More for O'Brien

Level 13 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a board of {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts} Dan O'Brien bet 8,800 into a pot that had had around 10,000 in it. Kyle Julius in big blind made the fold, but Brock Parker who began the hand under the gun called.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and this time O'Brien grabbed a stacked of yellows and pushed them out, betting 25,400. Parker took a few seconds then folded.

O'Brien is looking to challenge Cliff Josephy at his table for the chip lead after that pot.

Steinberg Chipping Up

Level 13 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Max Steinberg is taking control of his table. After doubling through Victor Ramdin, he ended up scooping a large pot against Ramdin and Cherish Andrews. On a flop of {7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, action checked to Andrews, who led out for 3,000. Steinberg raised to 10,500, and both Ramdin and Andrews called. When the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Ramdin and Andrews checked and Steinberg continued for 30,500. Ramdin folded, but Andrews called to see the {9-Hearts} on the river. She checked, and Steinberg pushed all-in for over 70,000. Andrews went into the tank, thinking for a couple minutes before folding. He now sits with 175,000.

Here are the chip counts from his table:

Victor Ramdin

Victor Ramdin had taken a huge hit to his stack just before break, and was down to about 3,000.

Ramdin showed {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but Steinberg had him dominated with {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. The board ran out {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}, giving Ramdin no help and Steinberg won the pot. Ramdin has been eliminated.

Bianco Doubles Through Salsberg

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With Matt Salsberg in the small blind and Salvatore Bianco in the big blind, the two players got their chips in the middle pre-flop. Salsberg turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, but Bianco had {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. The flop rolled out {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}, giving Bianco a set of kings and an even bigger lead. The turn was the {a-Spades}, pairing Salsberg's ace, but he was still drawing dead even before the meaningless {j-Diamonds} fell of the river. Bianco doubled up, and Salsberg still has a respectable stack.
