Breda Doubles

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

The money went all in preflop between Jorge Breda and his opponent. Breda had {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and was up against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Breda's kings hold for the double.

Jeff Izes wanted to come along but ended up folding to the multiple all ins. He asked the dealer to not put a jack out there. Needless to say, he was not happy to see the jack: "I am unhappy that I made the right decision."

Kara Scott

David McMahon raised from middle position to 16,000 and Kara Scott reraised to 36,000 from the button. McMahon came along and he checked the {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop to Scott. Scott bet 40,000 and McMahon went all in. Scott called and tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} while McMahon showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a flush draw. Scott's aces held through the {j-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river to infuse her stack with some much welcomed chips.

Dorneles Neto Wins Wild Hand For Chip Lead

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Joao Dorneles Neto
Joao Dorneles Neto

We missed the preflop action, but we saw that Joao Dorneles Neto and Asher Conniff got into a huge all in confrontation preflop that saw a pot of about 350,000 build up before the flop. Conniff was all in with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and he was in rough shape, as Dorneles Neto held {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, giving Conniff top pair and the lead. Dorneles Neto led out a huge sigh, and couldn't help but hide his disappointment. However, that changed to jubilation when the {a-Hearts} hit the turn, causing Dorneles Neto to yell out "yes" and pump his arms in the air. The hand wasn't over, as Conniff could still catch a miracle two outer on the river, but he didn't do that, as the {2-Hearts} came.

After stacking up his new chips, we pegged Dorneles Neto's stack to be a chip leading 710,000.

Kerstetter's Roller Coaster

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jamie Kerstetter raised to 17,000 from under the gun and a player from middle position called. When action landed on Tam Truong, in the small blind, he opted to move in for his final 50,000.

Kerstetter moved all in for more and the middle position player asked for a count of Kerstetter's chips. He eventually decided to give it up and Kerstetter turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. She was not happy to see Truong's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Truong's aces held up for the double and Kerstetter lost a good chunk of her stack.

Cunningham Poised to Continue His Run

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Allen Cunningham
Allen Cunningham

With three cashes so far this summer, including his 2nd-place finish in Event #12, Allen Cunningham has continued to play well and catch cards which is always needed to run deep in these large-field events.

In a blind versus blind scenario, Cunningham raised from the small blind to 24,000 and was called by the big blind. Cunningham continued for 32,000 on the {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and the big blind called.

The {9-Spades} turn slowed Cunningham down and he checked to the big blind who bet 45,000. It took some thought on Cunningham's part but eventually called.

Both players checked the {j-Diamonds} river. When the hands were tabled, the big blind showed {a-}{k-Hearts} which was no match for Cunningham's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.
