Johnson Takes Another

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Danny Warchol raised from the small blind, and Marco Johnson called from the big blind. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Warchol bet. Johnson raised it up, and Warchol quickly put out a third bet. Johnson called, and the {q-Spades} hit the turn. Warchol fired out, and again, Johnson raised it up. This time, Warchol tanked for about 30 seconds before folding, and Johnson took down another pot, to up his stack to 780,000.

Marco Johnson Making Moves

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Danny Warchol opened for a raise, and he called when Marco Johnson reraised, bringing on a flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Warchol check-called a bet from Johnson, and both players tapped the table on the {5-Diamonds} turn. When the {8-Clubs} arrived on the river, Wachol bet it, and Johnson quickly called with {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for a rivered pair. It was good, and the pot was pushed his way.

A few hands later, Warchol and Johnson tangled again, after Warchol raised to open the betting. Johnson made it three bets to play, and Warchol flatted to see the {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop.

Both players put three bets in on the flop, and Warchol led out on the {k-Hearts} turn. Johnson flatted, and the river came {a-Clubs}. Both players checked down, and Johnson's {J-Clubs}{j-Spades} was good enough for the win.

Maria Ho Eliminated in 6th Place ($26,858)

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Maria Ho came into the final table as our chip leader, but nothing went her way when she came to the secondary feature table, as she lost every pot that she entered. In the final hand, Ho tried to commit all her chips preflop, but she had to leave 4,000 behind because of the betting limits. Marco Johnson and Juha Helppi called from the blind, and the flop came {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}. It was checked to Ho, who bet her final 4,000, and the two players called. They then checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn, and the {6-Spades} on the river.

Johnson announced "queen high", and Helppi showed {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a pair. Ho let out a big sigh, and mucked her cards, though they had to be tabled: {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for king high. Ho exited the area in 6th place, while Helppi jumped up to 390,000.

Juha Helppi Wins Two

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Juha Helppi just won two pots in quick succession to pad his chip stack.

First, Helppi called Danny Warchol's preflop raise, and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Both players tapped the table to bring the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Helppi then led out for a bet, Warchol called, and the river fell {q-Hearts}.

Once again Warchol called Helppi's bet, but the Finnish pro's {K-Spades}{9-Hearts} was good for the win.

Shortly thereafter, Helppi forced Mike Schiffman to fold on the river, with the board reading {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Thompson Takes One Down

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Mike Schiffman called Jeff Thompson's preflop raise, and the dealer fanned the {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} across the felt.

Schiffman then check-called a bet on the turn ({6-Spades}) and river ({3-Hearts}). but mucked when he saw Thompson's {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for top pair/top kicker.

Danny Le Eliminated in 7th Place ($19,430)

Danny Le

Mike Schiffman raised it up, and Danny Le called out of the small blind. The flop came down {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Le fired out a bet. Schiffman called, and Le bet out again on the {7-Diamonds} turn. This time, Schiffman raised, which was enough to put Le all in. He thought for about 20 seconds before committing the rest of his stack.

Schiffman: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Le: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Le was looking for a four and a four only, but the river was the {10-Spades}. Le busted short of the official final table, while Schiffman is up to 440,000.

Danny Le Doubles Up

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

After Danny Warchol raised to open the action, Danny Le moved his last bets into the middle holding {A-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and he was in a good spot against Warchol's {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

The final board rolled out clean for Le, coming {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and he doubled his short stack to stave off elimination.

Thompson Takes Two Huge Hands

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Jeff Thompson raised it up, and Danny Warchol quickly three bet it. Thompson called, and the flop came {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Spades}. Thompson checked, and Warchol bet out. Thompson raised, and Warchol called to see the {j-Clubs} hit the turn. This time, Thompson bet, and Warchol raised it up. Thompson called, and the {2-Diamonds} hit the river. Thompson bet, and Warchol called, turning over {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for top pair. Thompson showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a better queen, and he took down the big pot.

On the next hand, Warchol raised it up, and Maria Ho made it three bets on the button. Thompson then made it four bets in the big blind, and both players called. The flop came {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and Thompson fired out. Both players called, and the {k-Hearts} hit the turn. Thompson bet out, and this time, Warchol was the only caller. The {q-Clubs} hit the river, and Thompson fired one more barrel. Warchol folded, and Thompson won the huge pot without a showdown.
