Mann Cracks a Million

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We walked over to the blue featured tables because we saw some cameras rushing over there. When we arrived, we saw that David Harvey had put his tournament life on the line preflop holding {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. He was in rough shape though, as Jason Mann was the player who he was up against, and Mann had woken up with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Mann never had to sweat the board, as it came down {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, giving Mann the pot, and upping his stack to 1.1 million in the process.

River Ace Saves Kimura

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kima Kimura opened with a raise to 16,000 from middle position, then Glen Rose reraised to 30,000 from a seat over in the hijack. It folded back around to Kimura who sat for a short while, then pushed all in for the rest of her chips.

The reraise-shove added up to 172,000 total, and Rose considered for over two minutes before finally making the call.

Rose turned over {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Kimura {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, and just as Rose wished Kimura good luck, the dealer burned a card and slid the three flop cards out with the {J-Diamonds} appearing right on top and the {Q-Clubs} and {5-Clubs} underneath.

At that Kimura stood from her chair as the {4-Clubs} came out on the turn. The dealer then delivered the river… the {A-Clubs}! Kimura quickly sat back down as the table reacted to the ace from space to save Kimura, and the pot was pushed her way.

Demidov Doubles

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We didn't catch the preflop action, but former November Niner Ivan Demidov was all in with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Grayson Ramage's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Demidov had around 270,000 at risk, and he more than doubled that after the dealer rolled out the {8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} board.

Yen Does it Again

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Tzu Yen
Tzu Yen

Simon Lam opened to 17,000 in late position, Tzu Yen, who barely survived the bubble, three-bet all in for 190,000 on the button, and Mauro Villegas tanked for a considerable amount of time before cold-calling in the small blind. The big blind and Lam quickly folded.

Yen: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Villegas: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Yen was dominated, but the flop fell {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, giving Yen an ace-high flush draw. Villegas held one of Yen's outs, but it didn't matter as the {7-Hearts} turned. A meaningless {5-Diamonds} completed the board, and Yen doubled to 400,000 chips. Villegas slipped to 105,000.

Ponakovs Pressuring Sees Him Eyeing Top Spot

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Olson opened to 18,000 from the hi-jack only to have Paul Taylor three-bet the cutoff to 40,000. With the action on Aleksejs Ponakovs on the button, he cold four-bet to 80,000 to force Olson's cards into the muck fairly swiftly.

With the action back on Taylor, he deliberated for close to 90 seconds before eventually releasing his hand to see Ponakovs pushed the pot to put him up to 1,560,000 in chips.

Bardah Shoved On; Let's the World Know Koss Fathers Him

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Ronnie Bardah raised to 17,000. Action folded all the way around to the player in the big blind, and he moved all in for 145,000. After tanking for a bit, Bardah folded and flashed just the {A-Spades}. His opponent didn't show.

The ESPN cameras were filming as Bardah tanked. After the hand, Bardah began talking about how he had lost two pots since David Stefanski showed up on the rail to sweat him a little bit.

"I've lost the last two pots since you showed up!" Bardah yelled over to Stefanski. "But I'm not blaming you!"

Bardah want on to put on a bit of a show for the cameras, pointing out how he doesn't win all the pots, but Robert Koss, his tablemate, does. "This guy right here, he wins all the pots!" Bardah said, pointing to the Koss and looking at the cameras. Bardah then mimicked Norman Chad saying that if Koss goes deep, they will show this on ESPN and talk about how he wins all the pots.

"Every pot I play against him, he fathers me! Puts me in my crib!" Bardah finished with.

Turner Doubles, Then Takes One from Raptor

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After doubling on the previous hand through Aleksejs Ponakovs, Jon Turner opened with a raise from the small blind to 21,000. David Benefield made the call from the big to see a {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop fall.

Turner bet and Benefield called as the {4-Clubs} landed on the turn and Turner led again; this time for 37,000. Benefield folded and slipped to 235,000 as Turner climbed to roughly 465,000 in chips.
