Taylor Doubles Through Madsen

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to James Taylor in the cutoff seat, and he raised to 19,000. Jeff Madsen took some time in the small blind, and then reraised all in. Jim Collopy folded from the big blind, and then Taylor went into the tank. Eventually, Taylor made the call with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and that was ahead of Madsen's {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, and Taylor doubled up.

Olivier Busquet
Olivier Busquet

From under the gun, Olivier Busquet moved all in for 68,000. Aaron Massey made the call on the button, and everyone else folded. Busquet tabled the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and that meant bad news for Massey holding the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

After a board of {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, Busquet doubled up.

Garcia Doubles Through Conley Then Busts to Him

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jay Conley opened for 13,000 and was met by an all-in three-bet to 48,000 from Jose Garcia. Action folded back to Conley and he made the call.

Conley: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Garcia: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Garcia had the better ace, and he scored the double after the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, those chips would all find their way to Conley a few hands later.

That is when, on a board reading {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}, Garcia shipped and Conley called. The former had the {a-Spades}{j-} for top pair with top kicker, but it was no good as Conley held the {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for two pair. The {10-Clubs} river improved Conley to a full house, and Garcia was bounced in 34th place for $12,847.

Madsen Rockets Collopy to the Rail

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jim Collopy just busted in 33rd place to send the tournament down to its final four tables. Jeff Madsen was the player who sent him packing thanks to pocket rockets.

After Aaron Massey opened from the cutoff seat to 12,000, Madsen reraised to 31,000 from the button. Collopy reraised all in for approximately 70,000 from the small blind, and Olivier Busquet folded from the big blind. Massey also folded, and then Madsen made the quick call with the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Collopy was at risk with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

Collopy didn't get much help at all on the {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, but he did pair up when the {K-Hearts} hit the turn. Needed another king on the river, Collopy watched as the dealer slapped out the {3-Hearts} to end his tournament. Madsen, on the other hand, moved back to 540,000 in chips.

Kanit: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
O'Brien: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

O'Brien faded Kanit's outs when the {3-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds} completed the board, and he doubled up.

Bowker With a Chip an a Chair

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Josh Bergman was all in preflop for 103,000, and Kyle Bowker, who had him covered by just a single T1,000 chip, made the call.

Bergman: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Bowker: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Bowker got it in good, but the {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop gave Bergman the lead. The {4-Hearts} turn was no help to Bowker, and neither was the {8-Hearts} river.

Bowker managed to turn his 1,000 into 8,000 by winning the next hand, which turned into 29,000 when he won the hand after that. He's working on his own "a chip and a chair" story.
