Lunkin Takes One From Obrestad

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Vitaly Lunkin
Vitaly Lunkin

We didn't catch all the action but we know that on a board of {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} Vitaly Lunkin checked to Annette Obrestad and she put out a bet. Lunkin called the bet and the two headed to the {6-Spades} on the river.

On the river, Lunkin thought for a few seconds before checking. Obrestad also thought for a few seconds, then she checked behind.

"I have a four," Obrestad said.

Lunkin turned up his {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for top pair and that was good enough to take down the pot.

"The only way I can get him to fold there is if I shove," Obrestad said. Lunkin shook his head though, implying that there was no way he was folding.

Stein Survives

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Sam Stein has been on the short side chip-wise for much of the day and just now found it needful to open-push all in for 41,000 from the hijack seat. He got a quick call from his neighbor to the left, and when it folded back around Stein showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and was hoping the small pair would hold up versus his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, then {Q-Spades}, the {4-Clubs}, and Stein survived albeit still with below average chips.

Another Double for Galfond

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

As hard as they try, the players at Table 421 can't get rid of the great Phil Galfond. Tommy Hang just took a whack at Galfond here in Level 14, but once again the online cash legend prevailed.

Hang opened with a raise to 8,000 from the small blind and Galfond moved all in for 78,500 from the big blind. Hang went into the tank as the ESPN crew made its way over to the table, and he eventually decided to call with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Galfond tabled the {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and the {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Spades} board shipped another double up to Galfond.

Mortensen Loses Four-Bet Pot

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Carlos Mortensen saw a turn that cost him some chips.
Carlos Mortensen saw a turn that cost him some chips.

Dan Owen raised to 6,000 from early position, and Carlos Mortensen reraised to 16,000 from the cutoff. The button came over the top with a cold four-bet to 36,000, and Owen got out of the way. Mortensen made the call, and the players watched the {4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop. Both players checked, and a {k-Spades} fell on the turn. Mortensen checked once more, but this time his opponent bet 29,000. Mortensen called, and the dealer placed a {2-Hearts} as the river card. Mortensen checked again, staring at his opponent, who bet 62,000 on the end.

Mortensen called, and his opponent quickly tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the nut straight. Mortensen tossed his cards into the air towards the muck, and the {k-Diamonds} came down face-up.

Ramage Rising

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Grayson Ramage has improved his status considerably during Level 14, especially after just doubling up against an opponent after getting his stack in following a {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop.

"Two pair?" asked Ramage somewhat worriedly after his opponent had decided to call his flop shove. "Nah, just a pair and a flush draw," said his opponent, turning over {4-Spades}{3-Spades}. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and river the {7-Hearts}, and Ramage's upswing continues.

Game Over For The End Boss

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Tony Gregg - Eliminated
Tony Gregg - Eliminated

Olaoluwa Okelola opened to 8,000 under the gun and One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em champion Tony Gregg three-bet all in for 92,000 from the hijack. After about 60 seconds, Yuri Dzivielevski called from the cutoff. Action folded back to Okelola who folded.

Gregg: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Dzivielevski: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board came down {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, bringing no help to Gregg, ending his Main Event.

Kroon Fills Up on Haxton

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop we found Mark Kroon betting out 11,000 with two players calling; one of which was Isaac Haxton on the button.

The turn landed the {4-Diamonds} and Kroon continued for 26,000 with only Haxton making the call as the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river with Kroon firing once again; this time for 22,000.

As Haxton went into the tank to deliberate, Kroon would eventually call the clock which would slightly anger Haxton.

With the clock counting down to around 30 seconds, Haxton would push out a raise to 57,000 and Kroon would insta-call.

Haxton tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, but it would be Kroon's {9-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a rivered full house that would see him collect the pot and move his stack back over the 300,000-chip mark.

Gill Gets a Few

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Carter Gill opened with a raise from middle position and got two callers from the cutoff seat and the button, the latter being Walter Treccarichi who has been steadily building a big stack throughout Day 3.

The flop came {5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Gill led with a bet of 7,500, called by both opponents. The turn then brought the {K-Clubs}, and this time Gill fired 15,000. The cutoff folded quickly, and after thinking an extra couple of beats, Treccarichi folded as well.

Gill has improved his stack over Level 14, while Treccarichi continues to enjoy a stack of more than 600,000.

Aces Serve Armstrong

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We just witnessed yet another big three-way preflop all-in situation, this one involving a short stack taking his chances with {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Mike Watson tabling {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, and Jamie Armstrong having {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

The flop came {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades} to give the short stack some hope, but the turn was the {10-Clubs} and river the {8-Hearts}, and one more player was eliminated while Armstrong survived after claiming a big chunk of Watson's stack.
