Barer Busts

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Ami Barer raised to 12,000 from under the gun, Calvin Anderson reraised to 26,000 on the button, and Barer made the call.

Barer check-called a bet of 17,000 on a flop of {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}, and the Canadian check-called another 20,000 on the turn ({7-Clubs}). The {k-Clubs} completed the board, Barer checked again, and Anderson moved all in for effectively 71,000.

The 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event champ folded, and Anderson pulled in the pot.

A few hands later Barer was all in and at risk preflop with {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} against Nick Schulman's {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The board rolled out {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Barer was eliminated.

Eights For Fee

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Ryan Fee led into the middle for 57,000. Brian Rast called from the button and the two remained heads up to the river.

The {10-Hearts} completed the board and Fee slowed down with a check. Rast checked it back and then mucked his hand after seeing Fee's {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Fee raked in the chips and now has about 565,000 in chips.

Hutter Five-Bet Jams

Barry Hutter
Barry Hutter

John Juanda raised to 14,000 in the cutoff, Barry Hutter reraised to 35,000 on his direct left and the action folded back to Juanda.

The five-time WSOP bracelet winner shot Hutter a cold stare as he pulled his original bet back and replaced it with a four-bet to what looked like 75,000. Hutter moved all in for effectively 240,000 or so, Juanda grinned, then folded.

Selbst Spikes an Ace to Eliminate Griffin in Brutal Fashion

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Ashton Griffin
Ashton Griffin

In one of the last hands before the break, Ashton Griffin opened with a raise from the hijack only to have Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. Griffin refused to back down and pushed back with a four-bet to 85,000. Selbst paused for a few moments before announcing that she was all in and Griffin snap-called off for around 290,000.

Griffin: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Selbst: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop delivered Selbst a gutshot straight draw, but it would be the {A-Diamonds} turn that would give her the lead and leave Griffin dejected. The {2-Clubs} river failed to help Griffin, who made a beeline to the exit while Selbst added to her already massive stack.

Bonomo Busts Torelli

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Brian Green on the button and he raised to 12,000. Alec Torelli was in the small blind and he cut out a three-bet to 31,000. Justin Bonomo four-bet to 75,000 from the big blind and Green let his cards go. Torelli five-bet shipped all in for about 168,000 and Bonomo quickly called.

Bonomo: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Torelli: {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Torelli's ace-king was out in front but that all quickly changed when Bonomo paired his queen on the {6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The {5-Hearts} hit the turn, giving Torelli outs to make a heart flush. Ultimately, nothing materialized on the river, as the {4-Spades} completed the board and Torelli was eliminated from play. Bonomo picked up the pot and now sits on 622,000 in chips.
