Prager Pressures Kinane

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Joshua Prager
Joshua Prager

We found Christopher Kinane with a raise to 110,000 in front of him before Josh Prager in the hi-jack next to act made it 325,000. The action returned to Kinane and he made the call as the dealer spread a {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop before checking over to Prager.

Prager stacked his chips and pushed out a bet of 450,000 to put Kinane under pressure as the ESPN cameras rolled in to film the action.

Kinane went into the tank for close to four minutes - and at one point asked for a count of what Prager had behind (474,000) - before eventually folding his hand while slipping to 1 million in chips.

Massive Double for Wise With Another Premium Hand

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Anthony Wise, who just doubled with pocket kings, is now among our chip leaders after doubling with pocket aces.

When we arrived at the table, Jorn Walthaus had a three-bet of 85,000 sitting in front of him. His opponent, Wise, four-bet to 215,000, Walthaus five-bet to 340,000, and Wise moved all in for 850,000. Walthaus called.

Walthaus: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Wise: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Over 1.8 million chips were in the middle, and the aces held up as the board rolled out {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Walthaus slipped to 855,000.

Clements Four-Bet Shoves

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Vivek Rajkumar raised it up to 35,000 in middle position, and Jonathan Jaffe three bet to 75,000 next to act. It folded around to Samuel Clements, and he moved all in from the big blind. Rajkumar said “I was just kidding,” before folding, and Jaffe went into the tank. About a minute in he asked for exact count, and the dealer counted out 251,000. The whole while, Clements was leaning back talking casually with the floor supervisor while Jaffe was thinking. Eventually, Jaffe tossed his hand away, and Clements took down the pot.

Nadal Gets a Few from Morgenstern

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The hand started with Jose Manuel Nadal opening to 34,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Gad Morgenstern on the big blind, who made the call.

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Spades}, as Morgenstern checked his option. Nadal threw out a continuation bet of 32,000, before watching Morgenstern raise it up to 72,000. Nadal quickly made the call, as the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn. This time Morgenstern bet out 110,000, which was called. The {2-Spades} on the river saw both players check.

“Jack high,” said Morgenstern. Nadal then tabled his {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for two pair, which was good enough to take down the pot.

Gohr Snaps Off Schwartz

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Sebastian Gohr raised to 32,000 after action folded to his button, and Noah Schwartz asked for a count of his chips after the small blind folded. He announced all in, and Gohr beat him into the pot.

Gohr: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Schwartz: {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Schwartz needed considerable help, and the {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop brought only a deeper hole. A {k-Hearts} gave Schwartz a meaningless two pair, and a {4-Diamonds} completed the board.

"Aces on the button," Schwartz muttered.

Pardo Eliminated

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After unknown preflop action, Jorge Ufano Pardo was all in and at risk preflop for around 400,000 holding {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. He was racing against the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} of Amir Lehavot, and Lehavot flopped a full house when the dealer fanned {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}. He improved to quads when the {10-Diamonds} turned, and a meaningless {j-Clubs} completed the board.

Pardo hit the rail, while Lehavot is up to 2.3 million chips.

Rajkumar Wins Another

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Vivek Rajkumar raised it up to 35,000 from under the gun +1, and both blinds called: Alex Bilokur from the small, and Kima Kimura from the big. The flop ran down {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and it was checked to Rajkumar, who c-bet to 75,000. Bilokur was the lone caller, and the turn brought the {Q-Clubs}. Bilokur checed again, and Rajkumar made the same bet of 75,000. Bilokur called, and the river was the {5-Clubs}. For the third time, Bilokur checked lightning quick, and Rajkumar moved all in. The bet was effectively for for 257,000, as that was the remainder of Bilokur’s stack. Bilokur folded, and Rajkumar added more chips to his growing stack.

Fernandez Falls, then Climbs Back

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A short while ago Pedro Fernandez open-pushed all in for just over 155,000 from the button, then Max Ovseyevitz called all in for 134,000 from the big blind. Ovseyevitz had {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Fernandez {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and after the board rolled out {8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, Ovseyevitz had doubled while Fernandez was crippled down to just a little over one big blind.

A couple of hands later Fernandez was all in for his last 16,000 from the hijack seat and four players called — Ronnie Bardah (cutoff), Ovseyevitz (button), Eddie Blumenthal (small blind), and Jay Farber (big blind). The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and it checked around to Ovseyevitz who bet 41,000, good enough to force folds from the other three players.

Ovseyevitz showed that he'd flopped top pair with {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, while Fernandez began calling for cards to pair his hand as he held {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Fourth street then brought the {Q-Hearts} to hit Fernandez's hand, and after the {J-Hearts} river he had quintupled up.

On the very next hand Fernandez was all in again with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against Fabian Ortiz's {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, and the board ran out {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to give Fernandez trips and push him right back close to where he was to start the sequence.

Lane Extends Lead

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jonathan Lane
Jonathan Lane

Chip leader Jon Lane raised to 32,000 from early position, and David Stephens three-bet to 84,000 from late position. Action folded back to Lane, who called. The dealer fanned a {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and Lane check-called a bet worth 104,000. On the {7-Spades} turn, Lane became the aggressor by leading out for 105,000. Stephens responded by raising to 280,000, and Lane called after a minute of thought.

With nearly a million chips now in the pot, the {8-Hearts} fell on the river. Lane checked, and Stephens stared at the board for about two minutes before deciding to check behind. Lane flipped over {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for queens and sevens, and Stephens showed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

"Couldn't get you off that if I jammed the river, could I?" Stephens asked Lane. The chip leader shook his head with a sly grin on his face, and began adding chips to his tower.
