Elias Spikes River to Stay Alive

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The hand started with the player under the gun plus one opening to 4,800. He was called by the player in the cutoff, before Darren Elias moved all in for his last 29,500 in chips. The original better then moved all in, forcing the cutoff out of the hand.

Elias: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to see Elias river a ten, doubling up in the process.

Tyler Denson bet 26,000 on the river after his opponent checked to him on a board of {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The player waffled for a bit before calling, and Denson showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for top pair. His opponent couldn't beat it, and Denson took the pot.

Ivey Climbing

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Bill Phillips opened to 7,000 in the cutoff and Phil Ivey called on the button.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Phillips bet 16,000. Ivey raised all in and after a few moments, Phillips called all in for about 67,000 with {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, trailing Ivey's {K-}{J-}. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river were safe for Ivey to score the elimination.

Huey and Crane Chop

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Russell Crane opened to 5,200 from under the gun only to have Mathew Huey three-bet to 14,000 from the hi-jack. With the action on the player in the cutoff, he moved all in for 52,100 and Crane followed suit as he pushed for roughly 210,000. After a few moments of deliberation, Huey made the call to put both players at risk.

Huey: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Crane: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board rolled out {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts} to see Crane and Huey chop up the cutoff's stack.

Weisner Hits 500K

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

Brian Applebaum raised from under the gun, a player called in middle position, Melanie Weisner called in the small blind, and Ronnie Bardah called from the big blind. From there, all four players took a flop of {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and action checked to the player in middle position. He bet 11,000, then Weisner and Bardah called. Applebaum folded.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}, and Weisner checked. Bardah also checked, then the third player fired 16,000. Weisner check-raised to 38,000, and Bardah tanked long and hard before folded. The other player also folded after some thought, and Weisner scooped the pot. She now has nearly 500,000 in chips.

Gregg Gets His Double

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Tony Gregg
Tony Gregg

Tony Gregg came into the day with 254,000, but he was below that marker the entire day. He came back from break with around 120,000, and he had less then that when we saw him get a crucial double up just moments ago.

We walked up to the table as the cards were being revealed in an all-in preflop situation. Gregg's {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} was in great shape against the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Gregg had a small sweat on the flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, but that kept him out in front. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn meant that a queen and a queen only would bust Gregg. The river did bring paint, but it was the {k-Spades}, giving Gregg the full double up to 215,000.

Van Luijk Wins Massive Pot to Launch into the Chip Lead

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Dick Van Luijk
Dick Van Luijk

We just witnessed one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far, and it has left us with a new chip leader. Dick van Luijk is his name.

Action folded to van Luijk who was in middle position. He raised to 7,000. In the next seat over, Dan Murariu reraised to a total of 16,000. Action folded around to an unknown player in the big blind and he four-bet to 39,000. Van Luijk called. Next to act Murariu put in a fifth bet to 96,000. Then the big blind player six-bet jammed all in for a total of 140,300. Both van Luijk and Murariu just called creating a massive pot of just about 450,000.

The flop came down {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and with action still between van Luijk and Murariu for a side pot, both players checked.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and van Luijk coughed to clear his throat before announcing he was all in. Murariu flashed a hand which we could not see and van Luijk and the big blind player turned up their hands.

Van Luijk: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Big Blind: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Van Luijk had made a flush on the turn and that left the player in the big blind drawing dead to the massive pot. The turn was the {2-Clubs} but it didn't matter as the big blind had already left his seat. Van Luijk scooped the huge pot and moved above 800,000 chips, making him the clear chip leader of the tournament.

It looks like van Luijk has gathered even more chips in the process of writing this post. He is now north of the 900,000 chip mark.
