Brenes Doubles Through Seiver

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Alexander Venovski raised to 20,000 on the button, and Scott Seiver called. Humberto Brenes moved all in out of the big blind. Venovski folded, and Seiver made the call.

Seiver: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Brenes: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Seiver's outlook got even grimmer on the {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, though the {q-Spades} turn provided a sweat. A {4-Diamonds} river meant the affable Costa Rican doubled up.

Brunson Doubles Again, Shatters Kings

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

A very active Chino Rheem made it 22,000 and Todd Brunson potted. Rheem re-potted and they got it all in before the flop with Brunson holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to Rheem's {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

It looked bad for Brunson, but he started picking up outs as the {5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop rolled out. The {q-Diamonds} turn didn't help, but the {j-Spades} river sure did, making him a king-cracking broadway straight and doubling him back into contention.

Humberto Brenes Eliminated in 14th Place ($25,327)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Humberto Brenes - 14th Place
Humberto Brenes - 14th Place

Humberto Brenes got all of his chips in after a {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop against Alexander Venovski.

Brenes: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Venovski: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Brenes was in awful shape, and even worse, the {8-Hearts} hit the turn to leave him drawing dead. The {9-Spades} river was a mere formality, and "The Shark" was sent overboard.

Keith Tilston Eliminated in 13th Place ($25,327)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Keith Tilston 13th.
Keith Tilston 13th.

A few hands after Keith Tilston hit an ace with {a-}{j-} to crack Chino Rheem's {j-}{j-} and double up, they butted heads again.

Tilston led out for 25,000 and Rheem fired back in the big blind, making it 81,000. It took a good four minutes for Tilson to make the call, but when he did, and the flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Rheem potted instantly, putting Tilston to a decision for his tournament life.

He made the call with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and looked good to double up again with Rheem on {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The {5-Diamonds} turn was safe, but the {8-Spades} river made Rheem a set and sent Tilston home with a bad beat story and a pocket full of cash.

Scott Seiver Eliminated in 12th Place ($30,516)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Scott Seiver 12th.
Scott Seiver 12th.

After Scott Seiver raised and Pratyush Buddiga potted, they got it all in before the flop with virtually the same hand.

It was {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for Buddiga and {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for Seiver and it appeared it would be a chop after the {6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop.

However, the {q-Spades} turn gave Buddiga a flush draw that the {2-Spades} river completed, sending Seiver to the rail in a rather ugly way.
