over the verbiage of the amount he'd announced, and the floor was called over. In the end, Olisar put in 157,000 total, and Sylvestre called after Wilds folded.

A coordinated {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop hit the board, and Sylvestre moved all in for about the size of the pot. Olisar thought for a minute, then folded.

Ryan Tepen Eliminated in 18th Place ($17,598)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Tepen
Ryan Tepen

Binh Ta raised to 35,000 from early position, and Ryan Tepen jammed his 150,000 stack in from the small blind. Ta made the call.

Ta: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Tepen: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Tepen held his lead when the flop came {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}. A {9-Hearts} on the turn, however, meant he needed a seven to survive. The river brought only another deuce, and Tepen's short-stack grinding finally ended.
