Seidel Stops The Slide

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Erik Seidel defended his big blind against a Jason Mercier open and they went heads-up to a {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop. Seidel then check-called a 2,300-chip c-bet from Mercier and the {8-Clubs} turn was revealed.

Seidel check-raised this time, potting it after Mercier fired 6,100 at the pot. Mercier folded.

Faraz Finished

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Faraz Jaka made it 2,200 and Anthony Zinno made the call in position. It was heads-up to the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop where Jaka continued, betting 3,400. Zinno called and the action heated up on the {4-Spades} turn.

Jaka bet 6,800, Zinno potted, effectively putting Jaka all in for the 15,000 or so he had behind and he made the call for his tournament life with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Zinno held {k-Spades}{j-Spades} and already ahead with two pair, he made the spade flush on the {10-Spades} river to send Jaka out.

Jason Mercier put his last 10,000 or so in on a board of {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Dwyte Pilgrim swore before making the call.

Pilgrim: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Mercier: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Mercier had binked the turn and got in with great equity, and Pilgrim didn't find any help on the {10-Clubs} river.

Shak Gutted By Juanda

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Dan Shak's big day just came to a crashing halt. He still has chips, but the majority of the stack he spent the day building was just shipped one seat over to John Juanda.

The board read {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and from what we can gather, Shak bet the river, then called when Juanda potted it all in for his last 65,000. Shak's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} had been outdrawn by Juanda's {a-Spades}{j-Spades} belly buster.
