Phan Triples His Money

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Raul Paez brought it in with a full bet showing the {2-Spades}, and Mike Leah called with {a-Clubs}. Young Phan raised with {7-Diamonds}, leaving himself less than a bet behind. Both players called. Phan got the rest in on fourth, both of his opponents called, and the dealer ran out the hand as Leah and Paez played a small side pot.

Leah: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Paez: {10-}{5-}{3-}/{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Phan: {8-}{8-}{10-}/{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Phan's eights had amazingly stood up unimproved for the main pot, while Leah took the side pot with his exposed sixes.

Daniel Idema: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Mike Leah: {x-}{x-} / {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / {x-}

Leah check-called a bet on fourth, then led out on fifth and sixth street. Idema called on fifth, then raised on sixth. Leah called, then checked on seventh. Idema checked behind on seventh, citing that he was afraid of a check-raise.

He showed {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for trip sevens, scooping the pot.

Chu Chips Up

Chu showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a low and a pair of aces, and Sperling mucked, showing only the {a-Spades}.

Jose Paz-Gutierrez Eliminated in 14th Place ($7,871)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Jose Paz-Gutierrez - 14th Place
Jose Paz-Gutierrez - 14th Place

Jose Paz-Gutierrez: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} / {x-}
Matt Vengrin: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{3-Hearts} (FOLD)
Linda Johnson: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} / {9-Clubs}

The action checked to Vengrin on fourth street, and he bet. Johnson raised, Paz-Gutierrez re-raised, Vengrin folded, and Johnson made it four bets. Paz-Gutierrez capped it, moving all in, and Johnson called.

Paz-Gutierrez: {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Johnson: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Johnson improved to tens and sevens by sixth street, turning over the {9-Clubs} on seventh, and Paz-Gutierrez needed to flip over a five, jack, or queen on seventh to survive. The {9-Spades} was not one of those cards though, and he was eliminated in 14th place.

Layne Flack Eliminated in 15th Place ($6,395)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Layne Flack - 15th Place
Layne Flack - 15th Place

Action folded to Layne Flack, and he completed with the {a-Diamonds}.

"Let's dance," he said.

Daniel Idema got his two-step on and hopped in the pot, and everyone else folded. Flack tossed the rest of his chips in on fourth, and Idema made the call.

Idema: {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}/{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Flack: {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}/{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Idema picked up an ideal fifth street: {6-Clubs}, giving him four to a straight and a low. Flack got basically a brick with the {k-Hearts}. Flack's prospects picked up on sixth when the {a-Clubs} gave him a pair of aces, while Idema also improved with {7-Diamonds}. Idema's final card was the {5-Clubs}, however, and his straight and low combo left Flack drawing dead in 15th place.

Richard Tatalovich Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,395)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Richard Tatalovich - 16th Place.
Richard Tatalovich - 16th Place.

Young Phan got Richard Tatalovich all in on fourth street after betting another player out of the pot.

"Alright, protection," Tatalovich said.

Phan: {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}/{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Tatalovich: {2-Spades}{q-Spades}/{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Phan was well ahead of his hand though, with four to a straight and a low, as well as the potential for higher pairs. Phan received not one, but two sevens from the dealer on his next two cards, and he made a club flush on the end for good measure. Tatalovich was done in 16th.
