Some Eliminated Players

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Baldwin Eliminates Sammartino

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Eric Baldwin opened to 2,400 from under the gun plus one, and was called by Jason Wheeler in the hijack. The action was then on Dario Sammartino on the button, who moved all in for his last 25,000 in chips. The decision was then back on Baldwin, who thought about his decision for a moment, before making the call, as Wheeler got out of the way.

Sammartino: {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Baldwin: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} to see Sammartino exit, after Baldwin made a full house on the river.

Queens for Francis

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With the board reading {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and the pot swelling over the 45,000-chip mark, we found Philipp Gruissem pushing out a stack of yellow 1,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of 23,000.

His lone opponent in the hand - Patrick Francis - went deep into the tank before making the call.

The river landed the {3-Diamonds} and both players quickly checked as Francis tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} to win the pot and move to 165,000 while Guissem slipped to 90,000 in chips.

Calvin Clipped

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Calvin Anderson opened with a button raise only to have the small blind three-bet. Anderson responded with a small four-bet and the small blind shoved with Anderson instantly calling.

Anderson: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The board rolled out {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to see Anderson's opponent river a flush to put him down to just 8,100 in chips.

Ktorza Fighting Back

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We walked just passed the table and were almost knocked over by an ecstatic Phillippe Ktorza. We looked over at the table, to see him double up once more, after his {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} bested Mikhail Korotkikh’s {A-Hearts}{k-Spades} on a {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board.

Levy Climbing

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Following a raise to 2,600, Grant Levy three-bet the cutoff to 6,400. His opponent paused for a few moments before making the call as the dealer dropped a {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked and when the {J-Spades} landed on the turn, Levy's bet of 4,200 was enough to see him pushed the pot to move over the 60,000-chip mark.

More Exits

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ho Eliminated

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We arrived at the table, with Maria Ho all in for 32,500, and getting called by Kent Roed.

Ho: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Roed: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Unfortunately for Ho, the flop of {j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} gave Roed the lead, and she was unable to improve, as the board ran out the {k-Diamonds} and {6-Hearts} to see her eliminated from the tournament.
