Turner Getting Shorter

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jon Turner
Jon Turner

After a raise of 13,000 from Adam Kende, and a call from Dan Owen, Jon Turner reraised to 43,000 from the button. Next to act, Javier Montano moved all in for 109,000 more. Both Kende and Owen folded putting Turner to a decision for about half of his remaining stack. He was in the tank for about two minutes before finally releasing his hand and allowing Montano to take down the pot.

Chris Johnson vs. Rob Salaburu

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Johnson opened to 13,000 in early position and 2012 Octoniner Rob Salaburu three-bet to 24,000 from middle position. Action folded back to Johnson who called to see a {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. A check from Johnson led to a bet of 27,000 from Salaburu. Johnson called, then led for 55,000 when the {K-Spades} landed on the turn. Salaburu gave it some thought before folding.

Spets Talks Himself to a Fold

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Age Spets
Age Spets

Dick van Luijk raised to 22,000 preflop, and he got two callers, Age Spets and Scott Richey. The flop came {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and Van Luijk continued for 30,000. Spets took a minute to count out a raise, and he made it 80,000. Richey then immediately three-bet to 200,000, leaving himself only 79,000 behind.

Van Luijk quickly folded, but Spets took some time to think. Spets has gained a reputation for talking through his decisions at this table, and that's just what he did here. He obviously wasn't happy about Richey's re-raise, and apparently wasn't expecting it. After Van Luijk folded, Spets took off his hat and glasses, ran his hand through his hair, and told Richey, "I wasn't playing you." After thinking for a bit more, he explained, "The only reason I'm taking so long is you've been very tight, so I know you have a very good hand." He then asked the dealer to pull in the 80,000 from his bet so he could see Richey's raise more clearly, and also asked the dealer how much Richey had left. The dealer explained that she's not permitted to inform him as long as the player's chips are neatly stacked. Spets then asked Richey himself how much he had left, and Richey simply pushed his stack forward so Spets could see it clearly. Richey hadn't spoken at all during Spets's performance.

Spets himself had about 285,000 after his 80,000 raise, so if Richey went all in on the turn, and if Spets called and lost, he'd be left with only 85,000. He thought and talked for over four minutes, then tossed his cards to the dealer, yielding the pot to Richey.

Kenney KO'd by Williams

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Kevin Williams opened to 15,000 and Bryn Kenney three-bet shoved the button for his last 129,000. Williams called, the ESPN cameras rushed over and the cards were tabled.

Williams: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Kenney: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

A classic flip was to be had, and when the dealer dropped a {4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop, Williams took the lead.

With Kenney needing to hit a two-outer to stay alive, the {10-Hearts} on the turn and {J-Clubs} on the river would ensure he hit the rail as Williams moved to roughly 1,215,000 in chips.

Robinson Busts Dandrea

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table with the flop showing {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Charles Nelson Robinson had his {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} tabled, and Raymond Dandrea was showing his {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

Robinson was in front with his set, and had Dandrea covered. The {q-Spades} and {q-Hearts} completed the board, moving Robinson up to 650,000, and sending Dandrea to the rail.

Michael Mizrachi won't be making another November Nine this year. According to former tablemate Brandon Meyers, Mizrachi committed his last 40,000 preflop with {K-}{J-} and couldn't improve against Paul Taylor's {A-}{K-}.

Mizrachi's empty seat has been filled by two-time bracelet winner Dutch Boyd.

Curtis and Grospellier Double Through Each Other

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Joshua Curtis and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier just doubled through one another in a rapid succession of hands.

The first saw Grospellier open for a raise to 13,000 from middle position, then it folded around to a short-stacked Curtis in the big blind. Curtis has some supporters on the rail, and when he announced he was reraising all in with his stack of 74,000 total, they began to shout for his cause.

Grospellier thought for just a few moments, then shruggingly called the reraise, thereby committing a little over half of his stack.

Grospellier had {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} and needed help versus Curtis's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to provide a sweat, but the turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {K-Spades}, and Curtis's supporters had new reason to cheer.

Soon, though, it was Grospellier all in before the flop for his last 60,000 or so with {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} versus Curtis's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The board came {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and ElkY survived. Both, however, continue to sit with short stacks.
