Trickett Gives It Up

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Jonathan [Removed:250] checked from the small blind and Steven Silverman did the same from the big. Sam Trickett, who began the day as chip leader, then checked for the cutoff and three players saw the {A-Diamonds} turn.

Two checks put action on Trickett, and he promptly bet 6,000. [Removed:250] then sprung to life with a check-raise to 16,000, Silverman folded, and Trickett got out of the way. [Removed:250] then let Trickett turn over one of his cards, which was the {2-Spades}.

"I know," Trickett said indicating he knew the other card was also a deuce. "I had an ace with the four of hearts."

Kessler Gets Trapped in the Big Blind

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We picked up the action in a four-way pot on a flop of {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The small blind had checked to Allen Kessler, who then moved all in for 22,100 from the big. David Fhima called from the under-the-gun position, the button folded, and the small blind did the same.

"I got trapped in this hand from the big blind," Kessler admitted.

Kessler: {2-Spades}{8-Spades}
Fhima: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Kessler had flopped a pair and flush draw, and he needed to improve as Fhima held top pair. The {J-Clubs} turn didn't do it, and neither did the {Q-Clubs} river.

"Nothing I could do there," Kessler said before exiting the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Philipp "Philbort" Gruissem has been eliminated from the tournament.

Mizrachi Grows; Chidwick Shrinks

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After one player checked the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi bet 6,100. Stephen Chidwick called, and the other player folded. On the turn, the {4-Spades} landed, and Mizrachi checked. Chidwick bet 16,500, but as soon as his bet hit the felt, Mizrachi jammed all in. Chidwick folded.

Stein Chips Up Through Trickett

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Action folded to the player on the button, and he raised to 3,200. After Sam Stein called from the small blind, Sam Trickett reraised from the big blind to 8,800. The player on the button and Stein both called to take a flop with Trickett.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and Stein checked. After Trickett fired 13,500, the player on the button folded. Stein had a little under 60,000 behind and raised to 28,800. Trickett gave it up, and Stein won the pot.

Philbort's Not Ready to Go Quite Yet

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After the player in the cutoff opened for 3,200, Philipp "Philbort" Gruissem three-bet jammed from the button for 16,100 total. The blinds both folded and the cutoff made a quick call.

Gruissem: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Gruissem was behind, but not after the flop came down {2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The German managed to pair his king and took a hammerlock on the hand. Neither the {7-Clubs} turn nor {8-Diamonds} river changed a thing, and Gruissem doubled through.

Like a Rock

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a player opened and Daniel Engels three-bet, Rock Cloutier four-bet jammed from late position. The initial raiser folded and Engels made a quick call.

Cloutier: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Engels: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Cloutier opted to go with his pocket pair, but he was in trouble as Engels held a bigger one. The {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop was disaster for Cloutier as a six would no longer win it for him. He needed either running sixes, a seven with a big card, or some other miracle. The odds were strongly against him, but the {A-Spades} turn gave him some hope as another ace or the case seven would chop the pot.

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {J-Clubs} blanked on the river.
