Pollak's Five-Bet Shove Gets Through

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Court Harrington raised to 28,000 from the cutoff, and Benjamin Pollak three-bet to 68,000 from the small blind. Harrington responded with a four-bet to 172,000, and after a minute Pollak came back over the top with a shove for around 740,000. Harrington went deep into the tank before letting his hand go, and Pollak began stacking his new chips.

Also at that table is Amir Lehavot, who has chipped up to 1,530,000.

Game, Set, Match for Nadal

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Santiago Nadal got the last of his short stack in preflop holding {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and he was dominated by the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} of Yann Dion. The flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} paired both players, but kept Dion out in front. Nadal picked up more outs when the {k-Hearts} came on the turn, as an eight or a heart would now do it for Nadal. However, the river was the {3-Diamonds}, and Dion collected the bounty to up his stack to 1.3 million.

Demidov Done

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ivan Demidov on his final hand
Ivan Demidov on his final hand

Ivan Demidov has been eliminated, his final hand coming against Christopher Kinane.

The hand began with a Demidov raise to 35,000, then a three-bet from Kinane to 85,000, followed by a Demidov shove for more than 700,000 and a quick call from Kinane.

It was a tough flop for Demidov, as he had {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Kinane {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, then {5-Diamonds}, then {2-Spades}, and the 2008 WSOP Main Event runner-up was eliminated.

Obrestad Wins Blind War Against Timoshenko

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to Yevgeniy Timoshenko who was in the small blind. He raised to 32,000 and found a call from Annette Obrestad in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Timoshenko led for 27,000. Obrestad called the bet and the two headed to the turn which was the {5-Hearts}. Both players checked to see the {7-Hearts} on the river where both players checked again. Obrestad showed a seven and that was good enough to take the pot down from Timoshenko who mucked his hand.

New Chip Leader Comes Speeding Down the Fast Lane

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jon Lane
Jon Lane

When we arrived at the table, Jon Lane had 80,000 in front of him from the cutoff seat and Nicholas Immekus had moved all in from the small blind for 551,000. Looking at the pot in the middle of the table, we can assume the action had been opened with a raise from another player and then Lane three-bet before Immekus four-bet shoved.

Action was now on Lane, and he tanked for a bit of time. Eventually, he made the call with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} to have Immekus' {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} dominated.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Immekus picked up a wheel draw. The turn was the {K-Clubs}, leaving Immekus with only a five as an out. The river was close, but the {6-Diamonds} wasn't what Immekus needed, and he was eliminated. Lane scooped the pot and moved to 2.7 million in chips. That's good enough for the current chip lead.

Lane hails from Oshkosh, Wisconsin and has nearly $600,000 in live tournament earnings. Add another $500,000-plus to that from online earnings, and he's into the seven figures. In the live realm, Lane has several World Series of Poker cashes — 10 to be exact — and he'll be adding another one to it here with this deep run in the 2013 Main Event. Lane has two other WSOP Main Event cashes coming from 2005 where he took 88th for $91,950 and 2008 where he got 613th for $21,230. He also has three WSOP final tables with his best result being a second-place finish in the $2,500 Mixed Hold'em event in 2011 for $187,844.

Ace-King Good for Hendren

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

After a series of preflop raises, Roger Hendren was all in and at risk preflop for 299,000 holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} of Dutchman Patrick Renkers.

The {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop changed little, but the turn was the {k-Spades}, giving Hendren a pair of aces. He released a hearty fist pump.

The river was the {a-Spades}, giving Hendren two pair for kicks and giggles, and again he punched the air with great enthusiasm. He doubled to 610,000, while Renkers fell to 500,000.
