Kevin Williams
Kevin Williams

David Benefield raised to 80,000 from middle position, and one player called before action fell on Kevin Williams in the small blind. He reraised all in for 830,000. Benefield called, and the other player folded.

Benefield showed the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, which was well ahead of the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for Williams. The flop, turn and river ran out {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds} to give Benefield a full house and eliminate Williams from the tournament. Benefield now has 3.76 million in chips.

Walthaus Gets Paid Off by Farber

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The action started with Jay Farber opening to 85,000 from under the gun plus one. He was called by Jorn Walthaus in the cutoff, as the two saw the flop come {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Farber threw out a continuation bet of 135,000 which was called, before firing out another 330,000 when the {5-Spades} fell on the turn.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board, and Farber opted to check. Walthaus then reached for his chips, before sliding out 675,000, which
was snap called.

Walthaus tabled his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a flopped set of sixes, which disgusted Farber. He tabled his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} as he leaned back in his chair, and letting out a loud “F***,” in anger.

Tabali Takes From Dattani

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Keanu Tabali
Keanu Tabali

Keanu Tabali and Umang Dattani were just involved in a hand that saw them trading bets up to fifth street with the board coming {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, then {Q-Spades}, then {9-Hearts}.

At the sight of that river card and fourth heart on board, Tabali tossed out a bet of 145,000, and Dattani shook his head as he made a somewhat reluctant-seeming call. Tabali showed {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a flush with his ten, and Dattani kept on shaking his head as he turned over his {K-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a lesser flush and then sent the cards to the dealer.

Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

From middle position, Noah Schwartz raised to 85,000. Nick Schwarmann made the call from the big blind, and the flop came down {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Schwarmann checked, Schwartz bet 95,000, and Schwarmann called.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Schwarmann checked again. Schwartz kept the pressure on with a bet of 245,000, and Schwarmann called.

The {7-Diamonds} paired the board on the river, and Schwarmann checked. Schwartz bet 430,000, and that sent Schwarmann into the tank. Eventually, he made the call, and watched Schwartz tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Schwarmann mucked, and Schwartz won the pot.

Sweat for Mortensen

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jaime Kaplan raised to 80,000 from middle position, and Simon Ravnsbaek three-bet all in for 790,000. Carlos Mortensen thought for a minute, then pushed forward a call from the big blind. Kaplan also thought for a minute, but decided to fold. The players turned up their cards:

Ravnsbaek: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Mortensen: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Both players held pocket kings, and they would split the pot unless one of them made a flush. The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, giving Ravnbaek a flush draw, but the turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river the {3-Diamonds}. The flush did not materialize for Ravnsbaek, and the players split the pot.

Four Bet Works for Petit

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

JC Tran opened the action to 85,000 from under the gun, and Oliver Price was next to act. He reraised to 195,000, and Danard Petit was the next player up. Undeterred by the two early position raises, Petit tossed out a four bet to 510,000. It got back to Tran, who tank folded, and Price quickly tossed his hand away, giving Petit the pot.

Grayson Gone

Grayson Ramage
Grayson Ramage

Catching the action on the {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} flop we found James Alexander betting out 400,000 only to have Grayson Ramage move all in for 1,130,000. Alexander called and the cards were tabled.

Alexander: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Ramage: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

With Ramage trailing with his overpair, the {2-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a total of eight outs to stay alive, but when the {7-Clubs} landed on the river, Ramage would be heading to the payout cage as Alexander climbed to 3,800,000 in chips.
