Dion Gets Some Value

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Yann Dion raised to 48,000 in the hijack seat, David Stephens three-bet to 95,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Dion, who called.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, Dion checked, Stephens continued for 130,000, and Dion called. Both players called when the {9-Diamonds} turned, and the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Dion led out for 95,000, Stephens instantly called, and Dion took down the pot with {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks.

Jaffe Wins Huge Pot, Pushing Four Million

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

Jonathan Jaffe made it 52,000 to go from under the gun +1, and Michiel Brummelhuis called two spots over. Eli Heath also tagged along from the big blind, and the three saw a flop of {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Heath checked to Jaffe, who fired out 89,000. Brummelhuis called, Heath folded, and the turn brought the {3-Clubs}. Jaffe continued to fire, this time for 200,000, and Brummelhuis once again called fairly quickly.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and Jaffe thought it over before putting out a huge bet of 830,000. Brummelhuis called him down, and Jaffe showed {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the flopped second nut flush. Brummelhuis showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, and Jaffe collected a massive pot to get up to 3.8 million, while Brummelhuis tumbled down to 1.166 million.

Bardah's Beat Boxing Can't Save Him

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah
Ronnie Bardah

After the dealer pitched out the cards and Ronnie Bardah looked at his hand from the small blind, he began beat boxing — something he is known for being very skilled at.

Action began to fold around the table before a player opened with a raise to 54,000. When this happened, Bardah added a little extra into the beat boxing. Bardah was bobbing his head, and some of the table began clapping their hands and dancing along to the beat. Then, Jorn Walthaus three-bet from the cutoff seat to 133,000. When Walthaus did this, Bardah added another element to the beat, and even more players joined in from the table. Everyone was rocking and enjoyment captured the table.

After the button folded, Bardah double-fisted all of his chips in the middle, emphatically smashing his two towers down on the felt and picking up the beat boxing some more. Everyone at the table smiled, laughed and danced along to the melody. The big blind and original raiser folded, then Walthaus got a quick count.

Bardah was all in for 289,000, and Walthaus quickly made the call when he knew how much it was. He had the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but Bardah was out in front with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and Bardah stopped beat boxing because he now had a sweat on his hands. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, which gave Walthaus a flush draw to go along with his straight draw. Bardah leaned over and put his head on the dealer's shoulder, pleading with her not to deliver the beat. Although Bardah's good-heartened nature made her smile even more, the dealer slapped the {Q-Clubs} on the river and gave Walthaus a flush. He won the pot, and Bardah was eliminated.

"It's so crazy how it all evens out," Bardah said after the hand as he walked over to the payout desk. He was citing the hand where he doubled up by hitting a six when he got in pocket sixes against pocket sevens.

At any rate, Bardah was off to the payout desk to collect another cash, his fourth consecutive in the World Series of Poker Main Event. That ties the record held by Chris Bjorin, and Bardah, along with Christian Harder who also cashed this year, will have the chance to break the record in 2014. In 2010, Bardah took 24th for a cash of $317,161 after running into the pockets aces for Filippo Candio. He followed that up with a 453rd-place finish in 2011 for $27,103 and a 540th-place finish in 2012 for $21,707. This year, Bardah added another $50,752 to his pocket after already cashing twice earlier in the Series. One of those cashes was a third-place finish in the $5,000 Limit Hold'em event for $94,793.

Mortensen Takes a Hit

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Danard Petit open shoved all in for 401,000, and former Main Event champion Carlos Mortensen reraised all in. Everyone else folded, and the players showed their cards:

Mortensen: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Petit: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}, giving Petit bottom set, and Mortensen was in bad shape in the hand. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Mortensen extra outs. He would need either an eight for a straight or a nine for a higher set to win. The was the {k-Hearts}, however, and Petit’s set won the hand.

Mortensen is now down to 393,000 in chips, while Petit doubled up to 874,000.

Preite Two-Outs Tonnesen

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Gaetano Preite opened for 55,000, and Fredrik Halling called. Martin Tonnesen pushed all in from the blinds, and Preite called. Halling folded.

Tonnesen: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Preite: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Preite needed help to knock Tonnesen out of the tournament. The dealer rolled out the flop: {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, giving Preite a set. The turn and river were {4-Diamonds} and {k-Diamonds}, and Preite shouted in his native language and celebrated as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Ashton Griffin Eliminated

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ashton Griffin
Ashton Griffin

Ashton Griffin, one of the most accomplished players left in the field, has just seen his 2013 Main Event come to an end.

Goran Mandic raised it up to 50,000 in middle position, and Griffin moved all in for his last 323,000. Sergio Castelluccio was two seats over, and he asked for a count. After about 45 seconds in the tank, he made the call, and Mandic ducked out of the way to get us to a showdown.

Griffin: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Castelluccio: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Griffin was in need of an ace to survive, but it would never come, as the board ran down {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Castellucio took down the pot to up his stack to 1.637 million, while Griffin is ousted short of the dinner break on Day 5.

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

With {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} on the flop, Marvin Rettenmaier bet 52,000. Danard Petit called, and the dealer turned the {k-Hearts}. Rettenmaier bet out again, this time for 126,000. Petit raised all-in for 758,000, and Rettenmaier called.

Rettenmaier: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Petit: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The river was the {8-Hearts}, and Petit completed his flush to beat Rettenmaier's set. Petit recently doubled up against Carlos Mortensen, and has now doubled up again.

Cornell Shows the Bluff

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Josh Prager raised from middle position to 55,000. James Alexander called behind him, Jon Lane called from the cutoff seat, then Tyler Cornell three-bet to 227,000 out of the big blind. Prager folded, Alexander called, and Lane folded.

Play was heads up to the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and Cornell fired 235,000. Alexander called to see the {3-Diamonds} land on the turn. Cornell lead again, this time for 350,000. Alexander tanked and even asked if Cornell had aces. Eventually, he folded, and Cornell won the pot. Cornell showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for just ace high with a gutshot straight draw, prompting Alexander to pull his hat down over his head.
