Baldwin Hits an Ace from Space

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Eric Baldwin opened with a raise from early position and was met by a three-bet to 9,400 by Chris Johnson in the hijack. Action folded back to Baldwin and he opted to move all in for 49,600. Johnson asked for a count and made the call.

Johnson: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Baldwin: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop wasn't much help to Baldwin, and the {3-Hearts} turn meant he needed an ace and an ace only on the river to survive. Wouldn't you know it, the dealer burned and put out the {A-Hearts}! Johnson was left with just 5,000 after the hand, and that disappeared a short time later.

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Heinz Kamutzki has been eliminated from the tournament.

Silverman Picks Up Cowboys

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in Steven Silverman getting his stack of 42,400 all in against Thomas Paul.

Paul: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Silverman: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a great spot for the man that won the inaugural World Poker Tour Alpha8 event last year, and he was rewarded with a double after the board ran out a safe {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Chidwick vs. Kamutzki

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Heinz Kamutzki opened the action for 3,300 only to have Stephen Chidwick three-bet all in for 33,500 from the small blind. The big got out of the way and Kamutzki made a quick call.

Kamutzki: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Chidwick was in need of some help, and while he got a little on the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop, he needed more if he hoped to survive. He didn't receive it on the {5-Spades} turn, but he did on the {A-Spades} river. Chidwick got lucky to make two pair, and that left Kamutzki with just 2,500 in chips.
