One For Pearson

Level 19

Limit Hold'em

Marco Johnson raised from late position and Travis Pearson three-bet from the button. The blinds folded and Johnson stuck around.

The flop came {6-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Johnson checked. Pearson continued and Johnson called. The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and once again Johnson check-called a bet. The river was the {8-Spades} and Johnson check-called for a third time.

Pearson showed {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Johnson flashed the {A-Spades} and mucked his hand. Pearson picked up the pot and is now sitting on 160,000.

Mueller Takes a Three-Bet Pot

Level 19

Limit Hold'em

Michael Hurey raised from middle position, and Dario Alioto three-bet from the button. Greg Mueller cold-called in the big blind, and Hurey called as well.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Mueller and Hurey checked, and Alioto bet. Mueller raised, and Hurey folded. Both players checked the {q-Hearts} turn, and the dealer revealed the {4-Spades} as the river. Mueller fired, and his opponent folded.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, and Pearson's aces up sent Herrick to the rail.

Popescu Outted by Crain's Seven

Level 19

2-7 Triple Draw

Eric Crain opened before the draw and Septimiu Popescu three-bet. Marco Johnson called and Crain made it four bets. Both players called. Popescu took one, Johnson drew two, and Crain took one.

Popescu led out and Johnson called. Crain raised and Popescu three-bet it right back. Johnson called again and Crain capped it. Both players called.

Both Popescu and Crain stood pat while Johnson took two once more. Septimu bet his last 8,500 and was all in. Johnson called and Crain raised when it came to him. Johnson called once more and drew one card on the draw. Crain stood pat.

Johnson checked and Crain fired a bet. Johnson folded and Crain fanned {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. Popescu shook his head, flashed an {8-} low and mucked his hand. His elimination has prompted a total redraw to the final two tables.

"I'm Admittedly Stalling"

Level 19

Josh Arieh mockingly called the clock on himself, then another player obliged him.

"I'm admittedly stalling," Arieh told the tournament director in an attempt to get the tournament to be played hand for hand on the bubble of a redraw and money jump. The director offered him only a penalty in response.

Wattel Doubles With Aces

Level 19

Limit Hold'em

We caught up with the action to see Michael Malm, Dario Alioto, and Mike Wattel take in a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Malm and Alioto checked and Wattel fired out. Malm called and Alioto raised. Wattel made it three bets and Malm got out of the way. Alioto stuck around.

The {10-Hearts} turned and Alioto checked. Wattel moved all in for his last 5,100 and Alioto called.

Wattel: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Alioto: {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Wattel was ahead with pocket aces and stayed that way when the {k-Spades} finished off the board. He now has about 110,000 to Alioto's 215,000.
